rigosis-smax-mcp

MCP server for OpenText SMAX: work with EMS records (Incidents, Requests, Changes, People, Devices, custom types), comments, and attachments from any MCP client. Fifteen generic tools including live schema discovery (describe_entity, list_entity_types) and warn-first write validation.

rigosis-smax-mcp is developed and licensed by Rigosis for integration with OpenText™ Service Management software, formerly known as SMAX. It is not an OpenText product.

Requirements

  • uv (provides uvx; installs its own Python)
  • A SMAX user with the "Access OData API" role and a Personal Access Token (Service Portal → Personal Access Tokens), or username/password.

Quick setup (recommended)

uvx --from rigosis-smax-mcp smax-mcp-setup

An interactive wizard: asks for your connection details, tests them live against your tenant, writes the Claude Desktop config for you (backing up any existing file), and prints ready-to-paste snippets for every other MCP client. If it ends with a green checkmark, you're done — the sections below are the manual alternative.

Verify your setup first

uvx --from rigosis-smax-mcp smax-mcp-verify

This checks configuration and authenticates against your tenant before you wire up any client. It reads the environment variables below (a .env file found from the working directory upward also works).

Configuration

Variable Meaning
SMAX_MCP_BASE_URL e.g. https://smax.example.com (required)
SMAX_MCP_TENANT_ID numeric tenant id (required)
SMAX_MCP_USERNAME Service Portal login (required)
SMAX_MCP_PAT Personal Access Token — recommended; paired with the username that created it
SMAX_MCP_PASSWORD alternative to PAT: password auth (JWT fetched automatically)
SMAX_MCP_VERIFY_SSL default true
SMAX_MCP_CA_BUNDLE CA bundle path for private CAs
SMAX_MCP_READ_ONLY true registers only read tools (default false)
SMAX_MCP_ATTACHMENTS_DIR sandbox directory for attachment upload/download (required for attachment tools)
SMAX_MCP_MAX_ATTACHMENT_MB default 10
SMAX_MCP_SKIP_SCHEMA_CHECK true disables the warn-only pre-write schema check

Use a least-privilege SMAX integration account — every tool acts as that one configured user.

Connect an MCP client

The server speaks MCP over stdio. Generic client configuration:

  • command: uvx
  • args: ["--from", "rigosis-smax-mcp", "smax-mcp"]
  • environment: the variables above

Claude Code:

claude mcp add smax \
  --env SMAX_MCP_BASE_URL=https://smax.example.com \
  --env SMAX_MCP_TENANT_ID=123456789 \
  --env SMAX_MCP_USERNAME=integration.user \
  --env SMAX_MCP_PAT=your-token \
  --env SMAX_MCP_ATTACHMENTS_DIR=/path/to/attachments \
  -- uvx --from rigosis-smax-mcp smax-mcp

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "rigosis-smax-mcp", "smax-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SMAX_MCP_BASE_URL": "https://smax.example.com",
        "SMAX_MCP_TENANT_ID": "123456789",
        "SMAX_MCP_USERNAME": "integration.user",
        "SMAX_MCP_PAT": "your-token",
        "SMAX_MCP_ATTACHMENTS_DIR": "C:\\smax-attachments"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windows note: SMAX_MCP_ATTACHMENTS_DIR takes a normal Windows path; create the directory before first use.

In a session, call whoami first as a connectivity smoke test.
