What the publisher says
From the Dapr MCP Server repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
dapr-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Dapr's building blocks as tools for AI agents.
<!-- TODO(badges): add CI / release / Go version / license badges once first tag is cut -->
What it is
dapr-mcp-server is a Go MCP server that fronts a Dapr sidecar and hands AI agents a curated set of tools over every Dapr building block: state, pub/sub, secrets, service invocation, actors, bindings, distributed locks, cryptography, and conversation components. Tools register dynamically from the live component set — if your deployment has no pub/sub broker, the pub/sub tools aren't exposed.
Two transports are supported: stdio for local IDE integrations (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) and streamable HTTP for remote or shared deployments. Every tool call is annotated with OpenTelemetry spans, metrics, and optional log export; requests can be gated by OIDC, SPIFFE, Dapr Sentry, or a hybrid of the three.
Full documentation lives at docs.dapr.io / developing-ai / mcp.
Quick start
Run the binary next to a Dapr sidecar with dapr run (install it from Install):
dapr init
# stdio, for local MCP clients that launch the server themselves
dapr run --app-id dapr-mcp-server --resources-path resources -- dapr-mcp-server
# streamable HTTP, for remote clients
dapr run --app-id dapr-mcp-server --resources-path resources -- dapr-mcp-server --http :8080With --http, connect any MCP client to http://localhost:8080/. The container image is meant for Kubernetes, where the Dapr sidecar injector adds the sidecar through the dapr.io/enabled: "true" and dapr.io/app-id pod annotations. For the complete walk-through (components, auth, OTEL, verification), see the getting started guide.
Install
The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.dapr/dapr-mcp-server, so MCP clients that browse the registry can install it as a container.
Configuration
The configuration guide has the full environment variable reference.
Logs are written as JSON to stderr, so they never mix with the stdio transport on stdout. /readyz returns 503 while the Dapr sidecar is unreachable.
Settings specific to the HTTP transport:
