How to use
The Chapplin MCP server provides runtime tools for interacting with Chapplin-based services. It exposes functionality through its command-line interface and, if implemented, a set of API endpoints or in-app commands that enable you to manage configurations, monitor status, and trigger specific Chapplin workflows. Start the server to enable the available commands, then use the provided CLI or API surface to initialize or modify Chapplin components, run diagnostics, and view runtime logs. The exact tools available depend on the host repository’s implementation, but you can typically expect commands for configuration management, status checks, and action execution within the Chapplin ecosystem.
How to install
Prerequisites:
- Node.js (recommended LTS) and npm installed on your system.
- Access to the Chapplin repository (or a fork/clone of the project).
Installation steps:
-
Clone the repository or download the Chapplin package: git clone https://github.com/your-org/chapplin.git cd chapplin
-
Install dependencies: npm install
-
Build (if a build step exists): npm run build
-
Run the server: node packages/chapplin/index.js
-
Verify the server is running by checking the console output or visiting the configured health/status endpoint.
Notes:
- If the project provides a docker image, you can alternatively run via Docker per the repository’s instructions.
- If environment variables are required (for configs or secrets), set them in your environment before starting the server.
Additional notes
Environment variables:
- CHAPPLIN_CONFIG: Path or identifier for the Chapplin configuration. Optional if the server defaults are sufficient.
- CHAPPLIN_LOG_LEVEL: Logging verbosity (e.g., debug, info, warn, error).
Common issues:
- Dependency mismatches after npm install; consider running npm ci if a package-lock.json is present.
- If the server fails to start due to port in use, stop the conflicting service or configure the server to use a different port via CHAPPLIN_CONFIG or runtime options.
Configuration tips:
- Keep sensitive data out of code; use environment variables or a secure config file as recommended by the project.
- Review any provided sample config to understand required fields and defaults.
