Overview
What is Backstage MCP?
Backstage MCP is an example MCP server that integrates with Backstage using the Quarkus Backstage library. It allows developers to list available Backstage templates and instantiate them from the command line via an MCP client like Goose.
How to use Backstage MCP?
You need a Backstage installation with service-to-service authentication enabled and a static token configured. The server is built with Quarkus and runs as a STDIO-based MCP server. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Goose) to execute the Quarkus application (e.g., quarkus-run.jar via jbang).

Frequently asked questions
How does the server communicate with Backstage?
It uses the Quarkus Backstage library to talk to the Backstage API, and communicates with the MCP client over STDIO (reads from stdin, writes to stdout).
What can I do with Backstage MCP?
List available templates and instantiate a template by providing parameter values in a `values.yaml` file.
How do I set it up with Goose?
Add the server configuration to Goose’s config.yaml, specifying the path to the Quarkus application (e.g., `quarkus-run.jar`) and using `jbang` as the command.
Are there any known limitations?
The README does not mention any limitations. The server is presented as an example.
