jetapi-mcp-server.mcpb from the latest release.Requires Node.js 18.17 or newer. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json) and add:
Restart Claude Desktop.
The server needs JETAPI_TOKEN, so pass it when adding:
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
Add to .vscode/mcp.json — VS Code will prompt for the token and keep it out of the file:
The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.jetapi/jetapi-mcp-server, so clients and catalogs that read the registry can install it directly.
Any client that supports stdio servers:
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
JETAPI_TOKEN | yes | — | Bearer token from the JetAPI dashboard |
JETAPI_BASE_URL | no | https://api.jetapi.io | API host |
JETAPI_DEBUG | no | 0 | 1 logs every request to stderr |
dispatch_routing is an ordered list of channels. JetAPI tries them one by one and moves to the next channel only if delivery through the previous one fails. Without it, the default routing from your JetAPI dashboard is used.
| Value | Channel | Recipient |
|---|---|---|
whatsapp | phone or whatsapp_lid | |
tdlib | Personal Telegram account | phone, username or tdlib_user_id (negative ID = group chat) |
telegram | Telegram Bot | phone |
sms | SMS | phone |
notify | VK / OK notifications | phone |
max | MAX messenger | phone |
