MCP Server for Hanzo API
Readme
Platform MCP Server
Platform MCP Server exposes Platform functionalities as tools consumable via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows MCP-compatible clients (e.g., AI models, other applications) to interact with your Platform server programmatically.
This server focuses exclusively on tools for direct Platform API operations, providing a clean and efficient interface for project and application management.
🛠️ Getting Started
Requirements
- Node.js >= v18.0.0 (or Docker)
- Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or another MCP Client
- A running Platform server instance
Install in Cursor
Go to: Settings -> Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new global MCP server
Add this to your Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json file. You may also install in a specific project by creating .cursor/mcp.json in your project folder. See Cursor MCP docs for more info.

}Using Docker
The Docker container supports both stdio and HTTP transport modes, making it flexible for different deployment scenarios.
Build the Docker Image:
git clone https://github.com/hanzoai/platform.git cd platform-mcp docker build -t platform-mcp .Manual Docker Commands:
Stdio Mode (for MCP clients):
docker run -it --rm \ -e PLATFORM_URL=https://your-platform-server.com/api \ -e PLATFORM_API_KEY=your_token_here \ platform-mcpHTTP Mode (for web applications):
docker run -it --rm \ -p 8080:3000 \ -e MCP_TRANSPORT=http \ -e PLATFORM_URL=https://your-platform-server.com/api \ -e PLATFORM_API_KEY=your_token_here \ platform-mcpDocker Compose:
Use the provided
docker-compose.ymlfor production deployments:# Start HTTP service docker-compose up -d platform-mcp-http # View logs docker-compose logs -f platform-mcp-httpMCP Client Configuration:
For stdio mode (Claude Desktop, VS Code, etc.):
{ "mcpServers": { "platform-mcp": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "PLATFORM_URL=https://your-platform-server.com/api", "-e", "PLATFORM_API_KEY=your_token_here", "platform-mcp" ] } } }For HTTP mode (web applications):
Start the HTTP server first, then configure your client to connect to
http://localhost:3000/mcp.
Install in Windows
The configuration on Windows is slightly different compared to Linux or macOS. Use cmd as the command wrapper:
{
"mcpServers": {
"platform-mcp": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@hanzo/platform-mcp"],
"env": {
"PLATFORM_URL": "https://your-platform-server.com/api",
"PLATFORM_API_KEY": "your-platform-api-token"
}
}
}
}Environment Variables
PLATFORM_URL: Your Platform server API URL (required)PLATFORM_API_KEY: Your Platform API authentication token (required)
🚀 Transport Modes
This MCP server supports multiple transport modes to suit different use cases:
Stdio Mode (Default)
The default mode uses stdio for direct process communication, ideal for desktop applications and command-line usage.
# Run with stdio (default)
npx -y @hanzo/platform-mcp
# or
npm run start:stdioHTTP Mode (Streamable HTTP + Legacy SSE)
Modern HTTP mode exposes the server via HTTP/HTTPS supporting both modern and legacy protocols for maximum compatibility:
- Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26) - Modern protocol with session management
- Legacy SSE (MCP 2024-11-05) - Backwards compatibility for older clients
# Run with HTTP mode
npm run start:http
# or
npx -y @hanzo/platform-mcp --http
# or via environment variable
MCP_TRANSPORT=http npx -y @hanzo/platform-mcpModern Streamable HTTP Endpoints:
- POST /mcp - Client-to-server requests
- GET /mcp - Server-to-client notifications
- DELETE /mcp - Session termination
- GET /health - Health check endpoint
Legacy SSE Endpoints (Backwards Compatibility):
- GET /sse - SSE stream initialization
- POST /messages - Client message posting
Configuration:
- Internal port:
3000(fixed) - External port: configurable via
EXTERNAL_PORT(default:3000) - Supports both modern Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26) and legacy SSE (MCP 2024-11-05)
- Session management with automatic cleanup for both transport types
Client Compatibility:
Modern clients automatically use the Streamable HTTP endpoints, while legacy clients can connect using the SSE endpoints. The server handles both protocols simultaneously, ensuring compatibility with:
- Modern MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cline, etc.) → Use
/mcpendpoints - Legacy MCP clients → Use
/sseand/messagesendpoints - Custom integrations → Choose the appropriate protocol for your needs
For detailed transport mode documentation and client examples, refer to the configuration examples above.
