\n\n**Public Hosted Server:** [https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp](https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp)\n\n

\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nSeven tools. Five are always on and need no configuration — pure-compute utilities plus an SSRF-free IP lookup. Two probe the server host and stay absent from `tools/list` until you opt in, fail-closed.\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:---|:---|\n| `toolkit_hash_value` | Generate a cryptographic digest (sha256/sha512/sha1/md5), or constant-time-compare a value against an expected digest. |\n| `toolkit_generate_id` | Mint cryptographically-random identifiers — UUIDv4, UUIDv7, or ULID — singly or in batches up to 1000. |\n| `toolkit_generate_qr` | Encode text or a URL into a QR code as SVG markup, base64 PNG, or a terminal-renderable string. |\n| `toolkit_encode_value` | Encode or decode a value across base64, base64url, hex, or URL percent-encoding, in either direction. |\n| `toolkit_geolocate_ip` | Resolve a public IP or hostname to geographic and network metadata — country, city, coordinates, ASN, timezone. |\n| `toolkit_check_network` | **Gated, off by default.** Read-only network diagnostics from the server host — ping, traceroute, TCP connectivity, or egress-IP detection. |\n| `toolkit_check_system` | **Gated, off by default.** Report a facet of the server host's system state — OS, CPU, memory, load average, or network interfaces. |\n\n### `toolkit_hash_value`\n\nGenerate a digest, or constant-time-verify a value against an expected one.\n\n- `operation`: `generate` (lowercase-hex digest) or `compare` (timing-safe check via `timingSafeEqual`)\n- Algorithms: `sha256` (default) and `sha512` for security; `sha1` and `md5` are exposed for checksum and file-integrity compatibility only — never for passwords or signatures\n- `inputEncoding` reads `value` as `utf8` (default), `hex`, or `base64`, so binary blobs skip a decode round-trip\n- Canonical use: match a download against a vendor-published checksum\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_generate_id`\n\nMint cryptographically-random identifiers from the platform CSPRNG — the correct source for IDs that must be unpredictable, unlike model-invented values.\n\n- `type`: `uuid_v4` (random, default), `uuid_v7` (time-ordered, sortable by creation), or `ulid` (26-char Crockford base32, lexicographically sortable)\n- `count` mints a batch up to 1000 in one call; the returned `ids` array always holds exactly `count` values\n- `uuid_v7` and `ulid` batches are monotonic — strictly increasing even within the same millisecond — so `ids` stays in sorted creation order\n- Read-only — minting changes nothing — but never idempotent, so a client won't cache or deduplicate a batch\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_generate_qr`\n\nEncode text or a URL into a QR code.\n\n- `format`: `svg` (inline markup), `png_base64` (raster bytes with `mimeType` and `byteLength`), or `terminal` (Unicode block string)\n- `errorCorrection` (L/M/Q/H) trades data capacity for damage tolerance; `margin` sets the quiet-zone width; `scale` sets pixels per module for raster output\n- The returned `version` (1–40) reflects how dense the encoded data is\n- `png_base64` also arrives as an MCP image content block, so a client reading `content[]` can render the code without decoding `structuredContent`\n- A rendered PNG is bounded at 2048 px per side — `(modules + 2 × margin) × scale` — so a dense symbol at a high `scale` is rejected with a typed `raster_too_large` error naming a scale that fits; `svg` and `terminal` are unbounded\n- `data` is capped at 2953 bytes — the absolute ceiling (version 40, level L, byte mode); usable capacity is lower at higher `errorCorrection` levels, so over-capacity input is rejected with a typed `data_too_large` error rather than a generic failure\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_encode_value`\n\nEncode or decode a value, in either direction.\n\n- `encoding`: `base64`, `base64url` (URL-safe alphabet), `hex`, or `url` (percent-encoding)\n- `operation`: `encode` (raw UTF-8 → encoding) or `decode` (encoded value → text)\n- Malformed decode input returns a typed `decode_failed` error with a recovery hint, not a silent best-effort\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_geolocate_ip`\n\nResolve a public IP or hostname to geographic and network metadata.