What is the MCP ZepAi MCP server?

Mcp zepai mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with MCP ZepAi directly. This repository contains the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the ZepAi module. The server is configured to run using a specific command and environment variables as detailed below.

What MCP ZepAi does

This repository contains the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the ZepAi module. The server is configured to run using a specific command and environment variables as detailed below.

Tools it exposes

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

  • command — The command to execute the server, in this case, using uv
  • args — Arguments passed to the command, including the directory and module to run
  • cwd — The current working directory for the server
  • env — Environment variables required for the server, such as ZEP_API_KEY

Installing the mcp zepai mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: ZEP_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

File and storage servers are what separate an assistant that talks about your documents from one that actually works with them. MCP ZepAi sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — command, args, cwd among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other file systems 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 annamariakv, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp zepai 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.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP ZepAi to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (command, args, cwd, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP ZepAi directly.
