This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Unleash feature flag management system. It allows AI agents to manage feature flags through the Unleash API.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a specification for enabling AI models to interact with external tools and data sources. This server implements the MCP protocol for Unleash, allowing AI assistants to manage feature flags programmatically.

Installation

You can install the package from npm:

npm install -g @ylin6/unleash-ff-mcp-server

Or run it directly using npx:

npx @ylin6/unleash-ff-mcp-server

Examples

Example conversation with Cursor/Claude:

You: Show me all the feature flags in the 'dashboard' project

Claude: I'll fetch all the feature flags in the 'dashboard' project for you.
[Claude uses the getFeatures tool with projectId='dashboard']

Claude: Here are all the feature flags in the 'website' project:
- new-homepage (type: release)
