Tembo MCP Server enables you to connect Tembo Cloud API capabilities with your MCP client. It runs locally as a dedicated server compatible with Claude Desktop and similar MCP clients, handling authentication and API interactions securely via your Tembo Cloud API key.

How to use

You use Tembo MCP Server by running it as a local process and pointing your MCP client at it. When configured, your client can request Tembo Cloud API actions through this server, using the provided API key for authentication. Ensure you keep your API key secure and only load trusted configurations into your MCP client.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Node.js installed on your machine and access to Tembo Cloud with an API key. Optionally, if you plan to work with Claude Desktop, have Claude Desktop installed and ready to accept MCP configurations.

Option A: Install via Smithery (recommended for automated setup)

npx -y @smithery/cli install @tembo-io/mcp-server-tembo --client claude

Option B: Install and run locally from source

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/tembo-io/mcp-server-tembo.git

2. Load the MCP server into Claude Desktop by adding a new MCP server configuration with an API key for Tembo Cloud. Use a JSON config like the one below to point Claude Desktop to your local server.

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"mcp-server-tembo": {
			"command": "node",
			"env": {
				"TEMBO_API_KEY": "your_tembo_api_key"
			},
			"args": ["/absolute/path/to/cloned/repo/mcp-server-tembo/dist/index.js"]
		}
	}
}

Additional notes

Option C: Hosted version will be available in the future.
