pacedloop-mcp-server

Standalone MCP server for the hosted PacedLoop API.

This package is for users who want PacedLoop tools inside an MCP-capable client without running the full PacedLoop app locally.

What users need

• a PacedLoop account
• a PacedLoop API token
• Node.js 18+ installed locally

Hosted default:

https://www.pacedloop.com

What it exposes

• workflow CRUD
• run list, detail, start, advance, and repair
• analytics overview
• step analytics
• recent-run analytics

Quick start

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Set environment variables:

export PACEDLOOP_BASE_URL=https://www.pacedloop.com
export PACEDLOOP_API_TOKEN=your_pacedloop_token

PowerShell:

$env:PACEDLOOP_BASE_URL="https://www.pacedloop.com"
$env:PACEDLOOP_API_TOKEN="your_pacedloop_token"

4. Start the server:

npm start

OpenClaw / NemoClaw setup

Use this process definition in your MCP client configuration:

Command:

npm

Args:

start

Working directory:

/path/to/pacedloop-mcp-server

Environment:

PACEDLOOP_BASE_URL=https://www.pacedloop.com
PACEDLOOP_API_TOKEN=your_pacedloop_token

If your MCP client supports launching a script directly, use:

Command:

node

Args:

/path/to/pacedloop-mcp-server/bin/pacedloop-mcp-server.mjs

Example OpenClaw-style config

OpenClaw/NemoClaw config shapes can vary by version, but this is the command block you want to represent:

{
  "command": "npm",
  "args": ["start"],
  "cwd": "/path/to/pacedloop-mcp-server",
  "env": {
    "PACEDLOOP_BASE_URL": "https://www.pacedloop.com",
    "PACEDLOOP_API_TOKEN": "your_pacedloop_token"
  }
}

If your OpenClaw build expects direct script execution, use:

{
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["/path/to/pacedloop-mcp-server/bin/pacedloop-mcp-server.mjs"],
  "env": {
    "PACEDLOOP_BASE_URL": "https://www.pacedloop.com",
    "PACEDLOOP_API_TOKEN": "your_pacedloop_token"
  }
}

Publish as its own GitHub repo

From the parent directory:

cd pacedloop-mcp-server
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial standalone PacedLoop MCP server"

Then create a new GitHub repository and push:

git remote add origin git@github.com:YOUR_ORG_OR_USER/pacedloop-mcp-server.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Notes

• The server uses stdio and MCP JSON-RPC framing.
• The token is sent as a Bearer token to the PacedLoop API.
• Keep the API token on the local machine running the MCP client.
• This package is a thin adapter over the hosted PacedLoop backend, not a standalone workflow engine.
