Scorecard TypeScript MCP Server
It is generated with Stainless.
Installation
Direct invocation
You can run the MCP Server directly via npx:
export SCORECARD_API_KEY="My API Key"
export SCORECARD_ENVIRONMENT="production"
npx -y scorecard-ai-mcp@latest
Via MCP Client
There is a partial list of existing clients at modelcontextprotocol.io. If you already
have a client, consult their documentation to install the MCP server.
For clients with a configuration JSON, it might look something like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scorecard_ai_api": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "scorecard-ai-mcp"],
"env": {
"SCORECARD_API_KEY": "My API Key",
"SCORECARD_ENVIRONMENT": "production"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
If you use Cursor, you can install the MCP server by using the button below. You will need to set your environment variables
in Cursor's mcp.json, which can be found in Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP > New MCP Server.

VS Code
If you use MCP, you can install the MCP server by clicking the link below. You will need to set your environment variables
in VS Code's mcp.json, which can be found via Command Palette > MCP: Open User Configuration.
Open VS Code
Claude Code
If you use Claude Code, you can install the MCP server by running the command below in your terminal. You will need to set your
environment variables in Claude Code's .claude.json, which can be found in your home directory.
claude mcp add scorecard_ai_mcp_api --env SCORECARD_API_KEY="My API Key" -- npx -y scorecard-ai-mcp
Code Mode
This MCP server is built on the "Code Mode" tool scheme. In this MCP Server,
your agent will write code against the TypeScript SDK, which will then be executed in an
isolated sandbox. To accomplish this, the server will expose two tools to your agent:
-
The first tool is a docs search tool, which can be used to generically query for
documentation about your API/SDK.
-
The second tool is a code tool, where the agent can write code against the TypeScript SDK.
The code will be executed in a sandbox environment without web or filesystem access. Then,
anything the code returns or prints will be returned to the agent as the result of the
tool call.
Using this scheme, agents are capable of performing very complex tasks deterministically
and repeatably.
Usage Examples
Below are examples of prompts you can give to an AI assistant with this MCP server configured.
Example 1: Search Documentation
Prompt:
"How do I create a testset using the Scorecard TypeScript SDK?"
Tool Called: search_docs
{
"query": "create testset",
"language": "typescript"
}
The assistant searches SDK documentation and returns relevant code examples and API references.
Example 2: List Projects and Testsets
Prompt:
"List all my Scorecard projects and their testsets."
Tool Called: execute
async function run(client) {
for await (const project of client.projects.list()) {
console.log(`Project: ${project.id} - ${project.name}`);
for await (const testset of client.testsets.list(project.id)) {
console.log(` Testset: ${testset.id} - ${testset.name}`);
}
}
}
Example 3: Create an Evaluation Run
Prompt:
"Create a new evaluation run for project '314' with testset '246' and metrics '789' and '101'."
Tool Called: execute
async function run(client) {
const run = await client.runs.create('314', {
testsetId: '246',
metricIds: ['789', '101'],
});
console.log('Run created:', run.id);
console.log('View at:', run.url);
return run;
}
For more SDK code examples, see the examples directory.
Running remotely
Launching the client with --transport=http launches the server as a remote server using Streamable HTTP transport. The --port setting can choose the port it will run on, and the --socket setting allows it to run on a Unix socket.
Authorization can be provided via the Authorization header using the Bearer scheme.
Additionally, authorization can be provided via the following headers:
x-scorecard-api-key | apiKey | ApiKeyAuth |
A configuration JSON for this server might look like this, assuming the server is hosted at http://localhost:3000:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scorecard_ai_api": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <auth value>"
}
}
}
}
Privacy & Data Handling
This MCP server transmits data to external services to provide its functionality. By using this server, you acknowledge the following:
Data Transmitted
-
Code Execution (execute tool): When you use the execute tool, the code you provide is sent to the Stainless API (api.stainless.com) for execution in a sandboxed environment. Your Scorecard API key is also transmitted to authenticate requests made by the executed code.
-
Documentation Search (search_docs tool): Search queries are sent to the Stainless API to retrieve relevant SDK documentation.
API Credentials
- Your
SCORECARD_API_KEY is transmitted to the Stainless code execution sandbox to allow the executed code to make authenticated requests to the Scorecard API.
- API keys are sent over HTTPS and are not logged by this MCP server.
Data Retention
Security Recommendations
- Use environment variables to provide API keys rather than hardcoding them.
- When running the server remotely, ensure TLS is enabled and use OAuth 2.0 or secure token-based authentication.
- Rotate API keys periodically and revoke unused keys.
