🛠️ For Developers

Want to add more tools or customize the server? This repository contains the complete source code with a configuration-driven architecture.

Local Development

git clone https://github.com/AIGC-Hackers/a1d-mcp-server.git
cd a1d-mcp-server
npm install
npm run start

The local server will start on http://localhost:8787. You can test it with your API key by adding the api_key header to requests.

Adding New Tools

Simply edit src/config/tools.json to add new AI tools without writing code:

{
  "name": "new_tool",
  "description": "Tool description",
  "apiEndpoint": "/api/endpoint",
  "inputSchema": { /* ... */ },
  "zodValidation": { /* ... */ }
}

See docs/ADD_NEW_TOOL.md for detailed instructions.

🔐 Security

• User-provided credentials: This server expects users to provide their own A1D API keys via headers
• No stored secrets: All API keys are passed through request headers, nothing is stored server-side
• Report vulnerabilities: See SECURITY.md for responsible disclosure
