name: Tailor Platform MCP Server
description: >-
  Tailor ships a first-party MCP server inside the tailorctl CLI. It is distributed as
  the npm installer @tailor-platform/tailor-mcp, which downloads the platform-appropriate
  tailorctl binary and runs it in MCP mode. There is no vendor-hosted remote endpoint —
  an operator installs and runs the server themselves, either over stdio or by starting
  the built-in HTTP transport on a host they control.

  note: >-
    Client config published in the repository README uses command "npx" with args
    ["-y", "@tailor-platform/tailor-mcp", "mcp"] and a TAILOR_TOKEN env var. The README
    also documents `npx tailorctl mcp --transport=http --listen=0.0.0.0:9000`, which is
    a SELF-HOSTED HTTP transport the operator starts, not a Tailor-operated URL. No
    endpoint field is recorded because Tailor publishes none.

  note: >-
    Tool names and descriptions are the provider's own published list. Full inputSchema
    was NOT captured: the server is stdio-only and requires a Tailor account plus a
    tpp_ personal access token before tools/list will answer, so live introspection is
    auth-gated. No schemas were invented.
live_introspection:
  attempted: false
  reason: >-
    No remote endpoint exists to POST tools/list to. The server runs locally under an
    authenticated tailorctl session, which this pipeline does not hold.

    The npm installer is the stale surface. It has not been republished since 2025-04-14
    even though the binary it installs and the repository behind it are both current —
    so `npx -y @tailor-platform/tailor-mcp` resolves to a 16-month-old installer script.