\n\n- Returns country, region, city, latitude/longitude, ASN, owning organization, and timezone\n- `proxy`, `hosting`, and `mobile` flag when the address is a proxy/VPN/Tor exit, a datacenter network, or a mobile carrier — a `true` on any of them means the coordinates describe infrastructure, not a person. Absent when the provider doesn't report them\n- A hostname is DNS-resolved first; `resolvedIp` echoes the IP actually located, and `source` names the answering provider\n- SSRF-free — the server calls the provider, never the target; the resolved IP is re-checked against private ranges, and private/reserved addresses are rejected (they have no public geolocation)\n- Best-effort and provider-bounded: VPNs, proxies, mobile NAT, and anycast all defeat IP-to-location, accuracy is city-level at best, and absent fields are reported as unknown rather than invented\n- Provider-supplied strings are truncated and stripped of control characters before they reach the response, so registry-controlled text (`org`, `isp`, `as`) cannot flood or format a model's context\n- Keyless by default (ip-api free tier, which is plaintext HTTP — see `TOOLKIT_GEO_BASE_URL`); results are cached in memory by resolved IP under a fixed entry cap\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_check_network`\n\n**Gated** — registered only when `TOOLKIT_ENABLE_NET_DIAGNOSTICS=true`. Read-only network diagnostics from the server host.\n\n- `mode`: `ping` (ICMP round-trip), `traceroute` (hop path to the target), `connectivity` (raw TCP connect to `target` on `port`), or `public_ip` (the host's own egress IP)\n- A host that does not respond is reported as `reachable: false` — a valid result, not an error\n- Diagnoses the **server's** own network, so it is useful on a local or self-hosted deployment; reaching a private/reserved/internal target additionally requires `TOOLKIT_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=true`, which keeps the cloud-metadata endpoint blocked by default\n\n---\n\n### `toolkit_check_system`\n\n**Gated** — registered only when `TOOLKIT_ENABLE_SYSTEM_INFO=true`. Report a facet of the server host's system state, read-only.\n\n- `what`: `os`, `cpu`, `memory`, `load`, or `interfaces`\n- Exactly one facet object is populated per call, matching `what`\n- Describes the host this server runs on, **not** the calling client — meaningful on a local or self-hosted deployment; gated off by default because `os` and `interfaces` disclose host topology and version details\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats\n- Typed error contracts — each fallible tool declares its failure reasons with recovery hints the agent can act on\n- Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports\n\nToolkit-specific:\n\n- Fail-closed gating — the two host-probing tools are absent from `tools/list` unless explicitly enabled, so a hosted instance exposes no SSRF or info-disclosure surface\n- Two-tier network gate — even with diagnostics enabled, private/reserved/loopback/link-local targets (including the cloud-metadata endpoint) stay blocked until a second flag permits them\n- CSPRNG-backed primitives — identifiers and digests come from the platform crypto source, and hash comparison is constant-time via `timingSafeEqual`\n- SSRF-free geolocation — the server calls the provider, then re-checks the DNS-resolved IP against private ranges before the lookup, so a hostname cannot smuggle a request to an internal address\n\nAgent-friendly output:\n\n- Provenance — geolocation echoes the resolved IP and names the answering provider; absent upstream fields are reported as unknown, never invented\n- Down-but-valid results — an unreachable host returns `reachable: false` instead of an error, so callers branch on data, not exception text\n- Typed failure reasons — decode failures, missing digests, and blocked private targets each carry a structured reason plus a next-step recovery hint\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Public Hosted Instance\n\nA public instance is available at `https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp` — no installation required. Point any MCP client at it via Streamable HTTP:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"toolkit-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"streamable-http\",\n \"url\": \"https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Self-Hosted / Local\n\nAdd the following to your MCP client configuration file. No API key is required — the five always-on tools and the default keyless geolocation tier work out of the box.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"toolkit-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"bunx\",\n \"args\": [\"@cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with npx (no Bun required):\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"toolkit-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with Docker:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"toolkit-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"docker\",\n \"args\": [\"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\", \"-e\", \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio\", \"ghcr.io/cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server:latest\"]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nTo enable the gated host-probing tools, add their flags to `env` (or `-e` for Docker):\n\n```json\n\"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"TOOLKIT_ENABLE_NET_DIAGNOSTICS\": \"true\",\n \"TOOLKIT_ENABLE_SYSTEM_INFO\": \"true\"\n}\n```\n\nFor Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:\n\n```sh\nMCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http\n# Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+).