What is the Softprobe MCP MCP server?

Softprobe mcp mcp server connects Softprobe MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. SoftProbe MCP Server for Session Data Recording Retrival.

What Softprobe MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for managing API test data and resources.

This server implements the MCP protocol to provide a structured way to access and manage API test data. It uses a hierarchical organization model where resources are scoped under organizations and applications.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 4 tools directly:

  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
  • Setup — The Setup tool exposed by this server
  • Building — The Building tool exposed by this server
  • Running — The Running tool exposed by this server

Installing the softprobe mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as npm, 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.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: SOFTPROBE_API_URL, SOFTPROBE_ACCESS_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Node.js v16 or higher - TypeScript

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. Softprobe MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Setup, Building 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.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by softprobe, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the softprobe 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.
