Idf MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 36 installs a week from npm. Last commit 10 May 2026.
Turn an IDF domain into an MCP server with invariants and role scopes in every tool description.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Idf MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}Put your own values in place of
<IDF_SERVER> (Base URL of the IDF host runtime (e.g. http://localhost:3001)), <IDF_DOMAIN> (IDF domain to expose as MCP tools (e.g. invest, booking, planning)).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
IDF_BOOTSTRAP (Set to 0 if the host runtime already bootstrapped the domain; 1 (default) to bootstrap from IDF_ONTOLOGY_PATH on first connection), IDF_ONTOLOGY_PATH (Filesystem path to the domain ontology module (only used when IDF_BOOTSTRAP=1)), IDF_AUTH_TOKEN (Optional bearer token forwarded to the host runtime as the agent's role credential).
