AMPERA Mission Control — MCP server

Connect your Claude Desktop / Cowork to AMPERA Mission Control so Claude can read and write your org data (initiatives, tasks, risks, decisions, procurements, your scan-state / today / pending-review queue, and more) — scoped to your role.

A thin, read-it-yourself client: it just calls the Mission Control REST API with your personal API key. No secrets live in here — you supply your key via env.

You must be on the Ampera office network or VPN. Mission Control is internal-only (missioncontrol.amperaglobal.com resolves to a private address).

This runs alongside the ServiceDesk MCP — add it as a second entry; both stay connected.

Prerequisites

• Node 18+ (Node 22 recommended). Claude Desktop does not bundle Node — install it on your laptop.

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/javierchira-amp/ampera-mission-control-mcp.git
cd ampera-mission-control-mcp
npm install

Note the full path to index.mjs in this folder — you'll need it below (pwd on macOS/Linux, cd shows it on Windows).

2. Get your API key

In Mission Control: AI Assistant (sidebar) → Generate API Key → copy the amc_… value (shown once).

3. Add it to your Claude config

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add an entry under mcpServers. Use node + the absolute path to index.mjs — this is the form that reliably works on both Windows and macOS (a bare command name often isn't found by Claude's launcher).

Windows (escape backslashes as \\):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ampera-mission-control": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\YOU\\ampera-mission-control-mcp\\index.mjs"],
      "env": {
        "MISSION_CONTROL_URL": "https://missioncontrol.amperaglobal.com",
        "MISSION_CONTROL_API_KEY": "amc_paste-your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS / Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ampera-mission-control": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/you/ampera-mission-control-mcp/index.mjs"],
      "env": {
        "MISSION_CONTROL_URL": "https://missioncontrol.amperaglobal.com",
        "MISSION_CONTROL_API_KEY": "amc_paste-your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers (e.g. ServiceDesk), add ampera-mission-control as a sibling key inside the same mcpServers object.

If Claude can't find node (rare on Windows, common with nvm on macOS): use the absolute path to node instead of "node" — find it with where node (Windows) or which node (macOS/Linux).

4. Restart & use

Fully quit Claude — on Windows that means right-click the system-tray icon → Quit (closing the window just minimizes it). Reopen and start a new conversation. The AI Assistant page shows "Connected via Cowork" after the first call.

Try: "What's my Mission Control scan state?" · "Log a decision: …" · "File a risk: … severity 3, likelihood 4" · or run the mc:morning-scan prompt.

Troubleshooting

• "Server disconnected" right away → check the log: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-ampera-mission-control.log (Windows) or ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-ampera-mission-control.log (macOS).
  • spawn … ENOENT → wrong command/path; use node + the absolute index.mjs path as above.
  • Cannot find module '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk' → run npm install in this folder.
  • … env vars are required → the env block isn't reaching it; check your JSON.
• Verify manually (it should print ampera-mission-control MCP ready (...) then hang):

  MISSION_CONTROL_URL=https://missioncontrol.amperaglobal.com MISSION_CONTROL_API_KEY=amc_… node index.mjs
  

• Tool calls fail but it connects → you're likely off the VPN/office network, or your key was revoked.

What's exposed

• 45 tools — reads (dashboard, tasks, initiatives, procurements, risks, scan-state, today, pending-reviews, people/projects/glossary lookups, org search, briefing) and role-scoped writes incl. full create/update for tasks (priority, assignee, tags, subtasks, blockers + bulk updates), initiatives, projects, procurements, vendors, people, decisions, risks, and glossary.
• 7 prompts — mc:morning-scan, log-decision, triage-reviews, initiative-status, weekly-briefing, end-of-day, migrate-from-cowork.
• 3 resources — mission-control://guide, mission-control://me, mission-control://glossary.

Everything is enforced server-side by your role. Revoke a key anytime on the AI Assistant page.
