Settlegrid Discovery

What is Settlegrid Discovery?

Settlegrid Discovery is an MCP server that makes any SettleGrid-registered tool automatically discoverable across multiple channels, including the official MCP Registry, Smithery, Glama, and the SettleGrid Showcase. It is designed for developers who want their AI tools to be found and used by AI agents natively via the MCP protocol.

How to use Settlegrid Discovery?

Add the server configuration to your MCP client’s mcpServers object with the command npx @settlegrid/discovery. No further configuration is required; the server will expose your active tools for discovery.

FAQ from Settlegrid Discovery

Do I need to run this server to have my tool discovered?

No. The server is one of several discovery channels; your tool is also discoverable via the Showcase, Discovery API, RSS feed, and third‑party registries even without running this MCP server.

What are the runtime dependencies for Settlegrid Discovery?

It requires Node.js and npm (or npx) to execute the package. No database or external services are needed beyond a network connection to SettleGrid’s API.

Where does my tool’s data live?

All tool metadata is stored and managed on SettleGrid’s platform. The Discovery server only retrieves and exposes that data; it does not store or cache any tool information locally.

Are there any limits on the Discovery server?

The server itself has no usage limits, but your SettleGrid plan caps the number of monthly operations (e.g., 25,000 on the Free tier). Discovery calls count toward that limit.

How do I authenticate clients with the Discovery server?

The server does not require authentication to run as a client; however, billing and metering of discovered tools still require valid API keys for the underlying SettleGrid billing system.
