Documentation

@beaconed/mcp

MCP server exposing the Beaconed v1 API to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Ask Claude to list your products, queue optimizations, approve AI-generated copy, and manage webhooks — all via natural language.

Requires Node.js 22 or later.

Install

npm install -g @beaconed/mcp

Setup

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beaconed": {
      "command": "beaconed-mcp",
      "env": {
        "BEACONED_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key at beaconed.ai under Settings > API Keys.

Set BEACONED_BASE_URL to override the default https://beaconed.ai (useful for local dev or staging).

This package uses stdio and requires Node.js 20+. Tools operate on the account associated with BEACONED_API_KEY.

Optimization uses account credits; the request limit above is a rate limit, not a price. Queue acceptance does not confirm completion. Read product or optimization details to check the result. Approval can publish immediately or queue a Shopify write when auto_push_on_approve is enabled; inspect account settings and the proposed content before approving. Applying or reverting can replace live content.

Tool annotations describe read-only, replacement, repeat-call, and external-system effects. Clients may use these hints when asking for confirmation; the annotations do not enforce confirmation.

Hosted deployments must rate-limit POST /register at a trusted edge using the verified client address. The Node service deliberately ignores forwarded client-address headers because accepting them without an authenticated proxy boundary would let callers spoof the rate-limit identity.

The production container and required settings are documented in docs/deployment.md.

Registry publishing

server.json describes the stdio npm package. Its name matches mcpName in package.json; both versions must match the release being submitted. Publish and verify that exact npm version before running mcp-publisher publish. Registry acceptance and directory approval are separate from an npm release.
