Overview
This project implements an MCP server that acts as a middleware between clients and the Smallest.ai API. It provides a standardized way to interact with Smallest.ai's knowledge base management features through the Model Context Protocol.
Architecture
[Client Application] <---> [MCP Server] <---> [Smallest.ai API]
Components
MCP Server
- Handles client requests
- Manages API communication
- Provides standardized responses
- Implements error handling
Knowledge Base Tools
listKnowledgeBases: Lists all knowledge basescreateKnowledgeBase: Creates new knowledge basesgetKnowledgeBase: Retrieves specific knowledge base details
Documentation Resource
- Available at
docs://smallest.ai - Provides usage instructions and examples
- Available at
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ or Bun runtime
- Smallest.ai API key
- TypeScript knowledge
Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MCP-smallest.ai.git
cd MCP-smallest.ai
- Install dependencies:
bun install
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory:
SMALLEST_AI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Configuration
Create a config.ts file with your Smallest.ai API configuration:
export const config = {
API_KEY: process.env.SMALLEST_AI_API_KEY,
BASE_URL: 'https://atoms-api.smallest.ai/api/v1'
};
Usage
Starting the Server
bun run index.ts
Testing the Server
bun run test-client.ts
Available Tools
- List Knowledge Bases
await client.callTool({
name: "listKnowledgeBases",
arguments: {}
});
- Create Knowledge Base
await client.callTool({
name: "createKnowledgeBase",
arguments: {
name: "My Knowledge Base",
description: "Description of the knowledge base"
}
});
- Get Knowledge Base
await client.callTool({
name: "getKnowledgeBase",
arguments: {
id: "knowledge_base_id"
}
});
Response Format
All responses follow this structure:
{
content: [{
type: "text",
text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)
}]
}
Error Handling
The server implements comprehensive error handling:
- HTTP errors
- API errors
- Parameter validation errors
- Type-safe error responses

Adding New Tools
- Define the tool in
index.ts:
server.tool(
"toolName",
{
param1: z.string(),
param2: z.number()
},
async (args) => {
// Implementation
}
);
- Update documentation in the resource:
server.resource(
"documentation",
"docs://smallest.ai",
async (uri) => ({
contents: [{
uri: uri.href,
text: `Updated documentation...`
}]
})
);
Security
- API keys are stored in environment variables
- All requests are authenticated
- Parameter validation is implemented
- Error messages are sanitized

Installing Smallest Ai
This server has no published package — it is built from source. Open the repository and follow its README.
▸ github.com/VinayakTiwari1103/MCP-smallest-aiFAQ
Is Smallest Ai MCP free?
Yes, Smallest Ai MCP is free — one-click install via Unyly at no cost.
Does Smallest Ai need an API key?
No, Smallest Ai runs without API keys or environment variables.
Is Smallest Ai hosted or self-hosted?
Self-hosted: the server runs locally on your machine via the install command above.
How do I install Smallest Ai in Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor?
Open Smallest Ai on unyly.org, pick your client tab (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) and press Install — the config is generated automatically, no JSON editing.
