# Paperclip MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for Paperclip.

This package is a thin MCP wrapper over the existing Paperclip REST API. It does
not talk to the database directly and it does not reimplement business logic.

## Authentication

The server reads its configuration from environment variables:

- `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` - Paperclip base URL, for example `http://localhost:3100`
- `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` - bearer token used for `/api` requests
- `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID` - optional default company for company-scoped tools
- `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID` - optional default agent for checkout helpers
- `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID` - optional run id forwarded on mutating requests

## Usage

```sh
npx -y @paperclipai/mcp-server
```

Or locally in this repo:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/mcp-server build
node packages/mcp-server/dist/stdio.js
```
