🛠️ For Developers
Want to add more tools or customize the server? This repository contains the complete source code with a configuration-driven architecture.
Local Development
git clone https://github.com/AIGC-Hackers/a1d-mcp-server.git
cd a1d-mcp-server
npm install
npm run start
The local server will start on http://localhost:8787. You can test it with your API key by adding the api_key header to requests.
Adding New Tools
Simply edit src/config/tools.json to add new AI tools without writing code:
{
"name": "new_tool",
"description": "Tool description",
"apiEndpoint": "/api/endpoint",
"inputSchema": { /* ... */ },
"zodValidation": { /* ... */ }
}
See docs/ADD_NEW_TOOL.md for detailed instructions.
🔐 Security
- User-provided credentials: This server expects users to provide their own A1D API keys via headers
- No stored secrets: All API keys are passed through request headers, nothing is stored server-side
- Report vulnerabilities: See SECURITY.md for responsible disclosure

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.
