Overview

This MCP server provides 27 comprehensive tools for interacting with the Ambient Code Platform, enabling:

• Session Management: List, create, delete, restart, clone sessions
• Label Management: Tag and organize sessions with custom labels
• Bulk Operations: Efficiently manage multiple sessions at once
• Advanced Filtering: Filter by status, age, display name, labels, and more
• Debugging: Retrieve logs, transcripts, and metrics
• Cluster Management: Multi-cluster support with easy switching
• Safety First: Dry-run mode on all mutating operations

Security: This server implements comprehensive security measures including input validation, command injection prevention, timeout controls, and resource limits. See SECURITY.md for details.

Installation

From PyPI (when published)

From Source

git clone https://github.com/ambient-code/mcp
pip install dist/mcp_acp-*.whl

Requirements:

• Python 3.10+
• OpenShift CLI (oc) installed and in PATH
• Access to an OpenShift cluster with ACP

See QUICKSTART.md for detailed installation instructions.

---

Configuration

1. Create Cluster Configuration

Create ~/.config/acp/clusters.yaml:

clusters:
  vteam-stage:
    server: https://api.vteam-stage.xxxx.p3.openshiftapps.com:443
    description: "V-Team Staging Environment"
    default_project: jeder-workspace

  vteam-prod:
    server: https://api.vteam-prod.xxxx.p3.openshiftapps.com:443
    description: "V-Team Production"
    default_project: jeder-workspace

default_cluster: vteam-stage

2. Configure MCP Client

For Claude Desktop, edit your configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the ACP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acp": {
      "command": "mcp-acp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "ACP_CLUSTER_CONFIG": "${HOME}/.config/acp/clusters.yaml"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Authenticate with OpenShift

oc login --server=https://api.your-cluster.example.com:443

Note: Direct OpenShift CLI authentication is required for testing until the frontend API is available (tracked in PR #558).

Architecture

The server is built using:

• MCP SDK: Standard MCP protocol implementation
• OpenShift CLI: Underlying oc commands for ACP operations
• Async I/O: Non-blocking operations for performance
• YAML Configuration: Flexible cluster management

See CLAUDE.md for complete system design.

---

Security

This server implements defense-in-depth security:

• Input Validation: DNS-1123 format validation for all resource names
• Command Injection Prevention: Secure subprocess execution (never shell=True)
• Resource Exhaustion Protection: Timeouts and limits on all operations
• Secure Temporary Files: Random prefixes, 0600 permissions
• Path Traversal Prevention: Configuration and workflow file validation
• Resource Type Whitelist: Only agenticsession, pods, event resources
• Sensitive Data Filtering: Tokens/passwords removed from logs

See SECURITY.md for complete security documentation.
