Setup

Installing via Smithery

To install mcp-jfrog for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher
• Docker (if using Docker deployment, See Docker Deployment )
• A valid JFrog platform instance with appropriate permissions
• Access to create and manage access tokens in your JFrog platform instance

Environment Variables

• JFROG_ACCESS_TOKEN: Your JFrog access token (required)
• JFROG_URL: Base URL for your JFrog platform (required)
• TRANSPORT: Transport mode to use, set to 'sse' to enable SSE transport (default: stdio)
• PORT: Port number to use for SSE transport (default: 8080)
• CORS_ORIGIN: CORS origin allowed for SSE connections (default: '*')

• MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS: Maximum number of reconnection attempts for SSE server (default: 5)
• RECONNECT_DELAY_MS: Base delay in milliseconds between reconnection attempts (default: 2000)

JFrog Token (JFROG_ACCESS_TOKEN)

To use this MCP server, you need to create a JFrog Access Token or use an identity token with appropriate permissions:

For information on how to create a JFrog Token, please refer to the JFrog official documentations:

• Identity Tokens
• Access Tokens

JFrog URL (JFROG_URL)

Your JFrog platform instance URL (e.g. https://acme.jfrog.io)

SSE Transport Features

The SSE transport mode includes the following features:

• Connection Management: Each SSE connection is tracked with a unique ID, allowing clients to maintain state across reconnection attempts.
• Structured Logging: Detailed logs with timestamps, severity levels, and relevant contextual information.
• Connection Resilience: Automatic reconnection attempts with exponential backoff if the server fails to start.
• Health Endpoint: A /health endpoint that returns server status information.
• Connection Tracking: Real-time tracking of active connections with periodic statistics logging.
• Performance Metrics: Execution time tracking for tool operations and HTTP requests.

When using SSE mode:

1. Clients should connect to the /sse endpoint, optionally providing a connectionId query parameter for session tracking.
2. Client requests should be sent to the /messages endpoint with the same connectionId as a query parameter.
3. The server will respond with server-sent events through the established SSE connection.

Example client connection with connection ID:

SSE Transport Mode

To use the JFrog MCP Server with SSE transport mode (useful for web interfaces like Cursor's webview):

Note: For SSE mode, you need to add the serverUrl parameter pointing to your SSE endpoint, and expose the port used by the server (-p 8080:8080).

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Docker

npm
