### Description (declared)

# VectorStep Gateway MCP

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes [VectorStep Gateway](https://github.com/bantex01/VectorStep-Gateway) — agent authoring and inspection — to MCP clients such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop.

## What it is

A separate, standalone repository and process with no import-level dependency on the Gateway — the two are coupled only over HTTP, so each can be developed, versioned, and deployed independently.

It lets an MCP client create and edit agents (`agent.yaml` + `soul.md`, with the same validation the gateway itself uses), inspect what's available (configured MCP tool servers and their tools, configured LLM providers), and read gateway health/metrics. Pipelines/steps are not authored here — that's the job of the companion `VectorStep-Service-MCP`; the two have clean, non-overlapping tool sets.

## Quick start

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .
```

CI runs this repo's test suite on every push and pull request
(`.github/workflows/tests.yml`).

Then register it with your MCP client, pointing at a running Gateway instance:

```bash
claude mcp add vectorstep-gateway \
  --env GATEWAY_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:18780 \
  --env GATEWAY_OPERATOR_TOKEN=<your-operator-token> \
  -- /absolute/path/to/VectorStep-Gateway-MCP/.venv/bin/python -m vectorstep_gateway_mcp
```
