MCP Quickstart

The MCP server exposes TheCorporation corporate operations — formation, cap tables, equity, governance, compliance, and more — as 12 tools with 64 operations that any MCP-compatible client can call.

Install the MCP server

Section titled “Install the MCP server”
Terminal window
npx -y @thecorporation/mcp-server

Configure Claude Desktop

Section titled “Configure Claude Desktop”

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thecorporation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thecorporation/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CORP_API_URL": "http://localhost:8000",
        "CORP_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

For local mode (no server needed), set CORP_DATA_DIR instead of CORP_API_URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thecorporation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@thecorporation/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CORP_DATA_DIR": "./corp-data"
      }
    }
  }
}