\n- No API key needed — geolocation uses the keyless [ip-api](https://ip-api.com/) free tier by default.\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server.git\n```\n\n2. **Navigate into the directory:**\n\n```sh\ncd toolkit-mcp-server\n```\n\n3. **Install dependencies:**\n\n```sh\nbun install\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nEvery variable is optional. Server-specific options are validated at startup via the Zod schema in `src/config/server-config.ts`.\n\n| Variable | Description | Default |\n|:---|:---|:---|\n| `TOOLKIT_ENABLE_NET_DIAGNOSTICS` | Register the gated `toolkit_check_network` tool. Leave off for hosted or shared deployments. | `false` |\n| `TOOLKIT_ENABLE_SYSTEM_INFO` | Register the gated `toolkit_check_system` tool. Meaningful only on a local or self-hosted deployment. | `false` |\n| `TOOLKIT_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` | With network diagnostics on, permit private/reserved/loopback targets. The second explicit gate. | `false` |\n| `TOOLKIT_GEO_API_KEY` | API key for the geolocation endpoint, if it requires one. | none |\n| `TOOLKIT_GEO_BASE_URL` | Base URL for an ip-api-compatible geolocation endpoint. The default is plaintext HTTP — ip-api's HTTPS endpoint is not part of the keyless free tier and answers `403 SSL unavailable for this endpoint` without a paid key. Point this at an HTTPS endpoint (with `TOOLKIT_GEO_API_KEY`) to encrypt the provider request. | `http://ip-api.com` |\n| `TOOLKIT_GEO_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS` | In-memory geolocation cache TTL in seconds. | `3600` |\n| `TOOLKIT_GEO_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN` | Max geolocation requests per minute. | `45` |\n| `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` | Transport: `stdio` or `http`. | `stdio` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_PORT` | Port for the HTTP server. | `3010` |\n| `MCP_AUTH_MODE` | Auth mode: `none`, `jwt`, or `oauth`. | `none` |\n| `MCP_LOG_LEVEL` | Log level (RFC 5424). | `info` |\n| `OTEL_ENABLED` | Enable [OpenTelemetry instrumentation](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/tree/main/docs/telemetry) (spans, metrics, completion logs). | `false` |\n\nSee [`.env.example`](https://github.com/cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server/blob/main/.env.example) for the full list of optional overrides.\n\n## Running the server\n\n### Local development\n\n- **Build and run:**\n\n ```sh\n # One-time build\n bun run rebuild\n\n # Run the built server\n bun run start:stdio\n # or\n bun run start:http\n ```\n\n- **Run checks and tests:**\n\n ```sh\n bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security, changelog sync\n bun run test # Vitest test suite\n bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec\n ```\n\n### Docker\n\n```sh\ndocker build -t toolkit-mcp-server .\ndocker run --rm -e MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http -p 3010:3010 toolkit-mcp-server\n```\n\nThe Dockerfile defaults to HTTP transport, stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/toolkit-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them.\n\n## Project structure\n\n| Directory | Purpose |\n|:---|:---|\n| `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools and inits services, with fail-closed gating for the two host-probing tools. |\n| `src/config` | Server-specific environment variable parsing and validation with Zod. |\n| `src/mcp-server/tools` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`). Seven tools — five always-on, two gated. |\n| `src/services/geo` | Geolocation service — DNS resolution, provider call with retry/backoff, normalization, in-memory cache. |\n| `src/services/network` | Network-diagnostic service plus the shared target validator and private-range classifier. |\n| `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring the `src/` structure. |\n\n## Development guide\n\nSee [`CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`](https://github.com/cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server/blob/main/AGENTS.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:\n\n- Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic\n- Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage\n- Register new tools in the `createApp()` arrays in `src/index.ts`\n- The two host-probing tools register behind their enable-flags; the network target gate validates after DNS resolution — never fabricate a result for an unlocatable or unreachable target\n\n## Contributing\n\nIssues and pull requests are welcome.
