About
MCP server for the Apolo platform
README
apolo-mcp is a local stdio Model Context Protocol server for typed Apolo platform
operations. It is a thin adapter over apolo-sdk: it never shells out to the CLI and
uses the configured Apolo identity, permissions, and defaults. Local sessions normally
come from apolo login; isolated jobs may use APOLO_PASSED_CONFIG.
The server exposes bounded context discovery and typed platform operations. Every
operational tool accepts explicit cluster, org, and project inputs where the
SDK supports them; explicit inputs never modify the user's saved context. Secret
values and one-time credentials are intentionally outside the model-visible interface.
Installation
Follow the installation and client configuration guide for prerequisites, server and skill installation, Codex and Claude Code registration, per-session policy selection, and verification. Local stdio is the only supported transport; shared-credential remote service operation is unsupported.
See the Apolo MCP documentation for prerequisites, safety controls, the capability matrix, generated tools and skills catalogs, and task-oriented guides.

Dependencies are locked with uv.lock. Tests use an ApoloClientProvider fake and do
not require credentials. Integration tests, when added, must be opt-in and target an
isolated non-production project.
Wheel and source-distribution files are generated release artifacts and must not be
committed. Tagged releases build them in CI and publish the exact outputs to PyPI via
Trusted Publishing; local dist/ contents are disposable. Maintainers should follow
RELEASE.md for changelog, validation, signing, and publication.
Release versions use YY.MM.NN: the two-digit year, the month without a leading zero,
and a zero-based release sequence within that month. For example, v26.7.0 is the
first July 2026 release, and its Python package version is 26.7.0.
Safety configuration
The server defaults to APOLO_MCP_POLICY_MODE=read-only. Use managed to create
resources and manage only their exact journaled lifecycles, or full to permit
mutations of any exact-context resource. Policy never grants Apolo permissions or
replaces Apolo RBAC, and it is not a security boundary against an agent with direct
CLI or SDK access. Never run full with a personal administrator, owner, or other
broadly privileged Apolo account. Use a dedicated least-privileged service account
and follow the full-mode service-account guide.
Select policy per launch rather than permanently storing managed or full; the
installation guide contains the client-specific configuration. Read the generated
safety model before enabling writes, and consult the
capability matrix for the complete current contract.
