• Token Management: All tools accept a maxTokens parameter (100–20000, default 5000) to control response size

HTTP/SSE Transport Mode

In addition to the default stdio transport, the server supports an HTTP transport for use as a remote or shared MCP endpoint.

Starting the HTTP Server

# Using the npm script (defaults: localhost:3000)
npm run start:http

# Using the built binary directly with custom options
node dist/index.js --transport http --port 8080 --host 127.0.0.1

CLI Arguments

Argument	Default	Description
--transport	stdio	Transport mode: stdio or http
--port	3000	Port to listen on (1–65535)
--host	127.0.0.1	Host to bind to

Security note: The default host 127.0.0.1 restricts access to localhost only. Binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes the server to the network; only do this in controlled environments.

HTTP Endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Description
/mcp	POST	MCP JSON-RPC endpoint (streamable HTTP transport)
/health	GET	Health check — returns {"status":"ok","version":"<current>"}

Connecting an MCP Client via HTTP

Claude Desktop or other MCP clients that support HTTP transport can connect with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jamf-docs": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

CORS Configuration

By default the server does not set CORS headers (cross-origin requests are blocked). To allow specific origins, set the CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable:

CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://myapp.example.com node dist/index.js --transport http

Multiple origins are separated by commas.

Rate Limiting

The HTTP server applies per-IP token-bucket rate limiting. The default is 60 requests per minute. Override with the RATE_LIMIT_RPM environment variable.

Configuration

All settings are optional. Set them as environment variables before launching the server.

Cache Settings

Variable	Default	Range	Description
CACHE_DIR	.cache	—	Cache directory (relative paths must stay within the project; sensitive system paths are rejected)
CACHE_TTL_SEARCH	1800000 (30 min)	1 min–30 days	TTL for search result cache entries
CACHE_TTL_ARTICLE	86400000 (24 hr)	1 min–30 days	TTL for article content cache entries
CACHE_TTL_PRODUCTS	604800000 (7 days)	1 min–30 days	TTL for product list cache entries
CACHE_TTL_TOC	86400000 (24 hr)	1 min–30 days	TTL for table of contents cache entries
CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES	500	10–10000	Maximum number of entries kept in the in-memory cache

Request Settings

Variable	Default	Range	Description

MAX_RETRIES	3	0–10	Number of retry attempts on failure
RETRY_DELAY	1000	100–30000 ms	Delay between retries
RATE_LIMIT_DELAY	500	0–10000 ms	Delay between outbound requests (politeness)
