tuskr-mcp-server

Implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Tuskr REST API

Built on the FastMCP Python SDK.
Supports access token authentication.

Installation

Environment variables / .env file

Set up environment variables or configure the .env file using the .env.example template.

The following environment variables are supported:

TUSKR_TENANT_ID=<your tenant id>
TUSKR_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your access token>

(this doc desc https://tuskr.app/kb/latest/api)

and optionally

MCP_TRANSPORT=<transport type: http or stdio>
MCP_HOST=<host for HTTP transport>
MCP_PORT=<port for HTTP transport>

Command Line Parameters

The MCP server supports the following command line parameters:

• --transport: Transport type for the MCP server. Options: http (default) or stdio
• --host: Host address for HTTP transport (default: 0.0.0.0)
• --port: Port number for HTTP transport (default: 8000)

Note: The --host and --port parameters are only applicable when using the http transport.

Default Values

• Transport: http (can be overridden with MCP_TRANSPORT environment variable)
• Host: 0.0.0.0 (can be overridden with MCP_HOST environment variable)
• Port: 8000 (can be overridden with MCP_PORT environment variable)

Connect from client

HTTP Transport (Default)

Use the following template to connect the server via HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tuskr": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "http://<your-mcp-dns-or-ip>/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your access token>",
        "Tenant-ID": "<your-tuskr-tenant-id>"
      }
    }
  }
}

The Authorization is mandatory.

The Tenant-ID is not required and can be set on the server side using the TUSKR_TENANT_ID env variable. It's convenient in case you have a single MCP Server for your organization.

Migrating from TUSKR_ACCOUNT_ID

Earlier versions of this server used the env var TUSKR_ACCOUNT_ID and the HTTP header Account-ID. These continue to work, but emit a deprecation warning. Tuskr's own documentation and UI consistently use the term "Tenant ID" (it is part of the REST URL path: /api/tenant/<tenant-id>/), so the preferred names are now TUSKR_TENANT_ID and the Tenant-ID HTTP header. Both names will be supported until a future major version removes the legacy names.

To migrate an existing config, replace TUSKR_ACCOUNT_ID with TUSKR_TENANT_ID; no other changes are required.

stdio Transport (for local development)

For local development and integration with tools like uvx, use the stdio transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tuskr": {
      "transport": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["tuskr-mcp-server", "--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

or use uv with source code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tuskr": {
      "transport": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/your/tuskr-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "src/main.py",
        "--transport",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Development

Setup

1. Clone repo
2. Install development dependencies: uv sync --dev
3. Create .env from .env.example

Running MCP service

HTTP Transport (Default)

uv run --env-file .env src/main.py

stdio Transport (for local development)

uv run --env-file .env src/main.py --transport stdio

Custom Host/Port

uv run --env-file .env src/main.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9000

Running tests

The project uses pytest for testing. The following command will run all tests

uv run pytest -vsx

Running linters

The project uses the ruff tool as a linter.

The following command allows to run linter

uv run ruff check

and this command allow to fix formatting

uv run ruff format

Dockerization

The following command allows to build a docker image

docker build -t tuskr-mcp .

and then you can run it using the

docker run -it tuskr-mcp
