Any MCP client
Protobox speaks standard MCP over streamable HTTP — anything that speaks MCP can connect.
Your workspace endpoint is a standard MCP server over streamable HTTP. Any conformant client, agent framework, or your own code can connect with:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://your-workspace.protobox.app/mcp/srv/<server-slug> |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
Authorization header | Bearer <mcp-server-key> |
Accept header | application/json, text/event-stream |
The server key is separate from your workspace API key — mint one with
protobox mcp keys create, or let protobox mcp connect raw mint one for you.
The Accept header matters: MCP responses stream as Server-Sent Events. A missing Accept yields 406 Not Acceptable.
Generate a generic config
protobox mcp connect raw{
"mcpServers": {
"orders": {
"url": "https://acme.protobox.app/mcp/srv/orders",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pbk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }
}
}
}Inspect the endpoint interactively
The MCP Inspector is the quickest way to poke at tools, resources, and prompts:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspectorEnter the URL, add the Authorization: Bearer <mcp-server-key> header, connect, and browse what
your workspace exposes.
