About Signadot MCP Server
Signadot CLI is a command-line interface for working with Signadot. The supplied README covers CLI installation and release procedures but does not describe the MCP tools or capabilities behind the listed server.
Key features
- 01Install the CLI with a script
- 02Select a CLI version during installation
- 03Build the CLI from source
- 04Publish releases and MCP registry entries
Use cases
- 01Install Signadot CLI in a target directory
- 02Build the CLI while testing changes
- 03Publish a release and its MCP registry entry
MCP support
The README describes publishing an MCP server entry to the official MCP Registry, but does not explain the server's tools or client-facing behavior.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMESignadot CLI
This is the source repository for the Signadot command-line interface.
Please see the CLI reference for installation and usage instructions.
To file an issue, please use our community issue tracker.
NOTE: Starting next release, and hence in the main branch, this repository has a dependency on a private repository, and hence building or running from source will not work. Previous releases should continue to work.
Install
To install the CLI, run:
curl -sSLf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/signadot/cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
By default, the script will install the latest version at /usr/local/bin/signadot. The target version can be selected by setting the SIGNADOT_CLI_VERSION variable, while you can specify the install directory with SIGNADOT_CLI_PATH.
Build
To build the CLI from source, such as to test changes, you'll need Go 1.27.1+.
The main package is in cmd/signadot:
go build ./cmd/signadot
Release
To release the CLI, you can use the release Github action.
Push a new tag that matches the format v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]
and it will push new release artifacts and update brew.
Post-release: publish to the MCP Registry
After the GitHub release artifacts are live, publish the MCP server entry
manually. goreleaser does not yet support the fileSha256 integrity field
required by the MCP registry for mcpb packages.
Prerequisites:
- install
mcp-publisher - a classic GitHub PAT with only the
read:orgscope (create one here), owned by an Owner of the signadot org. Since registry#1383 the registry grants theio.github.signadot/*namespace only to org Owners, and the interactivemcp-publisher login githubdevice flow cannot read org roles — logging in with a PAT is what makes org publishing work.
./scripts/gen-mcp-server-json.sh <version> # e.g. v1.8.0 — writes server.json
MCP_GITHUB_TOKEN=<pat-with-read:org> mcp-publisher login github
mcp-publisher publish server.json
The script writes the v-prefixed tag (e.g. v1.8.0) as the version in
server.json. Don't hand-edit it to the bare form — the registry treats
1.4.0 and v1.4.0 as distinct versions, and mixing the two has created
duplicate entries in the past.
This covers the official MCP registry only. For getting the MCP server listed in other directories (Claude Desktop extensions, Docker MCP Catalog, and others), see docs/mcp-distribution.md.

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.
