Micah Boswell MCP Server

micah-boswell-mcp

A public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that answers questions about Micah Boswell, product design leader in Dallas, Texas. Any MCP-capable agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others) connects to one URL and gets his facts from his own pages.

• Endpoint: https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/mcp (streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth)
• Landing page: https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/
• Registry manifest: https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/server.json (io.github.socraticstatic/micah-boswell), also at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
• Plain text: https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/llms.txt
• Liveness: https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/healthz

Tools

Resources: micah://llms.txt, micah://llms-full.txt, micah://facts.json.

Connect

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http micah-boswell https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/mcp

Claude Desktop / claude.ai: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the URL.

ChatGPT: Settings, Connectors, Create (developer mode), paste the URL, no auth.

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "micah-boswell": { "url": "https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/mcp" } } }

api/mcp.js          POST /mcp: fresh stateless StreamableHTTPServerTransport per request
api/healthz.js      GET /healthz
lib/server.js       buildServer(): tools + resources
lib/data.js         loads data/
lib/search.js       paragraph search
lib/poem.js         live poem fetch + CreativeWork JSON-LD parse
data/               bundled sources: llms.txt, llms-full.txt, conscious-shell-llms.txt, photography.json, facts.json
public/             landing page, llms.txt, server.json, icons, robots.txt, sitemap.xml
scripts/dev.mjs     local server mirroring the Vercel routing

Data sources: https://micahboswell.design/llms.txt, https://micahboswell.design/llms-full.txt, https://conscious-shell.com/llms.txt, Unsplash stats for @micahboswell. facts.json is curated from those files only. Its career keys (work.roles, awards, certifications.list, education) are generated by node scripts/sync-career.mjs from the same career record the hub's work list comes from; never edit them by hand. To refresh the rest, re-fetch them into data/, update facts.json, and run the tests, which enforce the content rules (no em dashes, no off-limits topics).

Transport note: mcp-handler 2.x requires the SDK v2 package and 1.x is Next.js-bound, so this server hand-rolls StreamableHTTPServerTransport from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.x in stateless JSON mode, the same shape as the gpsail-mcp function.

Develop

npm install
npm test          # vitest: tool handlers, HTTP transport, content rules
npm run dev       # http://localhost:3939  (MCP at /mcp)

Deploy

vercel --prod --yes

Release

One version lives in three places and the tests fail if they disagree: server.json (root, read by mcp-publisher; public/server.json is the served copy), package.json, and VERSION in lib/data.js (what the live server reports).

1. Bump all three. Update data/ if the facts changed and lastUpdated in facts.json.
2. npm test, then vercel --prod --yes, then confirm https://micah-boswell-mcp.vercel.app/healthz reports the new version.
3. git tag v<version> && git push origin main v<version>.

.github/workflows/publish-mcp.yml then publishes the card to the official MCP Registry (io.github.socraticstatic/micah-boswell) over GitHub OIDC. It refuses a tag that disagrees with the card or with what the live server reports. .github/workflows/ci.yml runs the tests on every push.

Listings: official registry, Smithery, Glama. The card is also served at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
