@textifyme/mcp

Local (stdio) shim for the hosted Textify MCP server — turn anything into text from any MCP client. It bridges a local command-style MCP config to the hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.textify.me/mcp, with your API key pre-wired.

Prefer a remote connector? If your client supports remote MCP servers directly (Claude.ai "Add custom connector"), just add https://mcp.textify.me/mcp — you don't need this package. This shim exists for clients that only accept a local command.

Configuration

Default

Purpose

TEXTIFY_API_KEY

—

API key; sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Required for credit-costing tools.

TEXTIFY_MCP_URL

https://mcp.textify.me/mcp

Endpoint override. Set to http://localhost:8788/mcp to test against a local wrangler dev.

Extra CLI args are forwarded to the underlying mcp-remote bridge (e.g. --debug).

How it works

The shim is a thin wrapper: it resolves the bundled mcp-remote proxy and launches it against the Textify endpoint with your auth header attached, then pipes MCP over stdio. No Textify credentials are stored on disk by this package; the key lives only in your client's env.

Local development

# in this package dir
npm install
TEXTIFY_MCP_URL=http://localhost:8788/mcp TEXTIFY_API_KEY=sk_test node bin/textify-mcp.mjs
# (run `pnpm --filter @app/mcp run dev` in the Textify monorepo to serve localhost:8788)

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
