MCP Toolbox is a stdio MCP server that integrates with tollbit's backend, designed for clients expecting standard IO servers.

MCP Toolbox

Docs GitHub Discord

A stdio Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges Tollbit's Dynamic Toolbox to stdio-based MCP clients.

Why Use This?

  • Plug-and-play for MCP clients: Works out-of-the-box with clients that expect stdio MCP servers (e.g., Claude Desktop).
  • Dynamic tools from the cloud: Tools are fetched and executed via Tollbit’s backend; nothing to install locally.
  • Simple and secure: Authenticate with an API key and optionally target a specific toolbox with --toolbox-id.

Installation

No install required to run:

npx @tollbit/mcp-toolbox --api-key <your_api_key>

Quick Start

  • Run the bridge locally (any MCP stdio client):
npx @tollbit/mcp-toolbox --api-key <your_api_key> [--toolbox-id <id>]

Optional host override:

TB_MCP_HOST=https://mcp.tollbit.dev/ npx @tollbit/mcp-toolbox --api-key <your_api_key>
  • Claude Desktop (macOS) one-liner:
npx -y @tollbit/mcp-toolbox install_claude --api-key <your_api_key> [--toolbox-id <id>]

This adds @tollbit/mcp-toolbox to Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json with your API key.

Key Features

  • Stdio MCP bridge that proxies tools/list and tools/call to Tollbit's dynamic server.
  • Claude-safe tool names: Sanitizes tool names to alphanumeric/underscore for compatibility.
  • Streaming HTTP transport with API key auth.
  • Keep-alive and graceful shutdown for reliability.
  • macOS installer for Claude Desktop configuration.

CLI Options

  • --api-key (required): Your Tollbit API key (get it from the developer portal).
  • --toolbox-id (optional): ID of the toolbox to use. Defaults to mcp.

Environment Variables

  • TB_MCP_HOST (optional): Base URL for the dynamic MCP server. Default: https://mcp.tollbit.dev/

Documentation

Common Use Cases

  • Claude Desktop integration: Quickly add a dynamic MCP server using the install_claude script.
  • Custom MCP client bridge: Use as a stdio server process to access Tollbit-hosted tools.
  • Multi-toolbox workflows: Switch contexts with --toolbox-id to test or target different tool sets.

Requirements

  • Node.js: 18+ recommended (ESM, top-level import support).
  • macOS: Required only for the install_claude helper script.
  • Tollbit API key: Obtain from the developer portal at https://hack.tollb.it/
  • Network access to TB_MCP_HOST (default https://mcp.tollbit.dev/).
