TurnstileOPS MCP server

Read-only catalog, vendor, comparison, BIM, and specifier-resource tools for approved MCP clients. The public runtime endpoint is not active until the authenticated HTTPS service lands in issue #905; use this page to prepare clients and request access.

Request API key Codex example

Install

Use the committed client examples as templates. Replace placeholder hosts and environment variable names only after an operator issues a client id and bearer token.

Request

Send one request per workspace, integration, or partner. Include organization, client type, expected volume, required tools, and a rotation contact.

The form opens prefilled with the subject MCP API Key Request.

Acceptable use

Use the tools for read-only product discovery, vendor research, comparisons, BIM discovery, and public specifier-resource lookup.
Do not scrape beyond documented tool responses, bypass rate limits, submit quote requests through MCP, or infer private inventory or pricing.
Preserve provenance notes and treat public source data as decision support, not professional design, code, or procurement approval.

Troubleshooting

Auth: verify the bearer token, client id header, and source-channel header match the issued client record.
Rate limits: reduce concurrency and ask an operator to review the client status and quota.
Schema discovery: refresh the MCP client metadata after tool catalog changes and check that only approved read-only tools are enabled.
