Connect an MCP client

Configure Tamperbox MCP through local stdio or the public Streamable HTTP endpoint.

Local stdio

Use the published npm package when the client can launch a local process.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tamperbox": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tamperbox-mcp@0.2.0"]
    }
  }
}

Restart or reload the client after changing its MCP configuration. A successful connection exposes exactly two tools, search and execute.

Public HTTP endpoint

Use the hosted endpoint when the client supports Streamable HTTP:

https://mcp.tamperbox.dev/mcp

The public endpoint does not require an API key. Inputs sent through it pass through the model provider and the hosted MCP service before an API request is made.

Confirm the connection

Ask the client to list the Tamperbox tools or to inspect one operation schema without running a check. If discovery succeeds, ask for a synthetic json_format example and confirm that the result reports one attempted API call.

Client-specific examples live in the Tamperbox MCP repository.
