SourceSync.ai MCP Server

smithery badge

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the SourceSync.ai API. This server allows AI models to interact with SourceSync.ai's knowledge management platform through a standardized interface.

Features

Manage namespaces for organizing knowledge
Ingest content from various sources (text, URLs, websites, external services)
Retrieve, update, and manage documents stored in your knowledge base
Perform semantic and hybrid searches against your knowledge base
Access document content directly from parsed text URLs
Manage connections to external services
Default configuration support for seamless AI integration

Installation

Running with npx

# Install and run with your API key and tenant ID env SOURCESYNC_API_KEY=your_api_key npx -y sourcesyncai-mcp

Installing via Smithery

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

npx -y @smithery/cli install @pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/sourcesyncai-mcp.git cd sourcesyncai-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build # Run the server node dist/index.js

Running on Cursor

To configure SourceSync.ai MCP in Cursor:

Open Cursor Settings
Go to Features > MCP Servers
Click + Add New MCP Server
Enter the following:
- Name: sourcesyncai-mcp (or your preferred name)
- Type: command
- Command: env SOURCESYNCAI_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y sourcesyncai-mcp

After adding, you can use SourceSync.ai tools with Cursor's AI features by describing your knowledge management needs.

Running on Windsurf

Add this to your ./codeium/windsurf/model_config.json:

Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts you can use with Claude or Cursor after configuring the MCP server:

"Search my SourceSync knowledge base for information about machine learning."
"Ingest this article into my SourceSync knowledge base: [URL]"
"Create a new namespace in SourceSync for my project documentation."
"List all the documents in my SourceSync namespace."
"Get the text content of document [document_id] from my SourceSync namespace."

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

If you encounter issues connecting the SourceSync.ai MCP server:

Verify Paths: Ensure all paths in your configuration are absolute paths, not relative.
Check Permissions: Ensure the server file has execution permissions (chmod +x dist/index.js).
Enable Developer Mode: In Claude Desktop, enable Developer Mode and check the MCP Log File.
Test the Server: Run the server directly from the command line:
node /path/to/sourcesyncai-mcp/dist/index.js
Restart AI Client: After making changes, completely restart Claude Desktop or Cursor.
Check Environment Variables: Ensure all required environment variables are correctly set.

Debug Logging

Document content retrieval workflow:

First, use getDocuments with includeConfig.parsedTextFileUrl: true to get documents with their content URLs
Extract the URL from the document response
Use fetchUrlContent to retrieve the actual content:

{ "name": "fetchUrlContent", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com" } }
