VectorStep Service MCP

An MCP server that exposes VectorStep — pipeline authoring, run inspection, and analytics — 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 VectorStep — the two are coupled only over HTTP, so each can be developed, versioned, and deployed independently.

It lets an MCP client create and edit pipelines and step-library definitions (with the same validation VectorStep itself uses), inspect runs and steps, answer operational and quality questions, and trigger runs or submit human feedback. Agents are not authored here — that's the job of the companion VectorStep-Gateway-MCP; this server may only read agents, to help author pipelines that reference them.

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 VectorStep instance. VectorStep requires a credential on every route (SPEC-auth-and-roles.md) — VECTORSTEP_TOKEN must be an admin-role token from that instance's auth.tokens config, since this server authors pipelines and steps:

claude mcp add vectorstep-service \
  --env VECTORSTEP_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
  --env VECTORSTEP_TOKEN=<an admin-role token> \
  -- /absolute/path/to/VectorStep-Service-MCP/.venv/bin/python -m vectorstep_service_mcp

VECTORSTEP_WEBHOOK_TOKEN is a deprecated alias for VECTORSTEP_TOKEN, kept as a fallback so an existing deployment doesn't break silently — set VECTORSTEP_TOKEN in new configs.

Full install, client config (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector), and tool inventory: MCP servers.
