About Unleash Feature Flag MCP Server
An MCP server for managing feature flags through the Unleash API, suited to teams maintaining project flags programmatically. It supports project and flag retrieval, as well as flag creation and updates.
Key features
- 01List Unleash projects
- 02View flags within a project
- 03Create feature flags
- 04Update flag descriptions and types
- 05Retrieve an individual flag
Use cases
- 01Review projects in an Unleash instance
- 02Inspect flags for a specific project
- 03Create a release or experiment flag
- 04Change an existing flag's description or type
MCP support
The server provides MCP clients with tools to retrieve Unleash projects and manage feature flags. Configuration requires the Unleash API URL and an authentication token.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEUnleash Feature Flag MCP Server
This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Unleash feature flag management system. It allows AI agents to manage feature flags through the Unleash API.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a specification for enabling AI models to interact with external tools and data sources. This server implements the MCP protocol for Unleash, allowing AI assistants to manage feature flags programmatically.
Installation
You can install the package from npm:
npm install -g @ylin6/unleash-ff-mcp-server
Or run it directly using npx:
npx @ylin6/unleash-ff-mcp-server
Configuration
The server requires the following environment variables:
UNLEASH_API_URL: The URL of your Unleash API instanceUNLEASH_AUTH_TOKEN: The authentication token for your Unleash instance
Available Tools
The MCP server provides the following tools for managing feature flags:
Get Projects
Retrieves a list of all projects in the Unleash instance.
Get Features
Retrieves all feature flags within a specific project.
Parameters:
projectId: The ID of the project
Create Feature Flag
Creates a new feature flag within a project.
Parameters:
projectId: The ID of the projectname: The name of the feature flagdescription: A description of the feature flagtype: The type of the feature flag (e.g., "release", "experiment", "operational", "kill-switch")
Update Feature Flag
Updates an existing feature flag.
Parameters:
projectId: The ID of the projectfeatureId: The ID of the feature flagdescription: A new description for the feature flagtype: A new type for the feature flag
Get Feature Flag
Retrieves details about a specific feature flag.
Parameters:
projectId: The ID of the projectfeatureId: The ID of the feature flag
Using with Cursor
To use this MCP server with Cursor, use the following command in your cursor settings
env UNLEASH_API_URL=XXXX UNLEASH_AUTH_TOKEN=XXX npx -y @ylin6/unleash-ff-mcp-server
Examples
Example conversation with Cursor/Claude:
You: Show me all the feature flags in the 'dashboard' project
Claude: I'll fetch all the feature flags in the 'dashboard' project for you.
[Claude uses the getFeatures tool with projectId='dashboard']
Claude: Here are all the feature flags in the 'website' project:
- new-homepage (type: release)
- dark-mode (type: experiment)
- beta-footer (type: operational)
...
Development
To inspect the MCP server's operations, you can run:
npm run inspect
This uses the MCP inspector to analyze request/response patterns.

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.
