InvokePort — JSON Schema Validation, JSON to TypeScript, CSV to JSON, JSON Repair & JSON to CSV
Summary: This MCP server lets an agent discover (search_capabilities), inspect (get_capability), and execute (invoke_capability) seven free, deterministic data tools — no LLM calls or payments involved.
search_capabilities— find available tools by query with pagination; public and keyless (returns up to seven summaries).get_capability— fetch the input schema and example for one of:json-schema,json-types,csv-json,json-repair,json-csv,openapi-security,webhook-check.invoke_capability— compute a free built-in result from{tool, input, attemptId}; requires a limitedtools:invokekey set privately in the client config.JSON Schema validation — check a value against a bounded structural subset of a schema.
JSON to TypeScript — generate TypeScript types from JSON.
CSV to JSON and JSON to CSV — convert flat rows; formula-like text escaped and counted.
JSON repair — best-effort fix of malformed JSON (e.g. LLM output); cannot recover missing facts.
OpenAPI security and webhook checks — first-party built-ins alongside the data tools.
Reliable invocation semantics — unique 16–128 char
attemptId, server-side quota/journal, reserved attempts never re-executed, no automatic retries; results over 32 KiB explicitly omitted.Guardrails — 128 KiB request / 512 KiB response / 20s limits, redirects and paid tools fail closed, keys never echoed or placed in tool arguments.
InvokePort — data infrastructure for AI agents
Connect once and let an agent call seven deterministic data tools through remote MCP: JSON Schema validation, JSON to TypeScript, CSV to JSON, JSON repair and JSON to CSV, plus OpenAPI security and webhook checks. No LLM calls or USDC payments are needed for these built-ins.
Connect with remote MCP
Endpoint: https://invokeport.com/api/mcp
Use a client supporting Streamable HTTP and custom Authorization headers. For example, Claude Code's private MCP configuration can expand a privately configured environment variable:
{
"mcpServers": {
"invokeport": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://invokeport.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${INVOKEPORT_API_KEY}" }
}
}
}Client setup and key issuance.
Discovery (initialize and tools/list) is public. Execution requires a scoped
tools:invoke key, allowed tool IDs and quota; initial key setup uses wallet sign-in
and a profile. Keep the key in private client settings, never in a prompt or tool argument.
The endpoint supports legacy MCP through 2025-11-25 with SDK 1.30.0. It does not implement MCP 2026-07-28 or OAuth. The hosted endpoint version is 0.3.0; the independent local STDIO package below remains 0.2.0.
Remote discovery returns seven direct tools:
invokeport_json_repair, invokeport_json_schema, invokeport_json_csv,
invokeport_json_types, invokeport_csv_json, invokeport_openapi_security,
invokeport_webhook_check.
Each takes {input, attemptId} with the actual input schema. A fresh non-secret
16–128 character attempt ID identifies each intended call. Quota, scope, revocation
and the existing invocation journal apply. Reserved attempts cannot execute again;
uncertain outcomes need reconciliation, not automatic retries.

First useful agent workflow
Malformed LLM JSON → repair → validate a known schema → CSV. Run the complete example or download agent-workflow.mjs.
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.30.0
node agent-workflow.mjs
# After configuring a private key allowing json-repair, json-schema and json-csv:
node agent-workflow.mjs --runNode >=22.5.0. Without --run this only lists tools. With it, the synthetic
example performs three free calls and stops if schema validation fails or a result
is unavailable. It returns a two-row CSV and three request IDs to inspect in the
owner's journal. Each started attempt is reported before its request; no automatic retries.
Repair is best effort, schema validation supports a bounded structural subset, and
CSV accepts flat rows. Outputs above 32 KiB are explicitly omitted.
Building an agent that needs this pipeline? Try one integration and open an issue with the client, tool and non-sensitive error details. Never paste keys or private payloads.
Optional local STDIO connector
The npm connector exposes search_capabilities, get_capability and
invoke_capability rather than seven direct tools. It uses the same seven
first-party built-ins, policies and free execution API. It calls no LLM, uses
no browser cookies, and does not access paid or deferred external integrations.
