MCP server overview

what is Mcpserver?

Mcpserver is a small Node.js server that implements a “Model Context Protocol” (MCP) layer between your app (plugin, IDE, game, etc.), Claude AI (optional), and the IssueBadge API. It accepts requests to issue badges/certificates and forwards them to IssueBadge, optionally including a Claude-generated message.

how to use Mcpserver?

  1. Clone the repo and install dependencies: npm install.
  2. Start the server: npm start.
  3. Send a POST request to /sendBadge with a JSON body. Example payload: { “name”: “John Doe”, “email”: “john@example.com”, “badge_id”: “W238GD8PK”, “api_key”: “your_issuebadge_api_key”, “claude_message”: “Claude’s custom message here” // optional } Notes:
  • Claude integration is not performed automatically; call Claude’s API separately and pass the resulting message in claude_message.
  • Securely manage your IssueBadge API key (env vars, vaults, proxies).

key features

  • Single endpoint: POST /sendBadge to trigger badge issuance
  • Optional inclusion of Claude-generated or custom message
  • Forwards request to the IssueBadge API and returns the API response
  • Simple Node.js example with quick start (MIT licensed)

use cases

  1. Automate sending achievement badges from a game or learning platform.
  2. Issue contributor / recognition badges from an IDE plugin or CI workflow.
  3. Combine AI-generated personalized messages (via Claude) with automated certificate issuance.
  4. Prototype integrations between apps and the IssueBadge service.

FAQ from Mcpserver

  • Q: Does Mcpserver call Claude for me? A: No. The server accepts a claude_message field. You should call Claude’s API yourself, then pass the output in that field. The code can be extended to call Claude directly if desired.

  • Q: What endpoint and payload should I use? A: POST /sendBadge with JSON including name, email, badge_id, api_key, and optional claude_message. The server returns a JSON response with success, message, claude_output, and response fields.

  • Q: How do I secure API keys? A: Do not hardcode keys. Use environment variables, secrets managers, or a backend proxy. Ensure TLS and proper access controls in production.

  • Q: Is this production-ready? A: It’s a simple example/demo. For production use add authentication, input validation, rate limiting, logging sanitization, and secure key management.

  • Q: What license is used? A: MIT license.
