@a83/orbiter-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing an Orbiter pod's content as tools for AI agents — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Tools

| Tool | Params | Description | |---|---|---| | list_collections | — | List accessible collections with entry counts | | get_entries | collection, status?, locale?, limit?, offset? | List entries in a collection | | get_entry | collection, slug, locale? | Fetch a single entry with full body | | search_content | collection?, query, limit? | Substring search over title/excerpt/body |

stdio (local — Claude Desktop)

Full access to all collections and statuses; no auth needed, same trust level as running orbiter-admin locally.

      "command": "orbiter-mcp",
      "env": { "ORBITER_POD": "/absolute/path/to/content.pod" }
    }
  }
}

Or run directly: ORBITER_POD=/path/to/content.pod orbiter-mcp

HTTP (remote)

orbiter-mcp --http --port 4500

Carries the same restrictions as the Public Content API: requires a Bearer API key (Settings → API Keys, only enforced if api.requireKey is on) and only exposes collections opted into public.collections, status: 'published' only. Endpoint: POST http://host:4500/mcp. Health check: GET /health.

Env vars

• ORBITER_POD — path to the .pod file (auto-detected if a single *.pod file sits in the current directory)
• PORT — HTTP port (default 4500, only used with --http)
• ORBITER_NO_TELEMETRY=1 — disable the anonymous startup ping
