What is the Kintone MCP server?

Connect Kintone to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. This is a fork of @kintone/mcp-server,feat: Add UiPath Platform compatibility mode for tools/list schema. The kintone mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Add a schema transformation layer to convert JSON Schema type arrays (e.g., ["string", "null"]) to single type strings (e.g., "string") for UiPath Platform compatibility.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json [ref]
  • kintone-get-apps — 複数のアプリ情報を取得
  • kintone-get-app — 単一アプリの詳細情報を取得
  • kintone-get-form-fields — アプリのフィールド設定を取得
  • kintone-get-form-layout — アプリのフォームレイアウトを取得
  • kintone-update-form-fields — アプリのフィールド設定を更新
  • kintone-update-form-layout — アプリのフォームレイアウトを更新
  • kintone-delete-form-fields — アプリのフィールドを削除
  • kintone-get-process-management — プロセス管理設定を取得
  • kintone-get-app-deploy-status — アプリ設定の運用環境への反映状況確認
  • kintone-get-general-settings — アプリの一般設定を取得
  • kintone-add-form-fields — アプリにフィールドを追加

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @myoshidan/kintone-mcp-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: KINTONE_BASE_URL, KINTONE_USERNAME, KINTONE_PASSWORD, HTTPS_PROXY, KINTONE_API_TOKEN, KINTONE_PFX_FILE_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

This sits in the cloud and infrastructure group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Kintone's toolset — Cursor, kintone-get-apps, kintone-get-app and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by myoshidan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Kintone's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Kintone.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Kintone to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (Cursor, kintone-get-apps, kintone-get-app, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Kintone directly.
