Remote MCP Scoped tokens Safe writes

Connect Startopia to coding agents and AI clients.

Startopia exposes project context, notes, tasks, recent changes, and preview-then-commit write actions through a remote MCP server. Use the built-in connect flow for client-specific install packs or wire it up directly from your agent.

Recommended setup path

Step 1

Create or reuse a project-scoped Startopia token.

Step 2

Pick a client preset or use the generic MCP payload.

Step 3

Call get_context_pack first so the agent starts with project context instead of raw notes.

Step 4

For writes, use preview_create_note, preview_create_task, or preview_update_task before commit_write_action.

Smoke test

Minimal remote MCP check

A project-scoped bearer token is enough to confirm the server is reachable and listing tools.

curl -s https://startopia.lol/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <STARTOPIA_TOKEN>" \
  -H "MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'
