Stape MCP Server

Overview

The Stape MCP Server is a fully‑featured implementation of the Model Context Protocol that lets AI assistants such as Claude reach into Stape’s cloud platform to read, write, and manipulate data. By exposing Stape’s APIs through MCP, developers can turn a simple chat or code generation session into a powerful data‑driven workflow without writing custom integration code. The server authenticates with Stape using a bearer token and forwards every MCP request over HTTPS, ensuring that data stays within the secure boundaries of the Stape environment.

What problem does it solve?
Many AI assistants rely on static prompts or local tooling, which limits their ability to interact with real‑world data. The Stape MCP Server bridges that gap by providing a standardized, declarative interface for any Stape resource. Developers can now ask an assistant to fetch the latest sensor readings, update a database record, or trigger a machine‑learning job—all through natural language commands that are translated into well‑defined MCP tools.

Key features and capabilities

• Resource discovery – The server automatically lists all available Stape resources (databases, queues, functions) as MCP tools.
• Fine‑grained authorization – Each request carries the Stape API key, so access is scoped to the caller’s permissions.
• Tool chaining – MCP allows a single assistant response to invoke multiple tools; the Stape server supports this out of the box, enabling complex pipelines such as “read data → transform → store.”
• Caching and retry logic – The underlying wrapper handles transient network failures, giving assistants a resilient experience.
• Developer‑friendly configuration – Integration with Claude Desktop is as simple as editing a JSON file; no server deployment or proxy setup is required.

Use cases and real‑world scenarios

• Data analytics: A data scientist can ask Claude to pull the latest sales figures from Stape, run an aggregation, and return a visual summary.
• DevOps automation: Operations teams can trigger Stape functions that restart services or scale containers directly from a chat.
• IoT management: Engineers can query sensor logs, update firmware schedules, or alert on thresholds without leaving the assistant.
• Knowledge base updates: Content editors can push new articles to a Stape‑hosted knowledge base through natural language commands.

Integration with AI workflows
The server plugs into any MCP‑compatible client, so it works seamlessly with Claude Desktop, Cursor AI, or custom-built assistants. Once the server is registered in the client’s configuration, every tool call becomes a single HTTP request to Stape. This eliminates the need for custom SDKs, reduces latency by keeping data in a single hop, and keeps security centralized through the Stape API key.

Unique advantages
Unlike generic HTTP adapters, the Stape MCP Server automatically generates a rich tool schema from the platform’s API surface. This means developers get instant, type‑safe access to all Stape services without manually writing tool definitions. Additionally, because it uses the same command‑line wrapper that many developers already trust, setting up and maintaining the server is lightweight, making it an attractive choice for teams that want instant AI‑powered access to their Stape data and services.
