How to connect Guardian MCP Server
Guardian MCP Server runs locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: @cyanheads/guardian-mcp-server version 0.1.4. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Node.js; clients usually start it with npx — the usual command is npx -y @cyanheads/guardian-mcp-server@0.1.4; the entry names bun as the runtime. It reads these environment variables: GUARDIAN_API_KEY (required) and MCP_LOG_LEVEL; set them in the client's configuration for this server.
Guardian MCP Server runs locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: @cyanheads/guardian-mcp-server version 0.1.4. The package starts a local server that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP; the client then connects to it by URL (the entry names bun as the runtime). It reads these environment variables: GUARDIAN_API_KEY (required), MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_PORT, MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH, MCP_AUTH_MODE and MCP_LOG_LEVEL; set them in the client's configuration for this server.
In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):
{
"mcpServers": {
"guardian-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@cyanheads/guardian-mcp-server@0.1.4"
],
"env": {
"GUARDIAN_API_KEY": "<value>",
"MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "<value>"
}
}
}
