moolre-mcp
Official# moolre-mcp (Node.js)
MCP server exposing Moolre's API — accounts, transfers, payments, SMS, WhatsApp — as 24 tools an AI agent can call. This is the Node.js port of the original PHP implementation (`mcp_php/mcp.php`); behavior is a 1:1 match, verified against it directly.
Built on the official `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` for protocol handling (JSON-RPC validation, session management, SSE framing) — Moolre-specific logic (the REST client and 24 tool definitions) is the only custom code.
## Requirements
- Node.js 18 or later (uses the built-in `fetch`; developed and tested on Node 22).
- `npm install` (pulls in `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`).
## Running locally (stdio — for MCP clients like Claude Code, Cursor)
```bash
node mcp.js
```
When run with a plain `node mcp.js` and no `PORT` env var, this reads/writes newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout — the shape an MCP client expects when it spawns the server as a subprocess, e.g. `"command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mcp.js"]` in the client's MCP config. See `CURSOR_SETUP.md` / `AGENT_SETUP.md` for full config examples.
## Running as a hosted HTTP server
```bash
PORT=3000 node mcp.js
```
Setting `PORT` (which most Node hosts — Render, Railway, Fly.io, etc. — inject automatically) switches this to the **Streamable HTTP** transport: a single endpoint handling
- `POST` — JSON-RPC messages (responds as plain JSON, or as an SSE-framed event if the client sends `Accept: text/event-stream`)
- `GET` — optional standalone SSE stream (used for server-initiated messages; this server has none to push, so it opens and immediately closes the stream — enough to satisfy clients that check for SSE support)
- `DELETE` — explicit session termination
Session IDs are issued on `initialize` via the `Mcp-Session-Id` response header (handled by the SDK's `StreamableHTTPServerTransport`), and required on every subsequent request via the same header. We keep one transport (and one connected MCP `Server` instance) per session in an in-memory `Map` — **if you ever run multiple instances behind a load balancer without sticky sessions, session lookups will fail against the wrong instance.** For a single hosted instance this isn't a concern.
To force HTTP mode without a `PORT` (rare), set `MCP_TRANSPORT=http` instead (defaults to port 3000).
## Environment variables
| Variable | Purpose | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| `X-API-USER` | Your Moolre username | every endpoint |
| `X-API-KEY` | Private API key | account/transfer/payment/list_transactions endpoints |
| `X-API-PUBKEY` | Public API key | `create_payment_id`, `create_bank_account_number`, `generate_payment_link`, `payment_status` |
| `X-API-VASKEY-SMS` | VASKEY for SMS endpoints | `send_sms`, `send_sms_get`, `sms_status`, `create_sender_id`, `sender_id_status`, `list_sender_ids`, `approve_sender_id`, `sms_account_status` |
| `X-API-VASKEY-WHATSAPP` | VASKEY for WhatsApp endpoints | `get_whatsapp_templates`, `send_whatsapp_message`, `whatsapp_message_status` |
| `accountnumber` | Your Moolre wallet account number | most endpoints (not `create_account`, and not SMS/WhatsApp endpoints) |
All of these are **fallbacks only** — if a tool call explicitly supplies `headers` or `accountnumber` in its arguments, that always takes precedence over the environment.
The single header Moolre actually receives is always `X-API-VASKEY` — the two env vars just let the server pick the right value automatically depending on which service (SMS vs WhatsApp) the tool being called talks to.
## Project structure
- `mcp.js` — REST client (`callRest`), the MCP `Server` wiring (`tools/list` / `tools/call` handlers), and both transports (stdio via `StdioServerTransport`, HTTP via `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` + a thin session-routing layer)
- `tools.js` — the 24 tool schemas and their REST-call configuration (method, path, default `type`, credential group)
## Testing
```bash
# stdio
printf '%s\n%s\n' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' \
| node mcp.js
# HTTP
PORT=3000 node mcp.js &
curl -s -i -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/ \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
```
Note: the SDK validates requests against the real MCP schema, so `initialize` needs a proper `clientInfo`/`capabilities` payload (real MCP clients already send this) — unlike the earlier hand-rolled version, bare `{"params":{}}` won't pass validation.
TDQS
Scored across 24 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, especially between payments, SMS, and WhatsApp. However, there is potential ambiguity among SMS-related tools (e.g., sender_id_status vs list_sender_ids, and send_sms vs send_sms_get) which could cause confusion. Descriptions help but still could be clearer.
Tool names predominantly follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_account, send_sms), but a few like account_status and sender_id_status use noun_status instead of a verb. This minor inconsistency lowers the score slightly.
With 24 tools covering payments, SMS, and WhatsApp, the count is slightly high but justified by the breadth of functionality. It remains manageable and each tool has a defined role.
Core operations are covered (create, read, update for accounts; send and check for SMS/WhatsApp), but there are notable gaps: no tool to update or delete sender IDs, no cancellation for transfers, and no listing of generated payment IDs or bank accounts. This may cause agent failures in some workflows.
