@openserp/mcp

Model Context Protocol server for OpenSERP OSS and OpenSERP Cloud. It gives MCP clients search, image search, URL extraction, usage, and engine metadata tools.

When OPENSERP_API_KEY is not set, the server uses OSS mode at http://localhost:7000 and writes:

[openserp-mcp] No OPENSERP_API_KEY set - using OSS mode at http://localhost:7000.
[openserp-mcp] Get an API key: https://openserp.org/dashboard/keys
[openserp-mcp] Docs: https://openserp.org/docs | Issues: https://github.com/openserpapi/mcp/issues

Set OPENSERP_API_KEY to use OpenSERP Cloud. API keys are available at https://openserp.org/dashboard/keys. Set OPENSERP_BASE_URL to target another compatible OpenSERP API base URL.

Install

npm install -g @openserp/mcp

You can also run it without installing:

npx -y @openserp/mcp --stdio

Claude Desktop

Local OSS mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openserp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openserp/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cloud mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openserp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openserp/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENSERP_API_KEY": "osk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

For stdio use, add an MCP server entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openserp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openserp/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENSERP_API_KEY": "osk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

For remote-style HTTP use, run:

npx -y @openserp/mcp --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3333

Then point a streamable HTTP MCP client to:

http://127.0.0.1:3333/mcp

Clients that still use the older SSE transport can connect to:

http://127.0.0.1:3333/sse

Environment
