HAP MCP Server

@mingdaocloud/hap-mcp

HAP (Hyper Application Platform) is an APaaS platform launched by Mingdao (https://www.mingdao.com) that helps you rapidly build enterprise-grade applications with no coding. This is the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server by HAP for seamless AI integration.

🚀 Quick Start with MCP Client (e.g. cursor)

1. Configure cursor MCP Settings (Need Node.js 18+)

Add the following configuration to your cursor settings:

Option A: Standard Configuration (SaaS Version) Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mingdaocloud/hap-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "APPKEY": "your_APPKEY_here",
        "SIGN": "your_signature_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Private Deployment Configuration For private deployment environments only. Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mingdaocloud/hap-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "APPKEY": "your_APPKEY_here",
        "SIGN": "your_signature_here",
        "HOST": "https://www.nocoly.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The HOST parameter is only required for private deployment environments. Replace https://www.nocoly.com with your actual private deployment server URL.

2. Start Using in cursor

After configuration, true on the hap-mcp tool and you'll have access to all HAP API tools directly in your AI conversations!

🚀 Getting Started

After creating your project:

1. Install dependencies using your preferred package manager:

   # Using npm
   npm install
   
   # Using yarn
   yarn
   
   # Using pnpm
   pnpm install
   
   # Using bun
   bun install
   

2. Start the server:

   # Start the stdio server
   npm start
   
   # Or start the HTTP server
   npm run start:http
   

3. For development with auto-reload:

   # Development mode with stdio
   npm run dev
   
   # Development mode with HTTP
   npm run dev:http
   

Note: The default scripts in package.json use Bun as the runtime (e.g., bun run src/index.ts). If you prefer to use a different package manager or runtime, you can modify these scripts in your package.json file to use Node.js or another runtime of your choice.

📖 Detailed Usage

Transport Methods

The MCP server supports two transport methods:

1. stdio Transport (Command Line Mode):

   • Runs on your local machine
   • Managed automatically by MCP Client (e.g. cursor)
   • Communicates directly via stdout
   • Only accessible by you locally
   • Ideal for personal development and tools

2. SSE Transport (HTTP Web Mode):

   • Can run locally or remotely
   • Managed and run by you
   • Communicates over the network
   • Can be shared across machines
   • Ideal for team collaboration and shared tools

Running the Server Locally

stdio Transport (CLI Mode)

Start the server in stdio mode for CLI tools:

# Start the stdio server
npm start
# or with other package managers
yarn start
pnpm start
bun start

# Start the server in development mode with auto-reload
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
pnpm dev
bun dev

HTTP Transport (Web Mode)

Start the server in HTTP mode for web applications:

# Start the HTTP server
npm run start:http
# or
yarn start:http
pnpm start:http
bun start:http

# Start the HTTP server in development mode with auto-reload
npm run dev:http
# or
yarn dev:http
pnpm dev:http
bun dev:http

By default, the HTTP server runs on port 3001. You can change this by setting the PORT environment variable:

# Start the HTTP server on a custom port
PORT=8080 npm run start:http

Connecting to the Server

Connecting from Cursor

To connect to your MCP server from Cursor:

1. Open Cursor and go to Settings (gear icon in the bottom left)
2. Click on "Features" in the left sidebar
3. Scroll down to "MCP Servers" section
4. Click "Add new MCP server"
5. Enter the following details:
   • Server name: my-mcp-server (or any name you prefer)
   • For stdio mode:
     • Type: command
     • Command: The path to your server executable, e.g., npm start
   • For SSE mode:
     • Type: url
     • URL: http://localhost:3001/sse
6. Click "Save"

Using mcp.json with Cursor

For a more portable configuration, create an .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory:

Standard Configuration (SaaS Version):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mingdaocloud/hap-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "APPKEY": "your_APPKEY_here",
        "SIGN": "your_signature_here"
      }
    },
    "my-mcp-sse": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
    }
  }
}

Private Deployment Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hap-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mingdaocloud/hap-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "APPKEY": "your_APPKEY_here",
        "SIGN": "your_signature_here",
        "HOST": "https://www.nocoly.com"
      }
    },
    "my-mcp-sse": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
    }
  }
}

You can also create a global configuration at ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make your MCP servers available in all your Cursor workspaces.

Environment Variables:

• APPKEY (required): Your Mingdao application key
• SIGN (required): Your Mingdao signature
• HOST (optional): Custom host URL for private deployment only (e.g., https://www.nocoly.com). If provided, API calls will use host/api instead of https://api.mingdao.com

Note:

• The command type entries run the server in stdio mode
• The url type entry connects to the HTTP server using SSE transport
• You can provide environment variables using the env field
• When connecting via SSE with FastMCP, use the full URL including the /sse path: http://localhost:3001/sse

Testing Your Server with CLI Tools

FastMCP provides built-in tools for testing your server:

# Test with mcp-cli
npx fastmcp dev server.js

# Inspect with MCP Inspector
npx fastmcp inspect server.ts

Using Environment Variables

You can customize the server using environment variables:

# Required Mingdao API credentials
export APPKEY="your_APPKEY_here"
export SIGN="your_signature_here"

# Optional custom host (for private deployment only)
export HOST="https://www.nocoly.com"

# Server configuration
# Change the HTTP port (default is 3001)
PORT=8080 npm run start:http

# Change the host binding (default is 0.0.0.0)
HOST=127.0.0.1 npm run start:http

🛠️ Adding Custom Tools and Resources

When adding custom tools, resources, or prompts to your FastMCP server:

Tools

server.addTool({
  name: "hello_world",
  description: "A simple hello world tool",
  parameters: z.object({
    name: z.string().describe("Name to greet")
  }),
  execute: async (params) => {
    return `Hello, ${params.name}!`;
  }
});

Resources

server.addResourceTemplate({
  uriTemplate: "example://{id}",
  name: "Example Resource",
  mimeType: "text/plain",
  arguments: [
    {
      name: "id",
      description: "Resource ID",
      required: true,
    },
  ],
  async load({ id }) {
    return {
      text: `This is an example resource with ID: ${id}`
    };
  }
});

Prompts

server.addPrompt({
  name: "greeting",
  description: "A simple greeting prompt",
  arguments: [
    {
      name: "name",
      description: "Name to greet",
      required: true,
    },
  ],
  load: async ({ name }) => {
    return `Hello, ${name}! How can I help you today?`;
  }
});
