What is the It Tools MCP MCP server?

It tools mcp mcp server connects It Tools MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP-compliant server access to over 100 IT tools and utilities commonly used by developers, system administrators, and IT professionals.

What It Tools MCP does

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to over 121 IT tools and utilities commonly used by developers, system administrators, and IT professionals. This server exposes a complete set of tools for encoding/decoding, text manipulation, hashing, network utilities, and many other common development and IT tasks.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:

  • parse_ansible_inventory — Parse Ansible inventory
  • generate_ansible_inventory — Generate Ansible inventory
  • validate_ansible_playbook — Validate Ansible playbook YAML
  • show_ansible_reference — Ansible syntax and module reference
  • decrypt_ansible_vault — Decrypt Ansible Vault data
  • encrypt_ansible_vault — Encrypt data with Ansible Vault
  • convert_hex_to_rgb — Convert HEX to RGB
  • convert_rgb_to_hex — Convert RGB to HEX
  • convert_html_to_markdown — Convert HTML to Markdown
  • compare_json — Compare JSON objects
  • format_json — Format and validate JSON
  • minify_json — Minify JSON
  • convert_json_to_csv — Convert JSON to CSV
  • convert_json_to_toml — Convert JSON to TOML

Installing the it tools mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as it-tools-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. It Tools MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — parse_ansible_inventory, generate_ansible_inventory, validate_ansible_playbook among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use It Tools MCP.
  • Maintained by wrenchpilot.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the it tools mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
