Code Mode
This MCP server is built on the "Code Mode" tool scheme. In this MCP Server, your agent will write code against the TypeScript SDK, which will then be executed in an isolated sandbox. To accomplish this, the server will expose two tools to your agent:
The first tool is a docs search tool, which can be used to generically query for documentation about your API/SDK.
The second tool is a code tool, where the agent can write code against the TypeScript SDK. The code will be executed in a sandbox environment without web or filesystem access. Then, anything the code returns or prints will be returned to the agent as the result of the tool call.
Using this scheme, agents are capable of performing very complex tasks deterministically and repeatably.
Running remotely
Launching the client with --transport=http launches the server as a remote server using Streamable HTTP transport. The --port setting can choose the port it will run on, and the --socket setting allows it to run on a Unix socket.
Authorization can be provided via the following headers:
Header | Equivalent client option | Security scheme |
|
| proKeyAuth |
|
| demoKeyAuth |
A configuration JSON for this server might look like this, assuming the server is hosted at http://localhost:3000:
