Hosted at https://mcp.datpaq.com/ — also installable locally and self-hostable.

datpaq-mcp-http exposes the Datpaq API as MCP tools over streamable HTTP, so any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Continue, agent frameworks) can call Datpaq endpoints with a single connection.

For the local CLI (and the stdio MCP that ships with it for Claude Desktop), see github.com/datpaq/cli.

Connect

URL	https://mcp.datpaq.com/
Transport	streamable HTTP
Auth	Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY (per request)
Tools	34 hosted tools across 13 active APIs

Verify with curl:

curl -s -X POST https://mcp.datpaq.com/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0"}}}'

Auth model: every request must present a Datpaq API key as Authorization: Bearer <key> — the server holds no credentials of its own, so a single instance can serve many tenants, each billed against their own Datpaq account.

Configure your client

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datpaq": {
      "url": "https://mcp.datpaq.com/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or project .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datpaq": {
      "url": "https://mcp.datpaq.com/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI:

export DATPAQ_API_KEY="YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY"
codex mcp add datpaq --url https://mcp.datpaq.com/ --bearer-token-env-var DATPAQ_API_KEY

Codex TOML:

[mcp_servers.datpaq]
url = "https://mcp.datpaq.com/"
bearer_token_env_var = "YOUR_DATPAQ_API_KEY"

For full step-by-step instructions per client (including Cline and Continue), see the Datpaq MCP docs.

Self-host

Install via Go:

go install github.com/datpaq/mcp/cmd/datpaq-mcp-http@latest

Requires Go 1.26.3+.

Or pull the Docker image:

docker build -t datpaq-mcp-http -f cmd/datpaq-mcp-http/Dockerfile .
docker run -p 8080:8080 datpaq-mcp-http

Run it:

datpaq-mcp-http --addr :8080

Then point an MCP client at http://localhost:8080/.

Ships with a Fly.io config for one-command deploys:

fly launch --config fly.toml
fly deploy

No secrets to configure — clients authenticate per request.

What's exposed

The server registers one MCP tool per active Datpaq API endpoint. The active set is curated in internal/cli/active-apis.json — add a slug there when a new API ships on datpaq.com, redeploy, and the tool appears for every connected client.

Inactive APIs are scrubbed entirely from the MCP surface (unlike the CLI, which still lets you invoke them directly). This keeps the hosted tool list focused on production-ready endpoints.

Tools that depend on local state or shell-out to the user's machine (auth flows, config writers, etc.) are deliberately not registered — see internal/mcp/public_tools.go.

Configuration

Variable	Purpose
DATPAQ_BASE_URL	Override the API base URL (default: https://datpaq.com/api/v1) — handy for pointing at staging
PORT	HTTP listen port (default: 8080, also configurable via --addr)

The Datpaq API key is not a server-side variable. Each request must include it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. See the Quickstart auth model.

Managing active APIs

The active set is curated in internal/cli/active-apis.json. The CLI repo is the canonical place to regenerate that manifest from the admin dashboard export (or, in Phase 2, GET /api/v1/catalog/active). This repo receives updates via sync — it does not ship its own fetch tooling.

{
  "active": [
    "convert-time",
    "ip-geolocation",
    "..."
  ]
}

Canonical workflow (sibling checkout at ../CLI):

# In the CLI repo
cd ../CLI
make fetch-active-apis CATALOG_INPUT=./export.json   # or CATALOG_URL=... after Phase 2
make sync-active-apis                                 # CLI → MCP

# Then here
make build && make test
# commit internal/cli/active-apis.json + code changes, deploy

If you edited active-apis.json in this repo by mistake, push it back to CLI with ./scripts/sync-active-apis.sh (MCP → CLI only). Prefer the CLI-first flow above for normal updates.
