Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Graphlit Platform

Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server enables integration between MCP clients and the Graphlit service. This document outlines the setup process and provides a basic example of using the client.

Ingest anything from Slack, Discord, websites, Google Drive, email, Jira, Linear or GitHub into a Graphlit project - and then search and retrieve relevant knowledge within an MCP client like Cursor, Windsurf, Goose or Cline.

Your Graphlit project acts as a searchable, and RAG-ready knowledge base across all your developer and product management tools.

Documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, etc.) and HTML web pages will be extracted to Markdown upon ingestion. Audio and video files will be transcribed upon ingestion.

Web crawling and web search are built-in as MCP tools, with no need to integrate other tools like Firecrawl, Exa, etc. separately.

You can read more about the MCP Server use cases and features on our blog.

Watch our latest YouTube video on using the Graphlit MCP Server with the Goose MCP client.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Node.js installed on your system (recommended version 18.x or higher).
• An active account on the Graphlit Platform with access to the API settings dashboard.

Configuration

The Graphlit MCP Server supports environment variables to be set for authentication and configuration:

• GRAPHLIT_ENVIRONMENT_ID: Your environment ID.
• GRAPHLIT_ORGANIZATION_ID: Your organization ID.
• GRAPHLIT_JWT_SECRET: Your JWT secret for signing the JWT token.

You can find these values in the API settings dashboard on the Graphlit Platform.

Installation

Installing via VS Code

For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below:

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).

Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

Note that the mcp key is not needed in the .vscode/mcp.json file.
