# Port MCP server

> Query and act on your Port developer portal catalog, scorecards and actions from an AI assistant using natural language.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/port-io
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.port.io/v1` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Developer Tools](https://mcp.tc/c/developer-tools)
- Vendor: Port
- Homepage: <https://docs.port.io/agent-management/port-mcp-server/installation/>
- Repository: <https://github.com/port-labs/remote-mcp-server>

## About

Connects an AI assistant or agent to your Port developer portal. You can ask questions about the software catalog, check scorecards and trigger actions in natural language, from an IDE, an LLM client or an agent platform.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.port.io/v1, with a US region endpoint at https://mcp.us.port.io/v1. Users sign in with OAuth. The documentation also describes client-credentials authentication for local and CI use. A Port account is required.

## What it can do

- Query the Port software catalog in natural language
- Review scorecards for your services
- Run Port actions from your assistant
- Use from IDEs, LLM clients and agent platforms

## Example prompts

- "Which services in the Port catalog have no owner assigned?"
- "Show the scorecard status for the payments service."
- "List the self-service actions I can run in Port."
- "Which services fail our production readiness scorecard?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http port-io https://mcp.port.io/v1
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **port-io** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Port sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Port** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.port.io/v1
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Port asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Port&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.port.io%2Fv1>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.port.io/v1` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Port asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.port.io/v1` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Port to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=port-io&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5wb3J0LmlvL3YxIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "port-io": {
      "url": "https://mcp.port.io/v1"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=port-io&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.port.io%2Fv1%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"port-io","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.port.io/v1"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "port-io": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.port.io/v1"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "port-io": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.port.io/v1"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add port-io --url https://mcp.port.io/v1
codex mcp login port-io
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.port-io]
url = "https://mcp.port.io/v1"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http port-io https://mcp.port.io/v1
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth port-io` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "port-io": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.port.io/v1"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.port.io/v1`.
