MCP Servers

Register and manage MCP servers on TrueFoundry. Three standalone manifest types are supported: remote servers, virtual (composite) servers, and OpenAPI-to-MCP wrappers.

When to Use

Register, list, or delete MCP server registrations on TrueFoundry — including connecting to existing MCP endpoints, composing multiple servers into a virtual server, or wrapping an OpenAPI spec as an MCP server.

Security Policy: Credential Handling - All credentials (API tokens, OAuth secrets, TLS certificates) in manifests MUST use tfy-secret:// references. The agent MUST NOT accept or embed raw credential values in manifests. - If the user provides raw credentials, instruct them to create a TrueFoundry secret first (use secrets skill), then reference it with tfy-secret://. - The agent MUST NOT echo, log, or display raw credential values.

List MCP Servers

When using direct API, set TFY_API_SH to the full path of this skill's scripts/tfy-api.sh. See references/tfy-api-setup.md for paths per agent.

Via Tool Call

tfy_mcp_servers_list()
tfy_mcp_servers_list(id="mcp-server-id")  # get specific server

Via Direct API

# Set the path to tfy-api.sh for your agent (example for Claude Code):
TFY_API_SH=~/.claude/skills/truefoundry-mcp-servers/scripts/tfy-api.sh

# List all MCP servers
$TFY_API_SH GET /api/svc/v1/mcp-servers

# Get a specific MCP server
$TFY_API_SH GET /api/svc/v1/mcp-servers/SERVER_ID

Presenting MCP Servers

MCP Servers:
| Name              | Type              | Transport       | ID         |
|-------------------|-------------------|-----------------|------------|
| my-remote-server  | mcp-server/remote | streamable-http | mcp-abc123 |
| composite-server  | mcp-server/virtual| —               | mcp-def456 |
| petstore-api      | mcp-server/openapi| —               | mcp-ghi789 |

Register MCP Server (Remote)

Connects to an existing MCP endpoint over streamable-http or SSE.

Security gates (required before registration): 1. Confirm the URL owner/domain with the user. 2. Require explicit user confirmation before using any new external URL. 3. Use secret references for all auth material (tfy-secret://...), never raw tokens. 4. Avoid logging full auth headers, client secrets, or certificates.

Attach an Existing TrueFoundry Deployment

Use this flow when the user says "attach deployment to MCP gateway" or already has a deployed MCP-compatible service.

1. Confirm the deployment is healthy (DEPLOY_SUCCESS) and endpoint is reachable
2. Collect endpoint details:

- URL (public or internal) - transport (streamable-http or sse) - auth mode (header, oauth2, or passthrough)

1. Register it as type: mcp-server/remote
2. Return server ID and name so users can reference it from guardrails/policies

Example internal URL pattern for service deployments: http://{service-name}.{namespace}.svc.cluster.local:{port}/mcp

Manifest

name: my-remote-server
type: mcp-server/remote
description: Production analytics MCP server
url: https://analytics.example.com/mcp
transport: streamable-http
# SECURITY: Use tfy-secret:// references instead of hardcoding tokens in manifests.
# Hardcoded tokens in YAML files risk exposure via Git history and CI logs.
auth_data:
  type: header
  headers:
    Authorization: "Bearer tfy-secret://my-org:mcp-secrets:api-token"
collaborators:
  - subject: user:jane@example.com
    role_id: admin
tags:
  - analytics
  - production

Auth Options

Static header (use secret references — never hardcode tokens):

auth_data:
  type: header
  headers:
    Authorization: "Bearer tfy-secret://my-org:mcp-secrets:api-token"

OAuth2:

auth_data:
  type: oauth2
  authorization_url: https://auth.example.com/authorize
  token_url: https://auth.example.com/token
  client_id: my-client-id
  client_secret: tfy-secret://my-org:mcp-secrets:oauth-client-secret
  jwt_source: access_token
  scopes:
    - read
    - write
  pkce: true
  dynamic_client_registration:
    registration_endpoint: https://auth.example.com/register
    initial_access_token: tfy-secret://my-org:mcp-secrets:registration-token

