README
techzone-mcp
MCP server for IBM Technology Zone: manage your reservations end-to-end and search the TechZone catalog from Claude. Every state-changing tool describes itself as such so Claude confirms with you before calling; cancellation additionally requires echoing the reservation's exact name.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
whoami() |
Validates your token, returns your TechZone profile |
list_reservations() |
All reservations: status, environment, dates (no credentials) |
get_reservation(id) |
Full detail for one reservation, incl. access info |
check_expiring(days) |
Active reservations ending within N days (default 3) |
search_catalog(term) |
Search environments/collections in the catalog |
get_catalog_entry(kind, name) |
Detail for one catalog entry |
search_collections(term) |
Search reservable TechZone collections by name |
get_collection(id) |
Deployment options (platforms/regions) for a collection |
extend_reservation(id, days) |
Write: extend a reservation's end date by N days |
create_reservation(collection_id, name, ...) |
Write: reserve an environment from a collection |
cancel_reservation(id, confirm_name) |
Destructive: delete a reservation (name must match) |
Plus two resources: techzone://reservations (live reservation summary) and
techzone://reservation/{id} (full detail for one reservation).
Setup
- Get your API token: techzone.ibm.com → My Profile → API token.
- Install and register with Claude Code:
uv sync
claude mcp add techzone --env TECHZONE_API_TOKEN=<your-token> -- uv --directory /path/to/techzone-mcp run techzone-mcp
(Or put TECHZONE_API_TOKEN=<your-token> in a .env file in this directory —
it is gitignored.)
TechZone tokens expire periodically; when the server reports a 401, grab a fresh token from My Profile.
Development
uv sync
uv run pytest # unit tests (mocked, no live API)
uv run python walkthrough.py # interactive live walkthrough of every tool
The walkthrough steps through all 11 tools against the real API: read-only
steps run on Enter, write steps are skipped unless you type yes, and
sensitive service-link values are redacted from output.
API endpoints are undocumented publicly; they were derived from the
open-source itzcli and
verified live. See PLAN.md for design notes.
