About Action1
Action1 is an MCP server for accessing Action1 endpoint inventory, patch status, and policy information. Its v1 surface is read-only, and MCP Apps hosts can show endpoint summaries as interactive device cards.
Key features
- 01List accessible organizations
- 02Query managed endpoints by organization
- 03Get details for a single endpoint
- 04List missing OS and application patches
- 05View automation and remediation policies
- 06Read-only device cards in MCP Apps
Use cases
- 01Inventory managed devices across organizations
- 02Check endpoints for missing patches
- 03Review endpoint status and reboot requirements
- 04Inspect configured automation policies
MCP support
The server exposes Action1 organization, endpoint, update, and policy queries to MCP clients. Version 1 is read-only and does not offer deployment or automation write operations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAction1 MCP Server
MCP server for Action1 — endpoint inventory, patch visibility, and policy automation via the Model Context Protocol.
Read-only in v1. Deploy / automation surface is intentionally separated to a later release for blast-radius reasons (a bad policy push can brick endpoint fleets).
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
action1_navigate | Discover available tools by domain (organizations / endpoints / policies / updates) |
action1_list_organizations | List Action1 tenants accessible to the configured credentials |
action1_list_endpoints | List managed devices in an organization |
action1_get_endpoint | Get a single endpoint by id |
action1_list_missing_updates | List missing OS/application patches across endpoints — Action1's headline value-prop |
action1_list_policies | List automation / policy / remediation rules |
API surface maps to PSAction1 (Action1's MIT-licensed PowerShell module). When the v1 surface earns its keep, write tools (deploy, requery, package upload) come in v2 behind separate review.
Interactive Device Card (MCP Apps)
action1_get_endpoint renders as an interactive device-summary card in MCP
Apps hosts (Claude Desktop/web) — status, OS, user, IP, agent version,
reboot-required, and missing-update counts at a glance; plain-JSON behavior is
unchanged in other hosts. The card is read-only (matching the v1 tool surface),
neutral by default, and brandable via window.__BRAND__ injection or
MCP_BRAND_* env vars (MCP_BRAND_NAME, MCP_BRAND_LOGO_URL,
MCP_BRAND_PRIMARY_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_ACCENT_COLOR, MCP_BRAND_BG,
MCP_BRAND_TEXT) — no rebuild needed.
Usage
Claude Desktop (MCPB)
Install via the MCPB bundle from the latest release.
Required credentials (created in Action1 → Settings → API Credentials, non-recoverable on creation — copy immediately):
- API Key (Client ID)
- Secret
- Region (
NorthAmericadefault; alsoNorthAmerica-2,Europe,Australia) - Optional default organization id (for single-tenant use)
Stdio (direct)
ACTION1_API_KEY=... \
ACTION1_SECRET=... \
ACTION1_REGION=NorthAmerica \
ACTION1_DEFAULT_ORG_ID=org-... \
npx -y github:WYRE-AI/action1-mcp
HTTP
CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is required. If it is empty or a known placeholder (changeme, replace-with-a-real-secret, and similar), the HTTP server logs an error and exits non-zero. It never prints the secret. Generate one with openssl rand -hex 32.
MCP_HTTP_HOST defaults to 127.0.0.1 when unset. Set 0.0.0.0 only when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is set. The container image does that and sets AUTH_MODE=gateway. MCP_HTTP_PORT (or PORT) selects the port and defaults to 8080.
MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 starts HTTP without CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET, logs a warning, skips X-Gateway-S2S, and binds 127.0.0.1 only. A non-loopback MCP_HTTP_HOST (including 0.0.0.0) refuses to start. A placeholder secret is still rejected. Local development only.
/health stays unauthenticated and does not read credentials. The stdio transport does not use CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET.
X-Gateway-S2S
Every HTTP request except /health must include X-Gateway-S2S when a secret is configured. The value is t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>, where the hex is HMAC-SHA256 of the literal string t=<unix seconds> keyed with CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET (64 lowercase hex characters). The timestamp must be within 300 seconds of the server clock. A missing or invalid header is HTTP 401, before vendor credentials are read.
TS=$(date +%s)
SIG=$(printf 't=%s' "$TS" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" -hex | awk '{print $NF}')
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-H "X-Gateway-S2S: t=${TS},v1=${SIG}" \
-H "X-Action1-API-Key: $ACTION1_API_KEY" \
-H "X-Action1-Secret: $ACTION1_SECRET" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
Gateway mode (AUTH_MODE=gateway)
The Docker image and Compose file default to gateway mode. Every request must include:
X-Action1-API-KeyX-Action1-SecretX-Action1-Region(optional)X-Action1-Default-Org-Id(optional)
A request missing the API key or secret gets 401 and does not fall back to ACTION1_API_KEY / ACTION1_SECRET in the process environment. Those headers are the only credential source for that request.
docker run \
-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
ghcr.io/wyre-ai/action1-mcp:latest
Compose refuses to start when CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET is unset, publishes 127.0.0.1:8080:8080, and does not pass static Action1 credentials into the container:
CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" docker compose up
Single-tenant HTTP (AUTH_MODE=env)
Requests still require a valid X-Gateway-S2S header. Vendor credentials come from ACTION1_API_KEY and ACTION1_SECRET when the request does not carry those headers.
docker run \
-e CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET="$CONDUIT_S2S_SECRET" \
-e AUTH_MODE=env \
-e ACTION1_API_KEY="$ACTION1_API_KEY" \
-e ACTION1_SECRET="$ACTION1_SECRET" \
-e ACTION1_REGION=NorthAmerica \
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
ghcr.io/wyre-ai/action1-mcp:latest
Local HTTP without a secret is development-only. It binds 127.0.0.1 and logs a warning:
MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_ALLOW_INSECURE_DEV=1 npm start

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.
