Actionstep MCP Server

This project is a starter TypeScript implementation of an MCP server for Actionstep-style conveyancing automation. It exposes a small set of example tools and includes a simple HTTP health endpoint for local testing.

Project overview

The current implementation provides:

• A basic Express HTTP server
• A health check endpoint at /health
• An MCP server with two example tools:
  • ping
  • list_conveyancing_actions

Tech stack

• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Express
• Model Context Protocol SDK
• Zod
• dotenv

Folder structure

• src/ – application source code
• dist/ – compiled JavaScript output
• package.json – scripts and dependencies
• tsconfig.json – TypeScript compiler configuration

Installation

From the project root, install dependencies:

npm install

Build

Compile the TypeScript source:

npm run build

Run

Start the server:

npm start

Or run the build and start flow directly:

npm run dev

Health check

Once running, the server responds at:

http://localhost:3000/health

Next steps

This starter project is intended as a foundation for a production-ready Actionstep MCP server. Suggested next steps include:

• Connecting the tools to the real Actionstep API
• Adding OAuth 2.0 authentication and token refresh
• Expanding the tool registry for matters, documents, tasks, and settlement workflows
• Adding secure secret storage and audit logging
