OpenRuna MCP Server

Connect AI agents to the OpenRuna catalog via Model Context Protocol — search, traverse, and enrich the resource graph.

OpenRuna ships a stdio MCP server that exposes the catalog to any MCP-compatible agent. This is OpenRuna's own server — not the third-party connectors listed on /connectors.

Connect your agent: step-by-step MCP setup, registration, and API key flow lives on /connectors#openruna-mcp.

Install

Add to your MCP client config (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openruna": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "mcp/server.ts"],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://openruna:openruna@localhost:5439/openruna",
        "NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL": "https://www.openruna.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

vs. /connectors

/connectors lists external MCP servers (GitHub, Stripe, etc.). The OpenRuna MCP server documented here reads and writes this platform's resource graph.
