Ethora MCP CLI

The MCP server for Ethora, an open-source chat and messaging platform with a built-in AI agent framework. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code and autonomous agents create Ethora apps, chat rooms, users and AI agents, post messages, index RAG sources and produce website chat-widget embeds, all through tool calls. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with chat api, ethora and function calling and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dappros-ethora-mcp-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ethora/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
