Connect AI agents to the ConvertAPI MCP server

Setup

1. Install the SDK

   • Node.js
   • Python

   npm install @scalekit-sdk/node dotenv

2. Set your credentials

   Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

   SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

3. Create the ConvertAPI MCP connection

   In AgentKit > Connections, create a ConvertAPI MCP connection. The name you give it is the connection_name your code passes. See Configure connections.

   Scalekit credentials are available for ConvertAPI MCP server, so you don't need to register an OAuth app.

4. Authorize a user and make your first call

   • Node.js
   • Python

   1
   import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
   2
   import 'dotenv/config'
   3
   import { createInterface } from 'node:readline/promises'
   4
   
   5
   const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
   6
     process.env.SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL,
   7
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
   8
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
   9
   )
   10
   const actions = scalekit.actions
   11
   
   12
   const connector = 'convertapimcp'
   13
   const identifier = 'user_123'
   14
   
   15
   // Generate an authorization link for the user
   16
   const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
   17
   console.log('Authorize ConvertAPI MCP:', link)
   18
   const rl = createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout })
   19
   await rl.question('Press Enter after authorizing...')
   20
   rl.close()
   21
   
   22
   // Make your first call
   23
   const result = await actions.executeTool({
   24
     connector,
   25
     identifier,
   26
     toolName: 'convertapimcp_get_converters_by_tags',
   27
     toolInput: { tags: [] },
   28
   })
   29
   console.log(result)
