Overview
Votars-MCP is a tool that supports multiple language implementations of the Votars MCP server. Currently, only the Go version is available, with other languages to be added in future releases. It supports two interaction modes: sse (Server-Sent Events) and stdio (Standard Input/Output). It is designed to provide seamless integration with the Votars AI platform for processing various tasks.

Installation (Go MCP)
Installing via Smithery
To install votars-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @scarletlabs-ai/votars-mcp --client claude
Manual Installation
To install the Go version of Votars MCP from the GitHub repository, use:
go install github.com/scarletlabs-ai/Votars-MCP/go/votars-mcp@latest
Usage (Go MCP)
Run MCP Service
Before using the sse mode, you need to run the MCP server. Open a terminal and run:
votars-mcp -t sse -p 8080
This command starts the MCP service on port 8080, ready to accept sse requests.
1. SSE Mode
For sse mode, you need to provide the API key via request headers in the configuration file.
Configuration file example (mcp.config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"Votars MCP": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "http://0.0.0.0:8080/sse",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
}
}
}
}
2. Stdio Mode
For stdio mode, set the API key as an environment variable.
Configuration file example (mcp.config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"Votars MCP Stdio": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "votars-mcp",
"args": ["-t", "stdio"],
"env": {
"VOTARS_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
}
}
}
}
Obtaining Your API Key
- Go to Votars.AI and register.
- Navigate to your workspace's
Settings. - Create an API Key under the API Key management section.

Roadmap
- Current Support: Go
- Planned Support: Python, JavaScript, Rust, etc.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
