Overview

This repository provides standardized MCP server implementations that enable AI assistants and language models to securely interact with external APIs and services. MCP is an open protocol that allows structured access to resources and operations.

Status: Some servers may be in Private Beta. Contact your account representative or submit an inquiry to learn about beta access.

🌐 MCP Server Endpoints

MCP servers are accessible via standardized HTTP endpoints that support the Model Context Protocol. These endpoints work with any compatible MCP client.

Standard Configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "fabric": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.equinix.com/fabric"
    },
    "peering-insights": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.equinix.com/peeringInsights"
    }
  }
}

Note: These URLs are designed for use within compliant MCP clients only. Direct browser access will return a 405 Method Not Allowed error. Use VS Code, Claude Desktop, or the MCP Inspector instead.

Configuration

Basic Setup

1. Copy the MCP server endpoint URL from the Available Servers table
2. Add it to your client's configuration file
3. Verify the connection in your MCP client interface

⚠️ Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Connection errors	Verify your network connection and ensure the server URL is correctly entered in your MCP client configuration
Tools not appearing	Restart your IDE/client application and verify the MCP server is properly installed and connected
HTTP 405 error	This occurs when accessing the endpoint in a web browser. Use your MCP client (VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) or MCP Inspector instead
Authentication failures	Ensure you completed the client browser consent flow and that the MCP client is configured with the correct server URL. If the client can't open a browser, check pop-up blockers and OS URL handlers.
Slow responses	Check your network latency and server status. Consider retrying requests if network conditions are poor
