Pathrule Remote MCP

Pathrule Remote MCP exposes Pathrule workspace memory, rules, skills, setup, snapshots, and activity logging over the Model Context Protocol.

Public endpoint:

https://mcp.pathrule.io/mcp

Registry manifest:

https://mcp.pathrule.io/server.json

What It Does

Pathrule gives AI coding agents path-scoped project context. The remote MCP server lets cloud MCP clients use the same Pathrule workspace data without installing Pathrule Desktop or the local CLI on the client host.

Remote MCP is intentionally cloud-only. It can read and write Pathrule cloud records, but it cannot read local files, install hooks, render AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md, or materialize local skills. For those local runtime features, use Pathrule Desktop or @pathrule/cli.

Using Pathrule Remote MCP

Pathrule Remote MCP is the MCP endpoint for Pathrule Web workspaces. It is not a general-purpose hosted memory service that works without Pathrule.

To use it:

1. Create or sign in to a Pathrule account:

https://app.pathrule.io

2. Create or select a Pathrule workspace in the app.

3. Connect your MCP client to:

https://mcp.pathrule.io/mcp

When an MCP client connects, it starts an OAuth flow through Pathrule Web. After approval, the client can access only the Pathrule workspaces visible to that signed-in account, using the scopes you approved.

This repository is the public source and directory listing target for Pathrule's Remote MCP endpoint. It is not a standalone local memory database, and it does not create a usable Pathrule workspace without a Pathrule account.

• pathrule_resolve_refresh
• pathrule_log_activity
• pathrule_get_local_runtime_upgrade

Security Model

• OAuth scopes decide the tool surface. Read tools require pathrule:read; write tools require pathrule:write; refresh/activity tools require pathrule:activity.
• Every workspace operation runs through the authenticated user's Supabase JWT and database RLS policies.
• The connector does not use Supabase admin keys to widen user access.
• Write tools are also gated by workspace subscription status and per-user/per-workspace rate limits.
• MCP event telemetry is metadata-only: tool name, user/workspace/client identifiers, status/error code, and latency bucket. Tool input and content bodies are not logged.
• The remote server never accesses the user's filesystem and never writes local companion files.

Operator Notes

The mcp.pathrule.io service is operated by Pathrule. The environment variables below are for Pathrule operators deploying the service against Pathrule's backend. They are not required to connect an MCP client to Pathrule Remote MCP.

Required production secrets are environment variables only. Do not commit values for:

SUPABASE_URL
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET
PATHRULE_CONNECTOR_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY
PATHRULE_CONNECTOR_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY_VERSION
PATHRULE_CONNECTOR_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_PREVIOUS_KEYS
PATHRULE_WEB_ORIGIN

SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET is used to sign short-lived authenticated-role user JWTs for Supabase RLS. Treat it like production infrastructure secret material and store it only in the hosting provider's secret manager.

Running The Server

The public pathrule/mcp repository is staged from the Pathrule monorepo and contains a bundled Node.js server for transparency and deployment reproducibility. Running it yourself requires the environment variables above and Pathrule's compatible backend; it is not the recommended user setup path.

npm install
npm start

The server listens on PORT and HOST:

PORT=8787
HOST=0.0.0.0

Health and metadata:

curl -fsS http://localhost:8787/healthz
curl -fsS http://localhost:8787/server.json

Registry Inspection

The public repository includes a Dockerfile for MCP registry scanners such as Glama. The container sets PATHRULE_MCP_PUBLIC_INTROSPECTION=1, which exposes MCP schema introspection without a bearer token so registries can verify the server shape.

That mode does not grant Pathrule data access. Tool calls still require an authenticated Pathrule context and return auth errors without OAuth.

Glama's Docker build runner launches MCP servers through stdio. Use this command in Glama's Dockerfile admin form:

["node", "dist/glama-stdio.js"]
