Ventless Fireplace Review MCP Server

This project provides a read-only Model Context Protocol server for Ventless Fireplace Review. It reads the site’s public WordPress REST API and exposes published fireplace guides, pages, and editorial resources to MCP-compatible clients.

Capabilities

The server intentionally exposes no WordPress write, authentication, publishing, editing, deletion, payment, or account-management operations.

Requirements and setup

Use Node.js 20 or later. Install dependencies with:

pnpm install

Check connectivity to the live site:

npm run inspect

Start the stdio MCP server:

npm start

The default site is https://ventlessfireplacereview.com. To point the server at another WordPress site, set WP_BASE_URL before starting it. REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS and USER_AGENT are also configurable.

Example MCP client configuration

For a local MCP client, use an absolute path to the project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ventless-fireplace-review": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/ventless-fireplace-mcp/server.mjs"],
      "env": {
        "WP_BASE_URL": "https://ventlessfireplacereview.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Safety and provenance

All returned content is fetched from public website endpoints and includes source URLs where applicable. The server does not independently verify fireplace safety, installation requirements, building codes, product specifications, or current manufacturer instructions. MCP clients should treat the content as educational, verify consequential claims against current primary sources, and consult qualified professionals for installation, gas, combustion, electrical, code, and safety decisions.

Testing

Run the live health check and the end-to-end MCP protocol test:

npm run inspect
node test-client.mjs
