Hookbase Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Hookbase webhook relay API as tools for AI assistants like Claude.

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

Get your API key from the Hookbase dashboard under Settings → API Keys.

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hookbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hookbase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "HOOKBASE_API_KEY": "whr_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server. You can now ask Claude to manage your webhooks!

Alternative Installation

npm install -g @hookbase/mcp-server

Then use in Claude Desktop config:

    "hookbase": {
      "command": "hookbase-mcp",
      "env": {
        "HOOKBASE_API_KEY": "whr_live_your_key_here"
      }
