Getting Started

Option 1: NPX (Recommended for Local Deployment)

Add the following to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration:

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "isActive": true,
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cls-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRANSPORT": "stdio",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID": "<YOUR_SECRET_ID>",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>",
        "TZ": "Asia/Shanghai"
      }
    }
  }
}

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add "TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST": "internal.tencentcloudapi.com" to env.

Option 2: Self-hosted Streamable HTTP Mode

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

This server runs Streamable HTTP in stateless mode — each request is independent, which makes it suitable for containerized deployments and horizontal scaling.

Create a .env file in the current directory:

TRANSPORT=http
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npx -y cls-mcp-server@latest

Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Self-hosted SSE Mode

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

Create a .env file in the current directory:

TRANSPORT=sse
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npx -y cls-mcp-server@latest

Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "sse",
      "isActive": true,
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Option 4: Install from Source

Prerequisites: Install Node.js (LTS version recommended) and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

Clone the repository and build:

git clone <repository-url>
cd cls-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Stdio Mode — Add the following to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "isActive": true,
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/cls-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRANSPORT": "stdio",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID": "<YOUR_SECRET_ID>",
        "TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY": "<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>",
        "TZ": "Asia/Shanghai"
      }
    }
  }
}

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add "TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST": "internal.tencentcloudapi.com" to env.

Streamable HTTP Mode — Create a .env file in the project root:

TRANSPORT=http
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npm run start

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

SSE Mode — Create a .env file in the project root:

TRANSPORT=sse
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID>
TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>
# Uncomment the following line if deploying within a Tencent Cloud VPC
# TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com
PORT=3000
TZ=Asia/Shanghai

Start the server:

npm run start

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "sse",
      "isActive": true,
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Option 5: Docker Deployment

Prerequisites: Install Docker and obtain Tencent Cloud SecretId and SecretKey.

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t cls-mcp-server .

Run the container (Streamable HTTP mode, default):

To deploy within a Tencent Cloud VPC, add -e TENCENTCLOUD_API_BASE_HOST=internal.tencentcloudapi.com.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID=<YOUR_SECRET_ID> \
  -e TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY> \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  --name cls-mcp-server \
  cls-mcp-server

To run the SSE transport instead, add -e TRANSPORT=sse and point the client at /sse with "type": "sse".

Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cls-mcp-server": {
      "name": "cls-mcp-server",
      "type": "http",
      "isActive": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
