MCP -API-Tools

ITSM_MCP_Server is a demonstration MCP (Model Context Protocol) server intended to showcase basic MCP capabilities in an ITSM-like context. It exposes a minimal set of MCP endpoints that clients can connect to, query context, and invoke simple operations typical of service management workflows. Use it to test MCP clients, validate context propagation, and experiment with request/response patterns in a controlled demo environment. The server is designed to be lightweight and easy to run locally for development and testing purposes. You can connect your MCP-enabled tooling to the ITSM_MCP_Server endpoint and observe how context data is carried across requests, how events are propagated, and how basic actions can be modeled within the MCP framework.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (version 14+ recommended)
• Basic familiarity with running Node-based servers

1. Clone or download the repository containing the MCP-API-Tools server:

   git clone <repository-url> cd <repository-directory>

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Configure environment (optional):

   • You can set NODE_ENV to production for a production-oriented run:

     export NODE_ENV=production

4. Run the server:

   npm start

5. Verify the server is running by checking the console output or hitting the MCP client against the configured endpoint (default is the path used in your server.js). If you need to customize the entry point, modify path/to/server.js accordingly in the mcp_config above.

Notes:

• This repository appears to be a demonstration setup. Adjust the server entry point (path/to/server.js) in the mcp_config to match your actual server script.
• Ensure that any required environment variables defined by your MCP server implementation are provided (e.g., authentication tokens, endpoints, or feature flags).
• If you migrate from the demo to a production environment, consider adding proper logging, error handling, and access controls.
• Some MCP clients may expect a specific MCP version; ensure compatibility between the server and client implementations.
