MCP to SLOP Adapter

A lightweight adapter that connects MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients like Claude Desktop with any SLOP (Simple Language Open Protocol) compatible server.

What is MCP and SLOP?

• MCP (Model Context Protocol): A proprietary protocol developed by Anthropic that enables AI models to access tools and resources. Learn more about MCP.
• SLOP (Simple Language Open Protocol): A simple open-source REST-based pattern for AI APIs with 5 basic endpoints. Learn more about SLOP or join the SLOP Discord community.

Features

This adapter bridges MCP and SLOP by:

• Converting MCP tool requests to SLOP API calls
• Exposing SLOP resources as MCP resources
• Providing MCP tools for SLOP-specific endpoints (chat, memory, pay)
• Handling error conversion between protocols

Installation & Usage

Using npx

You can run the adapter directly using npx:

npx @kortexa-ai/mcp-slop-adapter http://your-slop-server-url

Global Installation

npm install -g @kortexa-ai/mcp-slop-adapter
mcp-slop-adapter http://your-slop-server-url

Configuring Claude Desktop

To connect Claude Desktop with a SLOP server:

1. Make sure your SLOP server is running
2. Edit Claude Desktop’s configuration file:
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
3. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-slop-adapter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@kortexa-ai/mcp-slop-adapter",
        "http://your-slop-server-url"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace http://your-slop-server-url with the URL of your SLOP server.

Debugging

You can use the MCP Inspector to connect to the adapter and inspect your SLOP server.
