handoff-mcp-server

Durable handoffs and shared scratchpad for multi-agent workflows over MCP (HTTP transport).

Endpoints

  • GET / basic service info

  • GET /health health and storage stats

  • POST /mcp JSON-RPC MCP endpoint

  • GET /robots.txt discovery file

  • GET /llms.txt discovery file

  • GET /sitemap.xml discovery file

Related MCP server: ax-platform-mcp

Environment Variables

  • PORT default 3000

  • DATA_DIR default /data

  • MCP_API_KEY required in production (NODE_ENV=production)

  • PUBLIC_MCP_DISCOVERY default true

  • PUBLIC_BASE_URL optional, used for absolute links in discovery files

Local Run

npm ci
npm run build
MCP_API_KEY=test-secret node dist/index.js

MCP Auth Behavior

  • Discovery methods (initialize, tools/list, resources/list, prompts/list, ping) can be public when PUBLIC_MCP_DISCOVERY=true.

  • tools/call requires valid upstream auth when MCP_API_KEY is set:

    • Authorization: Bearer <MCP_API_KEY> or

    • x-api-key: <MCP_API_KEY>

Xpay + Railway Configuration (Required)

  1. Railway variables:

  • MCP_API_KEY=<your-strong-key>

  • PUBLIC_MCP_DISCOVERY=true

  • PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://handoff-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app

  1. Xpay MCP URL:

  • Use https://handoff-mcp-server-production.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=xpay_sk_...

  • Without ?key=..., Xpay returns auth required and requests will not forward.

  1. Client calls through Xpay:

  • Keep the Xpay key in URL.

  • Also send upstream auth header for tools/call (x-api-key or Bearer token matching MCP_API_KEY).

Publishing

MCP Registry

  • Server name: io.github.josephibra/handoff-mcp-server

  • Primary remote: Xpay URL (with key at client usage time, not committed)

  • Secondary remote: Railway URL

Smithery

  • Namespace: josephibrahim

  • Server ID: handoff-mcp-server

  • MCP Server URL: https://handoff-mcp-server-production.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=xpay_sk_...

Agentverse

  • Create a new agent and attach MCP server:

    • URL: https://handoff-mcp-server-production.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=xpay_sk_...

    • Headers: x-api-key: <MCP_API_KEY> for tool execution paths

  • PulseMCP directory

  • mcp.so

  • OpenTools catalog

  • MCPmarket / mcpservers.org

Use the same canonical MCP URL and matching auth notes everywhere to avoid inconsistent behavior.
