About Voris
Voris is a small local proxy that connects MCP clients to the hosted Voris analytics server. It forwards protocol messages without implementing tools or accessing the database; the hosted service handles authentication, scopes, rate limits, and auditing.
Key features
- 01Bridge stdio to hosted HTTPS endpoint
- 02Forward JSON-RPC messages
- 03Scope a connection to one site
- 04Keep protocol output separate from diagnostics
Use cases
- 01Connect a local MCP client to Voris
- 02Use Voris analytics from an editor agent or CLI
MCP support
The package bridges a local MCP client's stdio connection to the hosted Voris MCP server over Streamable HTTP. The hosted server provides the tools and enforces access controls.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @voris-ai/mcpVORIS_API_KEYSecretYour Voris MCP API key. Generate one in the Voris dashboard under Settings > AI Connections.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project README@voris-ai/mcp
voris-mcp — a thin stdio ⇄ HTTPS proxy that connects a local MCP client (Claude Desktop, an editor agent, a CLI) to the hosted Voris MCP server at https://mcp.voris.ai/mcp.
It forwards JSON-RPC messages verbatim between the client's stdio channel and the hosted endpoint over Streamable HTTP. It contains no tool logic and no database access — all enforcement (authentication, scopes, rate limits, audit) lives in the hosted server. One connection is scoped to exactly one site, by your key.
Usage
Your MCP client launches voris-mcp as a subprocess and speaks MCP over its stdin/stdout. Provide your key via the environment:
VORIS_API_KEY=vor_mcp_… voris-mcp
Example Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"voris": {
"command": "voris-mcp",
"env": { "VORIS_API_KEY": "vor_mcp_…" }
}
}
}
Options
VORIS_API_KEY(required) — your Voris MCP connection key, generated in Settings → AI Connections. It is sent asAuthorization: Bearer …to the hosted endpoint. If it is unset,voris-mcpwrites a message to stderr and exits with code1.--endpoint <url>— override the hosted endpoint (defaulthttps://mcp.voris.ai/mcp). Mainly for local development; also accepts--endpoint=<url>.
All diagnostics are written to stderr; stdout carries only the MCP protocol stream, so it stays clean for the client.
Status
This release does not publish voris-mcp to npm. The package is built and tarball-tested here; public npm distribution ships in the next phase (A042). Until then, generate your key and copy the hosted-connection snippet from the Voris dashboard.

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.
