WorkspaceAlberta MCP

Stdio bridge for the hosted WorkspaceAlberta procurement MCP endpoint.

This package is for MCP clients that expect a local command transport. It starts mcp-remote and connects it to the hosted WorkspaceAlberta StreamableHTTP endpoint.

MCP client config (published package)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workspacealberta": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@warreandvavasour/workspace-alberta"]
    }
  }
}

MCP client config (works today, via public mcp-remote)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workspacealberta": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

No local Cohere key is required for the hosted endpoint. Model-backed tender analysis runs server-side when available.

Override the endpoint

WORKSPACEALBERTA_MCP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp npx -y @warreandvavasour/workspace-alberta

Or pass a URL as the first argument:

npx -y @warreandvavasour/workspace-alberta http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp

Native HTTP clients

If your MCP client supports StreamableHTTP directly, use the hosted endpoint without this package:

https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp

Fallback if the front domain is ever unreachable: https://workspacealberta-983058968342.northamerica-northeast1.run.app/mcp

Publishing checklist (maintainers)

The package is verified with npm pack --dry-run (3 files, ~1.7 kB tarball) and node bin/workspace-alberta.js --help. Two ways to publish:

Via GitHub Actions (preferred): .github/workflows/publish-npm.yml already exists — add an npm automation token with publish rights on the @warreandvavasour scope as the workflow's NODE_AUTH_TOKEN secret, then run the workflow from the Actions tab (it supports a dry-run input) or publish a GitHub release.

Locally:

1. npm login as an owner of the @warreandvavasour npm scope (create the org at npmjs.com if it does not exist yet — scope name must match exactly).
2. From this directory: npm publish (publishConfig.access is already public, so no extra flag is needed).
3. Verify: npx -y @warreandvavasour/workspace-alberta --help.

After publishing, remove the "not yet published" note at the top of this README and the matching caveat in mcp-servers/canadabuys/README.md. Version bumps: npm version patch|minor here, then republish.
