sciple-mcp 0.6.3

MCP server for populating and managing Sciple platform content

Sciple Platform MCP Server

MCP server that lets a local Claude populate and manage Sciple platform content — environments, services, observability dashboards, runbooks, projects, and tickets — via the Sciple REST API. Engineers use it to bootstrap tenant structure, maintain the service catalog, build dashboards, author runbooks, and triage tickets without leaving their AI coding session.

Distribution channels:

Install

# Install uv (one-time, only if you don't have it)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

uvx sciple-mcp resolves the latest version from PyPI and caches it.

Two ways to authenticate

sciple-mcp accepts two credential styles against the same Bearer machinery. Pick by transport:

Transport	Auth	When to use
stdio — uvx sciple-mcp spawned per session	Personal Access Token (sciple_pat_…) in env	Simplest. Claude Desktop's default MCP model.
HTTP — long-running sciple-mcp serve	OAuth-issued JWT (browser dance)	Multi-client. Claude Code + any other HTTP-aware MCP client share the same server. Refresh tokens, revocation, Connected apps.

Stdio + PAT (default)

The server reads three env vars; the PAT is minted under Profile → Access tokens:

SCIPLE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000/api/v1
SCIPLE_API_TOKEN=sciple_pat_...
SCIPLE_TENANT_ID=<your tenant id>

Wire into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sciple-platform": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sciple-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCIPLE_API_URL": "http://localhost:8000/api/v1",
        "SCIPLE_API_TOKEN": "sciple_pat_...",
        "SCIPLE_TENANT_ID": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

The PAT is single-tenant — its bound tenant must equal SCIPLE_TENANT_ID. The Sciple dashboard renders this exact JSON block (with SCIPLE_API_URL and SCIPLE_TENANT_ID pre-filled) on Profile → Access tokens.

HTTP + OAuth (v0.6.0)

Five CLI subcommands ship the full lifecycle:

# 1. Authenticate via browser. DCR-registers a client on first run, drives
#    the PKCE dance, caches the tokens to ~/.sciple/credentials.json (0600).
#
# By default, the resulting JWT inherits ALL permissions you hold on the
# tenant — same role as you. Pass --scope only if you want to down-scope
# (CI bots, shared tooling).
sciple-mcp login --tenant-id <your tenant id>

# 2. Start the HTTP MCP server. Accepts OAuth JWTs as Bearer on /mcp.
sciple-mcp serve --port 8765

# 3. (macOS) make `serve` start at user login via launchd.
sciple-mcp install

# 4. One-shot token retrieval — refreshes if within 120s of expiry.
sciple-mcp print-token

# 5. Forget cached credentials. --revoke also kills the refresh server-side.
sciple-mcp logout --revoke

Wire Claude Code / any HTTP-aware MCP client at the server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sciple-platform": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8765/mcp",
      "auth": "oauth"
    }
  }
}

The MCP client discovers the AS via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource on the running sciple-mcp serve and drives its own browser dance. The user can also revoke access at any time from Profile → Connected apps on the dashboard.

Security

The server can only do what the PAT's scope allows. Attempts to write without the relevant manage permission return a 403 from the API and are surfaced as an error in Claude's response. The PAT is revocable at any time from Profile → Access tokens in the Sciple dashboard — revoking it immediately cuts off the server's access without any config change.

Development

To work on the server itself:

git clone https://github.com/navaganeshr/sciple-mcp
cd sciple-mcp
uv sync --all-groups
uv run python -m pytest -q

Releases are tag-driven via a GitHub Actions workflow using PyPI Trusted Publishing (OIDC). To cut a release:

1. Bump version in pyproject.toml.
2. Commit, then git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z.
3. Approve the pypi environment deployment in the Actions UI.
