curl --request POST \
--url https://example.com/v1/mcp/endpoints \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "endpointId": "example", "name": "example", "transport": "stdio", "config": { "transport": "stdio", "command": "example", "args": [ "example" ], "env": { "additionalProperty": "example" } }, "secretRef": { "envName": "example", "name": "example" }, "auth": { "scheme": "basic", "username": "example", "secretRef": { "envName": "example", "name": "example" } }, "instructions": "example", "metadata": {}, "sendTraceparent": true, "scopeKind": "tenant", "scopeId": "example" }'

Body is a full MCPEndpoint plus the scope to register it in (scopeKind + scopeId); authorization checks that scope. Server validates the closed transport enum + the config.transport matches transport guardrail + per-variant required fields (command for stdio; url for http-sse / streamable-http), and refuses unknown fields. secretRef names a secret in the deployment’s store — plaintext secrets never cross the wire — and never a model provider’s key (400 provider-key-refused). Where each secret it names is read is recorded on it now (secretScopes): the first of its own scope, its project’s org and the tenant that has the secret and that the caller administers, else the broadest they administer; the runtime reads it there only. A deployment with KINDGI_TENANT_HOST_ACCESS=deployed (the default outside development) refuses a stdio endpoint, which would run a command on the server’s host: 403 host-access-denied.

Idempotency-Key
string
>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered 409 idempotency-key-in-flight with Retry-After, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets 409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5).

transport
required

MCP transport variant. stdio — local subprocess (spawn a command). http-sse — the older MCP HTTP+SSE transport (separate POST + SSE endpoints). streamable-http — the Streamable HTTP transport (single endpoint, session id via header).

string
secretRef

The secret an MCP endpoint authenticates with: a name in the deployment’s secrets store, resolved at the endpoint’s tenant scope by the runtime (the shape webhooks and providers use). As the endpoint’s own secretRef, it is sent as its bearer; inside auth, it is the scheme’s password, client secret or header value. The endpoint keeps only this reference.

/^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,62}$/
name
required
string
>= 1 characters <= 256 characters
auth
One of: discriminator: scheme

HTTP Basic: the runtime sends Authorization: Basic base64(<username>:<secret>), with the secret secretRef names (a WordPress Application Password, for one).

object
scheme
required
Allowed value: basic
username
required

The user name. Not a secret, and without :.

string

As the endpoint’s own secretRef, it is sent as its bearer; inside auth, it is the scheme’s password, client secret or header value. The endpoint keeps only this reference.

Optional caller-defined metadata bag.

sendTraceparent

Send the W3C traceparent of the run calling a tool to this endpoint, as a request header, so the server’s logs can be matched to the run. Ids only, never content. Default false. HTTP transports only: true on a stdio endpoint is refused (invalid-mcp-endpoint, reason invalid-send-traceparent). An older runtime ignores it and sends none.

boolean
scopeKind
required

Discriminator for the ?scopeKind + ?scopeId + ?inherit triplet. Tenant carries no id (implicit from session); org/project require scopeId.

string
Allowed values: tenant org project
scopeId

Required when scopeKind is org or project; absent for tenant (implicit from the session).

string
>= 1 characters

MCP endpoint registered.
