About this resource

Content

MaxKB MCP Server is the MCP endpoint built into MaxKB v2 for exposing a published MaxKB application as a tool. The source-backed handler implements MCP initialization, tool listing, and tool calls over the chat API path, then routes each call into a MaxKB chat session for the application tied to the supplied API key.

Use it when a team already runs MaxKB for enterprise agents, RAG workflows, or knowledge-base-backed applications and wants Claude to call one reviewed, published MaxKB application through an MCP client.

Source Review

These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-06. Prefer the live repository, v2 README, license, URL routing, MCP view, MCP tool handler, and application API key sources for current behavior.

Features

  • Expose a published MaxKB application as a single MCP tool.
  • Authenticate MCP calls with an active MaxKB application API key.
  • Return MCP server metadata with the maxkb-mcp server name.
  • List a generated agent_<application-prefix> tool using the application name and description.
  • Accept a message input and send it into a new MaxKB chat session.
  • Stream the MaxKB response back to the MCP client as text.
  • Keep the MCP tool scoped to the published application associated with the API key.
  • Follow the configured MaxKB chat path, with /chat/api/mcp as the default route in the reviewed source.

Installation

Deploy MaxKB, review the application that should be callable by Claude, publish that application, and create an active application API key for it. Then configure the MCP client with the MaxKB MCP endpoint and bearer token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maxkb": {
      "url": "https://<maxkb-host>/chat/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <maxkb-application-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the deployment overrides MaxKB's CHAT_PATH, replace /chat with the configured chat path before connecting the MCP client.

Use Cases

  • Let Claude query a reviewed MaxKB knowledge-base application.
  • Route support questions into a MaxKB customer-service agent.
  • Call a MaxKB workflow application from Claude while keeping the agent configuration centralized in MaxKB.
  • Test a published MaxKB application from an MCP client before widening access.
  • Provide one scoped application tool instead of exposing the entire MaxKB admin surface.
  • Use MaxKB as the RAG and workflow runtime while Claude handles conversation planning.

Safety and Privacy

Treat the MaxKB MCP endpoint as access to the published application behind the API key. The application can retrieve knowledge-base material, call configured workflow steps, use model providers, and return tool output selected by the MaxKB app design. Review the application, knowledge sources, function tools, model providers, and workflow permissions before enabling MCP clients.

Protect application API keys like production credentials. MCP transcripts, chat history, retrieved passages, model payloads, workflow outputs, application ids, URLs, logs, and generated answers may contain sensitive business or personal data. Use TLS, least-privilege applications, key rotation, audit logs, and redaction before sharing prompts, screenshots, or debug traces.

Duplicate Check

No 1Panel-dev/MaxKB, MaxKB MCP, maxkb-mcp, MaxKB agent tool, or matching source URL entry was found in content/mcp or README.md. Existing RAG, knowledge-base, and workflow MCP entries do not cover MaxKB's built-in source MCP endpoint for published MaxKB applications.

Safety notesMaxKB checks the Authorization bearer token against active application API keys and only exposes published applications. The MCP handler exposes one tool named from the published application id prefix and sends each tool call message into a new MaxKB chat session. The published MaxKB application may retrieve knowledge-base content, call configured workflows or functions, use connected model providers, and trigger any tools enabled for that application. Do not expose test applications, broad internal knowledge bases, high-privilege workflows, or unreviewed function tools to MCP clients. Use least-privilege application keys, rotate keys regularly, avoid default deployment credentials, and require human approval before workflows that can change external systems.The MCP server sends Claude's retrieval queries to the Agentset API using the configured API key and namespace. The `knowledge-base-retrieve` tool can return up to 100 results per call and can rerank results by relevance. Namespace and tenant selection control which indexed documents are searchable; review them before connecting a shared agent. API keys should be scoped, rotated, and stored only in the MCP server environment or a secret manager. Custom tool descriptions can influence when the model calls the retrieval tool, so review them before use in production workflows.Graphlit MCP Server can ingest files, web pages, messages, posts, emails, issues, text, memory, feeds, crawls, and connected SaaS data into a Graphlit project. Tools can create or delete contents, feeds, collections, conversations, specifications, and workflows, and can configure project defaults when explicitly requested. Web crawling, web search, screenshots, podcast search, feed scheduling, publishing, and connector operations may contact third-party services and process external content. Generated audio and image publishing can call configured model/provider services and consume credits or quota. Require confirmation before ingesting private repositories, emails, drive files, Slack/Teams/Discord data, customer documents, large crawls, generated media, deletion operations, or project configuration changes.Cyanheads Obsidian MCP can read, list, search, create, append, patch, replace, delete, tag, and edit frontmatter in the configured vault through the Local REST API plugin. The server defaults to full-vault access unless read paths, write paths, or read-only mode are configured. Set `OBSIDIAN_READ_ONLY=true` for research-only workflows, then narrow writes with `OBSIDIAN_WRITE_PATHS` before allowing note edits. Delete operations are permanent in the vault and should require human review even when the MCP host supports destructive-tool prompts. Command-palette tools are disabled unless `OBSIDIAN_ENABLE_COMMANDS=true`; command execution can trigger opaque or destructive Obsidian plugin behavior. Streamable HTTP deployments should use JWT or OAuth auth before being exposed beyond a trusted local machine.
Privacy notesTool calls can expose user prompts, chat transcripts, application names, application descriptions, retrieved knowledge-base snippets, workflow outputs, and model-provider payloads. Knowledge bases may contain uploaded documents, crawled web pages, customer support material, internal runbooks, or other sensitive enterprise content. Application API keys, bearer headers, MCP URLs, request bodies, response text, logs, and MaxKB chat history should be treated as sensitive operational data. Redact prompts, retrieved passages, generated answers, application ids, API keys, and model-provider traces before sharing logs or screenshots.Retrieved chunks can include private documents, product specs, policies, support content, internal procedures, historical project information, or customer-specific data. Retrieval queries, namespace IDs, tenant IDs, document chunks, citations, and tool outputs may be visible to the MCP client, model provider, Agentset logs, and application telemetry. Tenant IDs are useful for data segregation, but incorrect tenant or namespace configuration can expose the wrong knowledge base. Do not paste API keys, namespace IDs, tenant IDs, or retrieved private chunks into shared issue reports, screenshots, or repository files.Graphlit environment IDs, organization IDs, JWT secrets, project IDs, resource IDs, connector tokens, URLs, files, emails, messages, issues, transcripts, screenshots, memories, conversations, usage records, and retrieved sources can be exposed to the MCP client. Ingested documents may be extracted to Markdown; audio and video may be transcribed; images and pages may be described or screenshot. Connected services such as Slack, Discord, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Notion, Dropbox, Box, Reddit, and Twitter/X can expose private workspace content. Usage records can include request, response, variables, token counts, bytes, units, and credit charges for project operations. Keep Graphlit secrets in local MCP client configuration only, and review retention, deletion, and connector policies before ingesting regulated or customer data.Vault notes, headings, block references, frontmatter, tags, file metadata, outgoing links, search queries, command names, plugin status, and edit history may be exposed to the MCP client and model provider. API keys, local plugin endpoints, HTTP auth settings, path allowlists, logs, OpenTelemetry traces, and Docker environment variables can reveal private vault structure or credentials. Tag listing is vault-wide in upstream behavior and can reveal tag names outside narrowed read paths. Notes may contain personal journals, client work, credentials, meeting notes, research plans, health data, or other sensitive knowledge-base content.
