mcp-sdk

The mcp-sdk is the official Radius MCP SDK designed to facilitate token-gating for Model Context Protocol tools, resources, and prompts. By using this server, you can efficiently manage access control to various models and resources, ensuring that only authorized users can interact with sensitive data and functionalities.

Once connected to the mcp-sdk, you can interact with it by sending specific commands to manage access tokens and resources. Although there are currently no tools documented within the SDK, you can leverage the SDK's capabilities to create, validate, and manage tokens effectively. For optimal results, focus on queries that involve token generation and validation as you explore the server's functionalities.

Prerequisites

Before installing the mcp-sdk, ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. You can check your Node.js installation by running:

node -v

Option A: Quick Start with npx

If you prefer a quick start without global installation, use npx to run the mcp-sdk directly:

npx -y @radiustechsystems/mcp-sdk

Option B: Global Install Alternative

For a global installation, you can install the mcp-sdk using npm:

npm install -g @radiustechsystems/mcp-sdk

When configuring the mcp-sdk, ensure you set the necessary environment variables related to your authentication and API endpoints. Additionally, be mindful of token expiration times and refresh mechanisms to avoid access issues during your development process. Common gotchas include overlooking required permissions for certain operations, so always verify your token scopes.
