Paperclip MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for Paperclip.

This package is a thin MCP wrapper over the existing Paperclip REST API. It does not talk to the database directly and it does not reimplement business logic.

Authentication

The server reads its configuration from environment variables:

PAPERCLIP_API_URL - Paperclip base URL, for example http://localhost:3100
PAPERCLIP_API_KEY - bearer token used for /api requests
PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID - optional default company for company-scoped tools
PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID - optional default agent for checkout helpers
PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID - optional run id forwarded on mutating requests

Usage

npx -y @paperclipai/mcp-server

Or locally in this repo:

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/mcp-server build
node packages/mcp-server/dist/stdio.js

Escape hatch:

paperclipApiRequest

paperclipApiRequest is limited to paths under /api and JSON bodies. It is meant for endpoints that do not yet have a dedicated MCP tool.
