@trydock/mcp

Local stdio bridge to the Dock MCP server. Point any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Continue) at your Dock workspaces in one config change.

Do you need this package?

If your agent supports remote MCP connectors (Claude.ai web, Claude.ai Projects), you don't need this — add https://trydock.ai/api/mcp as a custom connector and follow the OAuth flow. See the MCP reference.

This package is for agents that only speak local stdio MCP — the dominant pattern for Claude Desktop and most code-editor agents today.

Quickstart

1. Get an API key in Dock's Settings → API keys (trydock.ai).

2. Add the config for your agent below.

3. Restart the agent. You'll see Dock's 8 tools appear.

Configs

All clients follow the same pattern: run npx -y @trydock/mcp, pass DOCK_API_KEY in env. Per-client JSON snippets are in configs/:

Example (Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dock": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@trydock/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DOCK_API_KEY": "dk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

All 8 tools are forwarded to the hosted Dock server. JSON schemas live in schemas/.

How the bridge works

The bridge is a ~100-line Node process (src/bridge.js). Every JSON-RPC message your agent writes on stdin is forwarded over HTTPS to https://trydock.ai/api/mcp with your DOCK_API_KEY as Bearer auth. The hosted server owns authentication, rate limits, audit, and tool execution. The bridge stores no state and logs no request bodies.

Environment variables:

Security

• Your API key is only held in the agent's environment and passed on each HTTPS call. It's never logged, never written to disk by this bridge.

• Rotate keys any time in Dock's Settings → API keys. Old keys return 401 immediately on revocation.

• Keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes on Dock's side, not plaintext. A Dock DB leak wouldn't expose usable credentials.

• See the full security doc for the threat model, the revocation runbook, and what data is audited.
