@sytadel/mcp-server

Model Context Protocol server that exposes Sytadel identity + access primitives as tools consumable from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-aware client.

Ships 5 tools out of the box:

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ElwinErnst/sytadel-mcp-server
cd sytadel-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Auth has two modes — pick one depending on which tools you need:

User mode (recommended for operators)

Full role scope. Every admin-level tool (list_tenant_users, list_service_accounts, run_access_review) works.

export SYTADEL_TENANT_SLUG=your-tenant
export SYTADEL_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
export SYTADEL_USER_PASSWORD=your-password

Service account mode

Restricted API_CLIENT scope. Read-only tools work (query_session_anomalies, generate_policy); admin tools return 403.

export SYTADEL_TENANT_SLUG=your-tenant
export SYTADEL_CLIENT_APP_ID=<uuid>
export SYTADEL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID=<uuid>
export SYTADEL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET=syt_...

Endpoint URLs (optional overrides)

export SYTADEL_AUTH_API_URL=http://localhost:3002/api   # default
export SYTADEL_ZT_API_URL=http://localhost:3010          # default
export SYTADEL_TIMEOUT_MS=60000                          # default 60s

Wiring into Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sytadel": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SYTADEL_AUTH_API_URL": "http://localhost:3002/api",
        "SYTADEL_ZT_API_URL": "http://localhost:3010",
        "SYTADEL_TENANT_SLUG": "your-tenant",
        "SYTADEL_USER_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "SYTADEL_USER_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 5 tools appear in the tool picker.

Wiring into Cursor

Same shape, different path: ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or via Settings → MCP → Add).

Local sanity check

With the Sytadel stack running (docker compose up -d at the repo root):

npm run build
SYTADEL_TENANT_SLUG=sentinel-labs \
SYTADEL_USER_EMAIL=admin@test.com \
SYTADEL_USER_PASSWORD=123456 \
node dist/index.js

The server logs starting stdio server: ... connected — awaiting MCP client and waits for JSON-RPC on stdin.

Design notes

• No third-party HTTP library. Everything uses native fetch + AbortController.

• Token cache with 60s early refresh and inflight-request coalescing so parallel tool calls share one auth handshake.

• Logs to stderr only. stdout is reserved for JSON-RPC framing; any console.log on stdout corrupts the protocol.
