Get started
Follow these steps to get started:
- After clone run
npm install - Start application in development mode by
npm start.
That’s all you need. 😉
Known issues
- If you’re using
npx mcp/serverfor invoking the mcp server, the first call will take a long time. The follow up calls will be faster because of cache. Currently there is no loading indicator. - I’m currently using deprecated mastra memory (
import { Memory } from "@mastra/memory";), I need to follow the instructions to migrate. - When you add/change your openapi key, it does not get propagated. You need to restart the application.
- Currently only stdio mcp servers are supported SSE+Streaming HTTP will be added later.
