SD Elements MCP Server

MCP server for SD Elements API v2 (STDIO only). Use it from MCP clients to manage projects, surveys, countermeasures, scans, reports, diagrams, and users.

Quick start

npm ci
npm run start

Required configuration

• SDE_HOST: https://your-sdelements-instance.com
• SDE_API_KEY: your-api-key-here

Client setup (Cursor + Claude Desktop)

Both clients use the same mcpServers object — the only difference is where you paste it.

• Cursor: add this under MCP settings (Cursor “MCP Servers” / mcpServers).
• Claude Desktop: add this to claude_desktop_config.json.

Pick one execution style:

• Option A (recommended): run from the GitHub repo via npx (builds on install)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sdelements": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:sdelements/sde-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
        "SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Option B: run from a local checkout (build output)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sdelements": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/sde-mcp/dist/main.js"],
      "env": {
        "SDE_HOST": "https://your-sdelements-instance.com",
        "SDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Build

npm run build

Local checkout build (for Option B)

npm ci
npm run build
