SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables a standardized MCP server that lets external AI clients securely communicate with Minds AI across HTTP and stdio transports, supporting persona tooling, authentication flows, and tool execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HTTP transport at /mcp for stateless JSON-RPC interactions with external clients
  • stdio transport for Claude Desktop and Cursor integrations
  • OAuth 2.1 + PKCE and API key authentication with rate limiting and circuit breakers
  • Tool framework for creating, listing, and using Sparks (AI personas) and panels
  • Observability and safety features including auditing, metrics, and circuit breaker resilience

Quick Start

Start the MCP server locally and connect an external AI client to the /mcp endpoint using the configured transports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Claude Desktop to an MCP server using stdio transport?

You can connect Claude Desktop to an MCP server using stdio transport for direct integrations. This setup allows external AI clients to securely communicate with Minds AI and utilize persona tooling.

What is the Model Context Protocol and when do I need HTTP transport?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes communication between AI clients and servers. You need HTTP transport at the /mcp endpoint for stateless JSON-RPC interactions with external clients over the web.

Does MCP support OAuth 2.1 and API key authentication?

Yes, MCP supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and API key authentication. These schemes secure tool execution and external client connections while enforcing rate limiting and circuit breaker resilience.

How do I debug MCP protocol issues and configure external AI clients?

You can debug MCP protocol issues by utilizing built-in observability and safety features. Configure external AI clients by connecting them to the /mcp endpoint using the documented HTTP and stdio transport options.

What are the limitations of using stdio transport compared to HTTP for MCP?

Stdio transport limits connections to local integrations like Claude Desktop and Cursor, while HTTP transport enables stateless JSON-RPC interactions with external clients across the network using the /mcp endpoint.
