BDT Ops Desk

Founder ops assistant for BDT Talent Group — Amazon Developer Hackathon 2026 (Alexa+ track + AWS Builder mini-challenge).

Self-hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP (protocol 2025-11-25 via @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) plus a simulated Alexa+ web chat for demos without Preview access.

Tools

Related MCP server: SecondBrain MCP Server

Quick start

cd bdt-ops-desk
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm test
npm run build
npm start

Dev (hot reload):

npm run dev

Open the simulated Alexa+ UI: http://127.0.0.1:3000/

MCP endpoint: POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp

Optional env

See .env.example:

• MCP_AUTH_TOKEN — when set, require Authorization: Bearer … (401 without WWW-Authenticate)

• GITHUB_TOKEN + GITHUB_REPOS — live hygiene; otherwise fixtures

• AWS default credential chain + AWS_REGION / BEDROCK_MODEL_ID — live Bedrock; otherwise mock brief

Do not commit secrets. Prefer IAM roles in deployed environments.

Demo: curl initialize + tools/list

# Initialize (stateless JSON response)
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-11-25' \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id":1,
    "method":"initialize",
    "params":{
      "protocolVersion":"2025-11-25",
      "capabilities":{},
      "clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0.0.1"}
    }
  }'

# tools/list
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-11-25' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

If MCP_AUTH_TOKEN is set, add -H "Authorization: Bearer $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN" to both calls.

Alexa+ track notes

1. This repo imports and runs @modelcontextprotocol/sdk at runtime (StreamableHTTPServerTransport).

2. Transport is Streamable HTTP on POST /mcp (not legacy standalone HTTP+SSE).

3. Simulated UI proves the agent loop without Alexa+ Preview.

4. Later registration (when you have Preview): use the Alexa+ MCP Toolkit / alexa-ai CLI to add an Add-on Agent Skill pointed at your public HTTPS MCP URL, with Bearer token matching MCP_AUTH_TOKEN.

5. Phase 2: OAuth 2.1 / PRM for production account linking (out of scope for v1).

• Dockerfile included for ECS / Fargate / AgentCore-ready container packaging

• Document IAM: bedrock:InvokeModel on the chosen model ID; no long-lived keys in the repo
