Description: Tools that enable LLMs to interact directly with the engine API.

Auth: API Key

PyPI VersionLicensePython VersionsWheel StatusDownloads

EngineApi is a Starter MCP Server: each tool mirrors one HTTP endpoint and offers LLMs a way to interact with the low-level API.


Differently from Optimized MCP Servers, Starter tools are heavily influenced by the original API design, which is not usually optimized for LLM usage. For this reason, we recommend thoroughly evaluating the tools with your Agents or chatbots before using it in production. Read more about Optimized vs Starter tools.

The EngineApi MCP Server offers a comprehensive suite of tools for managing authentication providers, secrets, and worker configurations. Users and LLMs can perform a variety of actions, including:
