System Initiative MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude Code with direct access to System Initiative's API for managing infrastructure components, change sets, schemas, and actions.

Development Setup

Environment Variables

Required:

export SI_API_TOKEN="your-token-here" export SI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:5380" # Defaults to production if not overridden

Optional analytics configuration:

export POSTHOG_API_KEY="dev-posthog-key" # Override if you want to use the Dev Project to test tracking changes

Testing with MCP Inspector

The MCP Inspector provides a web interface for testing tools and debugging:

# Start the inspector deno task inspector

This opens a browser interface where you can:

Test individual tools with parameters
Inspect tool schemas and validate responses
Debug authentication and connection issues
View real-time tool execution

Testing with Claude Code

Configure Claude Code to use your local server (without running in a container):

# From the repository root claude mcp add si-mcp-server-dev -- deno run --allow-env --allow-net bin/si-mcp-server/main.ts stdio # Or from within si-mcp-server directory claude mcp add si-mcp-server-dev -- deno run --allow-env --allow-net main.ts stdio # Verify it's working claude mcp list
