Kosli MCPサーバー

Kosli MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Kosli API to LLM clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.).

[!WARNING] This server is in beta. Tool names, parameters, and behaviour may change between releases. If you need stability, pin a version — e.g. npx -y @kosli/mcp-server@0.4.0 instead of npx -y @kosli/mcp-server.

Rather than hand-coding a tool per endpoint, the server ships a catalog generated from Kosli's OpenAPI spec and exposes three generic tools:

• search_actions — fuzzy-search the catalog for relevant API actions by natural-language query.
• execute_read_action — invoke any GET action by ID (read-only, auto-allowed by MCP clients).
• execute_write_action — invoke any POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE action by ID (requires approval in MCP clients — see the caution under Usage).

This keeps the tool surface small and lets the catalog stay in sync with the Kosli API by regenerating. MCP clients use the tool annotations to auto-allow reads while gating writes behind user approval.

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 22
• A Kosli API token

Install & build

npm install
npm run build

Configure

The server reads configuration from environment variables:

Variable	Required	Default	Notes
KOSLI_API_TOKEN	yes	—	Preferred. KOSLI_API_KEY is accepted as a fallback.
KOSLI_BASE_URL	no	https://app.kosli.com	EU (default), US (https://app.us.kosli.com), or your single-tenant endpoint.

Wire up to an MCP client

Claude Code

Run this from your project directory (or use --scope user for global):

claude mcp add kosli \
  -e KOSLI_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -- npx -y @kosli/mcp-server

Claude Desktop (Desktop Extension)

Download the latest .mcpb file from Releases, then drag it into Claude Desktop or double-click to install. Claude Desktop will prompt you for your API token. This is the recommended method for Claude Desktop as secrets are stored in the OS keychain rather than in a plain-text config file.

[!NOTE] When installing from a .mcpb file, Claude Desktop shows a warning that the extension has not been verified by Anthropic. This is expected for any extension installed from a file rather than from the built-in directory. Sideloaded extensions also do not auto-update — you'll need to download and reinstall new versions manually. Both of these limitations go away once the extension is listed in Anthropic's Connectors Directory.

To check that a downloaded bundle was built from this repository by its release workflow, verify its build provenance with the GitHub CLI:

gh attestation verify kosli-mcp-server-<version>.mcpb --repo kosli-dev/mcp-server

Each release also attaches kosli-mcp-server-<version>.cdx.json, a CycloneDX SBOM listing every package bundled in the .mcpb, so you can check a release against new vulnerability advisories.

The attached file itself is not signed. The signed copy is the one attested against the bundle: verifying it proves that this SBOM was published for the exact .mcpb you downloaded. Read that copy rather than the attached file when it matters:

gh attestation verify kosli-mcp-server-<version>.mcpb --repo kosli-dev/mcp-server \
  --predicate-type https://cyclonedx.org/bom --format json \
  | jq '.[0].verificationResult.statement.predicate' > sbom.cdx.json

The npm package has no SBOM: it ships no lockfile, so npm resolves its dependencies on each install.

Claude Desktop (manual)

Alternatively, add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config). This method auto-updates via npx on each restart, but stores secrets in plain text:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kosli/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "KOSLI_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

The server communicates over stdio. Point any MCP-compatible client at the package via npx -y @kosli/mcp-server and set the KOSLI_API_TOKEN environment variable.

Local checkout

If you're running from a local checkout instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosli": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KOSLI_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

Typical LLM flow:

1. Call search_actions with a natural-language query (e.g. "list environments") to discover action IDs and their parameter schemas.
2. Call execute_read_action (for GET actions) or execute_write_action (for POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) with the chosen actionId and a params object.

[!IMPORTANT] execute_write_action creates, modifies, and deletes real resources in your Kosli organization. MCP clients gate these calls behind an approval prompt — read the action ID and parameters before approving. An LLM may select the wrong action, or the right action with the wrong parameters, and approval is the only checkpoint before the call is made. Treat deletions and anything touching service accounts or API keys with particular care.

For GET/DELETE, non-path params become query parameters; for other methods they become the JSON body.

Naming the organization

Both execute tools take an org, so one running server reaches any organization your token has access to:

{ "actionId": "list_environments", "org": "cyber-dojo", "fields": ["name"] }

It is required for every action whose path contains {org}, which is all but a few of them. There is no configured default: a call that names no org is refused rather than sent to one nobody chose.

KOSLI_ORG used to supply that default and has been removed. A config that still sets it starts fine, the value is ignored, and the server says so on stderr.

An org can also arrive as params.org. The two must agree: two different names are rejected rather than resolved, since the same tools perform writes.

A write's request body may not name any of the action's own parameters, org included. Such a field would overwrite what you supplied and send the request somewhere else, while the approval prompt still showed your value.

The org must be one name, given as a non-empty string. Anything else is rejected rather than coerced, because coercing invents a name: ["cyber-dojo", "kosli-public"] would request the org cyber-dojo,kosli-public.

A few actions are not organization-scoped: get_user_default_org, list_system_attestation_types, the four /schemas/... actions, and the five *_personal_api_key(s) actions that manage the authenticated user's own API keys. Passing an org to one of those is rejected rather than ignored.

An org your token cannot reach returns the usual error object with the API's status, 403 for both a non-member and a non-existent org. Kosli staff accounts can read any org, so a successful read does not prove a write would be allowed.

Both execute tools accept an optional fields array to request only specific top-level fields from each object in the response. This dramatically reduces response size and token usage:

{
  "actionId": "get_snapshot_snapshots__org___env_name___snapshot_expression__get",
  "params": { "env_name": "prod-aws", "snapshot_expression": "-1" },
  "fields": ["name", "compliant", "fingerprint", "reasons_for_incompliance"]
}

Regenerate the catalog

src/catalog.json is committed and bundled into the build. Refresh it from the live OpenAPI spec with:

npm run generate-catalog