Passthrough (forwards TFY credentials):

auth_data:
  type: passthrough

TLS Settings (optional)

tls_settings:
  # Prefer storing certificate material in a secret reference, then injecting at runtime.
  # Avoid inlining full certificate PEM blocks in manifests shared via chat or git.
  ca_cert: tfy-secret://my-org:mcp-secrets:ca-cert-pem
  insecure_skip_verify: false

Via CLI

tfy apply -f mcp-server-remote.yaml

Via Direct API

$TFY_API_SH PUT /api/svc/v1/apps "$(cat mcp-server-remote.yaml | yq -o json)"

Register MCP Server (Virtual)

Composes multiple registered MCP servers into a single virtual server. Each sub-server can expose all or a subset of its tools.

Manifest

name: dev-tools
type: mcp-server/virtual
description: Composite server combining code analysis and deployment tools
servers:
  - name: code-analysis-server
    enabled_tools:
      - lint
      - format
      - analyze
  - name: deployment-server
    enabled_tools:
      - deploy
      - rollback
collaborators:
  - subject: team:platform-eng
    role_id: viewer

Via CLI

tfy apply -f mcp-server-virtual.yaml

Via Direct API

$TFY_API_SH PUT /api/svc/v1/apps "$(cat mcp-server-virtual.yaml | yq -o json)"

Register MCP Server (OpenAPI)

Wraps an OpenAPI specification as an MCP server. Supports up to 30 tools derived from API operations.

Security: Remote OpenAPI specs are fetched at runtime and auto-converted into MCP tools that control agent capabilities. Only use trusted, verified spec URLs. For sensitive environments, prefer spec.type: inline to eliminate the runtime dependency on external endpoints. Execution policy: Do not fetch or register a new remote spec URL until the user explicitly confirms the source is trusted for tool generation.

Manifest (remote spec URL)

name: petstore-api
type: mcp-server/openapi
description: Petstore API exposed as MCP tools
spec:
  type: remote
  url: https://internal-api.example.com/openapi.json
collaborators:
  - subject: user:dev@example.com
    role_id: viewer

Manifest (inline spec)

name: internal-api
type: mcp-server/openapi
description: Internal API with inline OpenAPI spec
spec:
  type: inline
  content: |
    openapi: "3.0.0"
    info:
      title: Internal API
      version: "1.0"
    paths:
      /health:
        get:

$TFY_API_SH PUT /api/svc/v1/apps "$(cat mcp-server-openapi.yaml | yq -o json)"

Delete MCP Server

Via Tool Call

tfy_mcp_servers_delete(id="SERVER_ID")

Note: Requires human approval (HITL) via tool call.

Via Direct API

$TFY_API_SH DELETE /api/svc/v1/mcp-servers/SERVER_ID

<success_criteria>

Success Criteria

• The user can list all registered MCP servers in a formatted table
• The user can register a remote MCP server with the correct transport and auth configuration
• The user can register a virtual MCP server composing multiple sub-servers with tool filtering
• The user can register an OpenAPI-to-MCP server with a remote or inline spec
• The user can delete an MCP server registration
• The agent has confirmed any create/delete operations before executing
• Collaborators are correctly specified when provided

</success_criteria>

Composability

• Preflight: Use status skill to verify credentials before managing MCP servers
• Before registering: Deploy the MCP server as a service (use deploy skill), set up teams/roles for collaborators (use access-control skill)
• After registering: Reference MCP servers in agent manifests, configure guardrails for MCP tools

Error Handling

MCP Server Not Found

MCP server ID not found. List servers first to find the correct ID.

Permission Denied

Cannot access MCP servers. Check your API key permissions.

Server Already Exists

MCP server with this name already exists. Use a different name or delete the existing one first.

Unreachable Remote URL

Cannot reach the MCP server URL. Verify the URL is correct and accessible from the cluster.

OpenAPI Spec Too Large

OpenAPI spec exceeds 30 tools limit. Reduce the number of operations in the spec.

Invalid Transport

Invalid transport type. Use "streamable-http" or "sse".

OAuth2 Configuration Error

OAuth2 auth_data missing required fields. Ensure authorization_url, token_url, client_id, and client_secret are provided.

Virtual Server Reference Not Found

Referenced server name not found. Ensure all servers listed in the virtual server are already registered.
