Votars

Votars MCP enables you to run the Go-based Votars MCP server and connect it to your client workflow using either Server-Sent Events (sse) or Standard Input/Output (stdio). It lets you fetch recent transcripts or a specific transcript from your workspace and integrates smoothly with the Votars AI platform for real-time processing and AI-assisted tasks.

How to use

Choose your interaction mode based on how you want to connect to the server. If you want to stream events and receive responses over HTTP, run the server in sse mode and connect via a client that supports Server-Sent Events. If you prefer a local, in-process interaction, run in stdio mode and communicate through standard input and output streams. In both modes you provide your API key to authorize access.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Go installed to build and run the Go MCP version. You may also use a package manager to install the server if you prefer a streamlined workflow.

# Install the Go MCP from the repository
# This pulls the latest Go-based Votars MCP binary
go install github.com/scarletlabs-ai/Votars-MCP/go/votars-mcp@latest

Run the MCP service

Start the MCP service in sse mode on port 8080. This prepares the server to accept sse requests from your MCP client.

votars-mcp -t sse -p 8080

Configure the MCP client for SSE

Create a configuration that points to the MCP SSE endpoint and provides your API key in the request headers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Votars MCP": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://0.0.0.0:8080/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configure the MCP client for Stdio

Run the server in stdio mode and provide your API key through an environment variable.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Votars MCP Stdio": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "votars-mcp",
      "args": ["-t", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "VOTARS_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
