MCP support
It runs locally over STDIO and exposes Kibela tools and prompts to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and VSCode.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm -e KIBELA_ORIGIN -e KIBELA_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/kibela/kibela-mcp-serverKIBELA_ORIGINKIBELA_ACCESS_TOKENSecretLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
ghcr.io/kibela/kibela-mcp-serverstdioTools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEOverview
Kibela MCP Server is currently available only as a local server using STDIO and can be used with any MCP client such as Claude Desktop or VSCode.
Only those GraphQL APIs that are publicly available and suitable for MCP are implemented as tools.
Use Cases
- Ask about information in Kibela
- Organize folders and articles in Kibela
- Using AI to help you write with Kibela
Requirements
- Docker is installed
- Docker must be running
- Kibela access tokens is issued
- An application that implements the MCP client must be installed
Installation
Example: Claude Desktop
Write the following configuration to claude_desktop_config.json. Set the Kibela origin and access token as environment variables.
{
"mcpServers": {
"kibela": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"-e",
"KIBELA_ORIGIN",
"-e",
"KIBELA_ACCESS_TOKEN",

],
"env": {
"KIBELA_ORIGIN": "https://your-subdomain.kibe.la",
"KIBELA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "***"
}
}
}
}
No Docker
Then set the script as the execution command. At this time, make sure that the path to the script is absolute.

New to MCP?
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.
