BMC Helix MCP Server

The BMC Helix MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SRE operations using BMC Helix ITSM REST APIs. It is implemented in TypeScript, powered by Express, and optionally configurable with HTTPS/TLS.

For details on releases and updates, see the Changelog.

Project Features

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support: Built with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to seamlessly integrate with LLMs and coding assistants.
  • Form & CI Operations: Wraps native BMC Helix ITSM REST API calls for fetching and paginating table data, CMDB CI querying by ID or Name, tasks, associations, and relationship checking.
  • Express + HTTPS: Supports standard HTTP as well as secure HTTPS with complete TLS certificate validation configurations.
  • Node v24 and modern ES Module structure.

Directory Structure

  • src/mcp-server.ts: Fully-typed, rate-limited MCP Server application featuring express transport and tool mappings.
  • certs/: Holds local client and server CA keys, configurations, and scripts for secure TLS enablement.
  • tests/: Integration tests using a mock Helix Server to validate server endpoints, authorization, and tool schemas.

Registered MCP Tools

The server registers the following high-value tools:

  1. helixgettabledata**: Retrieve records from any BMC Helix form (e.g., HPD:IncidentInterface, CHG:Infrastructure Change) with optional query filters and record limits.
  2. helixgettabledatapaginated: Automatically fetches and aggregates multi-page records from a form using offset-based pagination.
  3. helixgetcibyid: Get a configuration item's attributes from BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement by its unique entry Request ID.
  4. helixgetcibyname: Find CMDB records by name.
  5. helixgetchangerequesttasks: Retrieves children task lists from TMS:Task for a given Change ID (CRQ...).
  6. helixgetprobleminvestigationid: Finds the associated Problem ID for a given incident ticket.
  7. helixgetchangeconfigurationitems: Finds AST configuration items associated with a Change ID.

Installation & Setup

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your details:
cp .env.example .env
  1. Configuration Settings in .env:
  • HELIXAPIURL: BMC Helix Entry level URL endpoint.
  • HELIXTOKENURL: JWT Login payload URL endpoint.
  • HELIXUSERID / HELIXPASSWORD: Helix API Credentials.
  • MCP_PORT: Web server running port (defaults to 3000).
  • MCPAUTHTOKEN: Optional API Authorization Bearer token to secure the MCP endpoint from external entities.
  • MCPTLSENABLED: Set to true to enable TLS on the express listener.
  1. Retrieve TLS Certificates from BMC Helix:

If your BMC Helix instance uses self-signed, internal, or custom CA certificates, you can automatically retrieve the certificate chain using the helper script:

./certs/helix-certs.sh https://your-helix-instance.onbmc.com

This retrieves the website's certificate chain via openssl and saves it to certs/helix-certs.pem. Then, reference it in your .env configuration:

HELIX_CERT_PATH=./certs/helix-certs.pem
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the application:
npm run build
  1. Start the server (Dev / Production):
  • Production Mode: npm run start
  • Development Mode: npm run dev

Testing

The project includes an integration test suite implemented with Node's native test runner (via --test). It runs against a mock BMC Helix server environment to validate:

  • Server initialization & health status checks.
  • API authentication and security authorization filters (e.g., verifying MCPAUTHTOKEN behavior).
  • Tool definitions and structural query capability.
  • Exact end-to-end flow execution for tool retrievals (helixgettabledata, helixgettabledata_paginated, CI queries, and Change/Problem relationships).
