@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.

Tools

Every account gets 100 free credits/month. All calls debit the same credit ledger as the Textify REST API and website — one balance, one accounting.

TEXTIFY_API_KEY is required — tool calls that cost credits authenticate with it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Get a free key (100 credits/month) at https://textify.me/account.

Configuration

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)
