ScalePad MCP

The ScalePad Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets compatible AI clients connect directly to the ScalePad API reference and, when configured with authentication, make live API calls — all from within your favorite AI-powered editor or assistant.

What the ScalePad MCP server can do

The ScalePad MCP server is powered by ReadMe and exposes the following capabilities to supported AI clients.

OpenAPI Tools

list-endpointsList available API paths, methods, and summaries

get-endpointInspect a specific endpoint — parameters, descriptions, and security requirements

search-specsSearch API paths, operations, and schemas

execute-requestMake a live API call

list-specsList available API specs with their titles

get-server-variablesReturn server variables when defined

Documentation Tools

searchFull-text search across all guide pages, returning matches with titles and IDs

fetchRetrieve the full content of a specific guide page by ID

Authentication

Required for live API calls

For live API execution via execute-request, configure your MCP client to forward the authentication header:

x-api-key: YOUR_SCALEPAD_API_KEY

When configured, this header is automatically forwarded to live API calls.

Client setup

Choose your AI client below and follow the setup instructions.

Add to~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scalepad": {
      "url": "https://developer.scalepad.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "SCALEPAD_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing your MCP setup

Once configured, try any of these prompts in your AI client to verify the connection:

"List all available ScalePad API endpoints"

Discovers API pathslist-endpoints

"Show me the details for the List Hardware Assets endpoint"

Inspects an endpointget-endpoint

"Search the ScalePad API for anything related to clients"

Searches specssearch-specs

"Get me a list of all my clients"

Makes a live API callexecute-request

"Search the ScalePad docs for authentication"

Searches guidessearch

"Fetch the MCP setup guide"

Retrieves a guide pagefetch

Notes

Keep in mind

•For authenticated API execution, make sure your client is forwarding the required ScalePad auth headers.

•If you connect to a version-specific ReadMe branch, documentation search tools may not be available on that branch-specific MCP URL.
