About
MCP server for the ScalePad platform, enabling access to Core, Lifecycle Manager, ControlMap, Backup Radar, and Quoter tools with dual-era protocol support.
README
MCP server for the ScalePad platform — Core, Lifecycle Manager, ControlMap, Backup Radar, and Quoter — built natively on the MCP SDK v2 (2026-07-28 spec) with dual-era serving: the same endpoint answers both legacy 2025-era initialize-handshake clients and modern envelope clients.
Architecture
Flat tool surface: every tool is exposed upfront in tools/list for universal client compatibility. Navigation tools are discovery aids, not gates.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
scalepad_navigate |
Describe a product domain's tools (core, lifecycle-manager, controlmap, backup-radar, quoter) — a help/discovery aid, not a prerequisite |
scalepad_status |
Show credential status and available domains |
Product domains
| Domain | Tool prefix | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
core |
scalepad_core_ |
Unified platform data (read-only, US-only): clients, contacts, members, sites, opportunities, hardware/SaaS assets, product catalog, service contracts, tickets, integrations |
lifecycle-manager |
scalepad_lm_ |
Engagement/roadmap workflows: initiatives, goals, meetings, action items, assessments, deliverables, budgets, contracts, workspace |
controlmap |
scalepad_cm_ |
Compliance per client: risks, controls, evidence, policies, frameworks, assessments, action items (regions: us, eu, ca, au) |
backup-radar |
scalepad_br_ |
Read-only backup health and backup device inventory (regions: us, eu) |
quoter |
scalepad_quoter_ |
Quotes, catalog, contacts, suppliers, and standalone-OAuth helpers (defaults to the ScalePad-hosted Quoter API) |
All tools are callable at any time; scalepad_navigate simply summarizes a domain's tools.
Credentials
One ScalePad API key (generated in the ScalePad app by an Administrator) covers every product; endpoints for products without an active subscription return 402.
Environment variables (AUTH_MODE=env, default for stdio/local)
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
SCALEPAD_API_KEY |
yes | Forwarded to api.scalepad.com as x-api-key |
SCALEPAD_REGION |
no | us (default), eu, ca, or au — selects the regional base URL for ControlMap (us/eu/ca/au) and Backup Radar (us/eu); Core and Lifecycle Manager are US-only |
QUOTER_CLIENT_ID |
no | Only for the standalone api.quoter.com OAuth path (Quoter Account > API Keys, Account Owner only) |
QUOTER_CLIENT_SECRET |
no | Paired with QUOTER_CLIENT_ID |
Gateway headers (AUTH_MODE=gateway, hosted deployment)
| Header | Required |
|---|---|
X-ScalePad-Api-Key |
yes |
X-ScalePad-Region |
no |
X-Quoter-Client-Id |
no |
X-Quoter-Client-Secret |
no |
In gateway mode credentials are bound per request from these headers; requests to /mcp without X-ScalePad-Api-Key are rejected with a 401 JSON-RPC error before any MCP handling (they never fall through to env credentials). /health stays unauthenticated.
Transports
- stdio (default):
node dist/index.js— for Claude Desktop / CLI. - HTTP:
MCP_TRANSPORT=http node dist/index.js— serves/mcp(dual-era,legacy: 'stateless') plus/health. Configure withMCP_HTTP_PORT(default8080) andMCP_HTTP_HOST(default0.0.0.0).
Development
export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) # GitHub Packages read access
npm ci
npm run build # tsup (transpile-only; domains stay lazily importable)
npm test # vitest (HTTP layer: health, 401 gate, dual-era tools/list)
npm run smoke # dual-era smoke against dist/index.js
npm run typecheck
Domain handlers live in src/domains/<slug>.ts, each exporting export const handler: DomainHandler (see src/utils/types.ts), and are lazily loaded via src/domains/index.ts.
Docker
docker build --build-arg NODE_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) -t scalepad-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e AUTH_MODE=env -e SCALEPAD_API_KEY=... scalepad-mcp
The image defaults to AUTH_MODE=gateway for hosted deployment behind the WYRE MCP gateway.
