Capawesome

Capawesome MCP Server

The official MCP server for Capawesome. It gives AI assistants the current Capawesome documentation — plugins, Capawesome Cloud, Capawesome Insiders and the CLI — and, with an API token, the Capawesome Cloud management API for apps, channels, builds, deployments and more.

Maintained by Capawesome.

Endpoint

The server is hosted and ready to use:

https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp

The documentation tools need no account and no token. The Capawesome Cloud tools are only available when the request carries an API token — see Authentication.

Installation

Claude Code

For the documentation tools, no token is needed:

claude mcp add --transport http capawesome https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp

To add the Capawesome Cloud tools, pass your API token as a bearer header and select the toolsets:

claude mcp add --transport http capawesome "https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp?toolsets=all" \  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor

[Install in Cursor]

Or add .cursor/mcp.json to your project:

{  "mcpServers": {    "capawesome": {      "url": "https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp"    }  }}

VS Code

Install in VS Code

Or add .vscode/mcp.json to your project:

{  "servers": {    "capawesome": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp"    }  }}

Windsurf

Add the server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "capawesome": {      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp"    }  }}

Zed

Add the server to your Zed settings.json:

{  "context_servers": {    "capawesome": {      "url": "https://mcp.capawesome.io/mcp"    }  }}

Any client via npx

Clients that cannot connect to a remote server over HTTP can run this package, which proxies stdio to the hosted server:

{  "mcpServers": {    "capawesome": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@capawesome/mcp"],      "env": {        "CAPAWESOME_TOKEN": "your-token"      }    }  }}

Requires Node.js 22 or later. Omit env to use the documentation tools only.

Authentication

Create an API token in the Capawesome Cloud Console and pass it to the server.

When connecting over HTTP, send it as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header. When running this package, set the CAPAWESOME_TOKEN environment variable and the proxy sends the header for you.

Without a token, only the documentation tools are registered — the Capawesome Cloud tools are absent, not merely hidden.

Configuration

These environment variables configure the proxy. They apply to this package only; over HTTP, use the equivalent header and query parameters.

Tools

The server exposes the documentation tools (search_docs, get_doc_page, list_blog_posts) plus the cloud_* tools for the Capawesome Cloud management API, grouped into toolsets.

See the MCP documentation for the full tool and toolset reference.

Rate limits

The endpoint is limited to 100 requests per minute per IP. Requests over the limit are answered with 429 Too Many Requests; retry after a short wait.

Privacy

Your IP address is processed for rate limiting only. Queries and tool arguments are not stored, not logged beyond Cloudflare's standard edge logs, and never used for training. Your API token is used to authenticate against the Capawesome Cloud API on your behalf and is not stored by the server. See the Privacy Policy for details.

CAPAWESOME_MCP_URL=http://localhost:8787/mcp node dist/index.js

Release

Releases are managed by release-please. Merging its release pull request tags the version, publishes the package to npm and then publishes server.json to the MCP Registry. The version in server.json is bumped by release-please together with package.json, so it never has to be edited by hand. To publish to the registry manually, install mcp-publisher, run mcp-publisher login dns --domain=capawesome.io --private-key=<key> with the Ed25519 private key from the password manager and then mcp-publisher publish.
