VectorStep Gateway MCP
An MCP server that exposes VectorStep Gateway — agent authoring and inspection — to MCP clients such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop.
What it is
A separate, standalone repository and process with no import-level dependency on the Gateway — the two are coupled only over HTTP, so each can be developed, versioned, and deployed independently.
It lets an MCP client create and edit agents (agent.yaml + soul.md, with the same validation the gateway itself uses), inspect what's available (configured MCP tool servers and their tools, configured LLM providers), and read gateway health/metrics. Pipelines/steps are not authored here — that's the job of the companion VectorStep-Service-MCP; the two have clean, non-overlapping tool sets.
Quick start
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .
CI runs this repo's test suite on every push and pull request
(.github/workflows/tests.yml).
Then register it with your MCP client, pointing at a running Gateway instance:
claude mcp add vectorstep-gateway \
--env GATEWAY_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18780 \
--env GATEWAY_OPERATOR_TOKEN=<your-operator-token> \
-- /absolute/path/to/VectorStep-Gateway-MCP/.venv/bin/python -m vectorstep_gateway_mcp
Full install, client config (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector), and tool inventory: MCP servers.
