Model Context Protocol (MCP) API

For practical examples of how to use the MCP, see the support documentation.

Setup​

1. Create an API key​

Start by creating an API key in Simplicate that allows use by Simplicate AI-tooling. Go to Settings → API keys → Add. Make sure to enable the MCP usage checkbox.

caution

Handle API keys carefully. Keys enable modifications to your environment.

2. Determine your endpoint​

The MCP API is available at:

https://<your-simplicate-domain>.mcp.simplicate.app/mcp

Replace <your-simplicate-domain> with your Simplicate environment domain.

3. Authentication​

The token consists of an API-key and API-secret. Combine them with a : to get your authentication token: {API-key}:{API-secret}. For example: 1234567890:0987654321.

Use this token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Client configuration​

Example mcp.json​

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simplicate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://<your-simplicate-domain>.mcp.simplicate.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${AUTH_TOKEN}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_TOKEN": "<your-api-key>:<your-api-secret>"
      }
    }
  }
}
