FAQ from Kintone MCP Server

How do I install the Kintone MCP Server?

You can install via MCPB (drag and drop into Claude Desktop), Docker (docker run ... ghcr.io/kintone/mcp-server), or npm (npm install -g @kintone/mcp-server).

What authentication methods are supported?

Password authentication (username + password) or API token (up to 9 tokens, comma-separated). Client certificate authentication is also supported by specifying a PFX file path and password.

Can I use the Kintone MCP Server behind a proxy?

Yes, set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable (e.g., http://proxy.example.com:8080). Authenticated proxies are also supported.

Are there any limitations?

What if I get connection or authentication errors?

Check the base URL format (e.g., https://example.cybozu.com). Verify credentials and ensure no conflict between password and API token. For client certificates, use the secure domain (e.g., .s.cybozu.com). If using a proxy, set HTTPS_PROXY.