Install STDIO
Use Node >=22.5.0 and an MCP host that supports STDIO. Configure:
{
"mcpServers": {
"invokeport": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "invokeport-mcp@0.2.0"],
"env": { "INVOKEPORT_ORIGIN": "https://invokeport.com" }
}
}
}On Windows, hosts that require an executable may use cmd with arguments
["/c", "npx", "-y", "invokeport-mcp@0.2.0"]. Alternatively install the package
locally and launch Node with the absolute installed server.mjs path.
Search and schema retrieval work without a key.
To run tools, sign in at InvokePort Keys and create a limited key allowing the selected tool. Sign-in uses an off-chain wallet message; free tools need no USDC or payment signature. Supply the key privately through your MCP host's secret settings. Never include it in the configuration committed to a repository.
STDIO configuration
INVOKEPORT_ORIGIN: explicit trusted origin, e.g.http://127.0.0.1:3000for local development. HTTP accepts only literal loopback; remote origins require HTTPS. No username, password, query, fragment or path is permitted.INVOKEPORT_API_KEY: optional for search/schema, required for invocation. Use an unexpired limited key withtools:invoke, a named policy, allowed tool IDs and a quota. Do not put the value in tool arguments, command-line flags, committed config, prompts or logs. This program does not read.envfiles or credential stores.
The public origin is https://invokeport.com; invocation requires a limited
key issued there. The connector never enables or calls paid tools even when
the site's paid marketplace is active.
STDIO use
Task examples in 0.2.0:
JSON repair: get
json-repair, then call with{"text":"{name:'Alpha',}"}. Review repaired values; this cannot recover missing facts.JSON to CSV: get
json-csv, then call with{"rows":[{"name":"Alpha","count":2}]}. Flat rows only; formula-like text is escaped and counted.JSON to TypeScript, JSON Schema validation, and CSV to JSON remain available under their existing IDs.
Try these tasks without an account at JSON Repair and JSON to CSV. Those pages compute locally; headless MCP/API calls use the scoped key and quota described above.
Ask your agent to search for JSON tools, read json-schema with
get_capability, then invoke it with:
{
"tool": "json-schema",
"input": { "schema": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 1 }, "value": 2 },
"attemptId": "replace-with-a-fresh-uuid"
}A successful call returns valid: true, builtin: true, mode: "free-beta"
and a request ID. Without a configured key, invocation returns
missing_or_invalid_key without sending a request.
STDIO limits and verification
Run npm install and npm test in this standalone source repository. The InvokePort application's temporary-D1 integration suite is maintained separately. These connector tests make no production calls.
Search returns at most seven summaries. Get returns the selected schema/example.
Invoke takes {tool,input,attemptId}. The ID is not a credential: use a unique
16–128 character identifier per intended call. Reuse it only with exactly the
same input for manual reconciliation after an uncertain outcome. The server
never executes an already reserved attempt again and does not retain results.
Request JSON is limited to 128 KiB; HTTP responses to 512 KiB and 20 seconds; MCP input buffering to 256 KiB. Results above 32 KiB are explicitly omitted, with byte count/request ID, not silently truncated or fabricated. No local payload files are created. Native network error details and credential echoes are withheld. Redirects and paid states fail closed; resource URLs returned by the API are never followed. The configured origin remains a trusted boundary.
The repository includes tests for STDIO → HTTP → temporary D1, the metadata journal, replay protection, per-key quota, forbidden tools and revoked keys. Local fixture success does not establish adoption or mainnet settlement.
Implementation follows the official MCP server and MCP client v1 documentation, using pinned SDK 1.30.0. No sampling capability or model API is configured.

Scored across 3 tools
The three tools serve distinct roles in a clear workflow: search_capabilities finds available capabilities, get_capability retrieves their schemas/examples, and invoke_capability executes them. There is no overlap in purpose, and an agent can easily tell which tool to use at each step.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (search_capabilities, get_capability, invoke_capability). The minor pluralization difference in 'search_capabilities' does not break the pattern.
Three tools are well-scoped for a capability hub: they cover discovery, inspection, and execution without redundancy. The count is at the low end of the typical 3–15 range but is appropriate given the data-driven design where many capabilities share the same interface.
The surface covers the full lifecycle of a capability hub: search for capabilities, get their schemas and examples, and invoke them. No obvious gaps exist for the stated domain of JSON/data transformation capabilities, and agents can complete any advertised task end-to-end.
