ActionForge MCP server

Publishes an ActionForge account's tools to any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or anything else speaking the Model Context Protocol.

ActionForge turns a description and a pair of JSON Schemas into a hosted API endpoint. You describe the function you need; it generates the implementation, deploys it as a serverless function, and returns a validated URL. Every tool is a pure function of its input — generated code is scanned before deploy and refused if it reaches the network or executes code built at runtime.

This package is the MCP bridge: your endpoints become tools Claude can call directly. It has no runtime dependencies — stdio, fetch, and about 500 lines.

Get an API key at pritas.github.io/actionforge_ui.

The mapping is close to one-to-one, which is why this wrapper is thin: an ActionForge tool already is an MCP tool — a name, a description, a JSON Schema for input, and one for output. tools/list reads GET /api/tools; tools/call posts to the tool's proxy URL.

Implemented directly against the 2025-06-18 protocol schema rather than via the SDK. That keeps the install to a single package with nothing beneath it, and every branch stays exercisable offline — npm run smoke drives the compiled server over stdio against a closed port, so the handshake, the silence expected of a notification, and transport-failure handling are all checked without an account.

Install

npx actionforge-mcp

Zero runtime dependencies — the whole server is stdio, fetch, and about 500 lines. Nothing to install beyond Node 20.12+.

From a checkout of this repo instead:

npm install
npm run build
node dist/server.js

Configure

export ACTIONFORGE_URL=https://your-deployment.example.com
export ACTIONFORGE_API_KEY=af_...        # from POST /api/signup, or npm run keygen
npx actionforge-mcp

Everything published is scoped to that key's account. Point it at a different key and it publishes a different tenant's tools — the API enforces the scoping, so the MCP server cannot see past it.

Transport is stdio with newline-delimited JSON. stdout carries protocol frames only; all logging goes to stderr, because anything else corrupts the stream a client is parsing.

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "actionforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "actionforge-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ACTIONFORGE_URL": "https://your-deployment.example.com",
        "ACTIONFORGE_API_KEY": "af_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add actionforge \
  --env ACTIONFORGE_URL=https://your-deployment.example.com \
  --env ACTIONFORGE_API_KEY=af_... \
  -- npx -y actionforge-mcp

How failures are reported

The protocol draws a line this server follows exactly, because it decides whether a model can recover on its own:

Anything the model could act on stays inside the result where it can see it. Only genuinely exceptional conditions become protocol errors.

Caching

The tool list is cached for 30 seconds, and the cache is dropped immediately when a tool turns out to be gone — so a deleted tool disappears on the next listing rather than lingering until the TTL expires.

Publishing

npm run build && npm run smoke
npm publish --access public

dist/ is gitignored — it is a build artifact, rebuilt by prepublishOnly, so what npm receives is always compiled from the committed source.

Bump version before each publish; npm refuses to overwrite a released version.
