DOCUMENTATION

One hosted MCP endpoint for every AI editor

Zephex is a cloud-hosted MCP proxy that gives your coding agents access to 10 developer tools through a single API key at https://zephex.dev/mcp. No local Node servers, no per-editor maintenance — connect once and every tool call routes through one secure endpoint.

Start free with 555 requests per month. Typical sessions use 20–80 tool calls. Upgrade only when you need more volume.

HOW IT WORKS

One endpoint. Ten tools. Zero local servers.

Your editor authenticates once with a Bearer token. The proxy routes each tool call to the right backend and returns a single response. Add or remove tools without ever touching your editor config.

Request Flow
HTTPS · JSON-RPC 2.0EditorMCP clientZephex Proxyauth · routeTool: read_codeTool: find_codeTool: 8 more…Bearer token

Your editor sends a single JSON-RPC call. The proxy authenticates, routes to the right tool, returns one response.

QUICK INSTALL

Get started in one command

Run this in your terminal. It walks you through API key creation and editor config automatically — no manual JSON editing required.

shell
npx zephex

Why hosted MCP? Local MCP servers mean Node on every laptop, config drift across editors, and no central usage tracking. Zephex gives you get_project_context, read_code, find_code, check_package, project_memory, explain_architecture, Zephex_dev_info, check_test, audit_headers, and keep_thinking from one URL. See hosted vs local MCP.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Outcomes your agent gets from Zephex

Tools are grouped by job — start with project context, then drill into code, packages, or security as needed.

Understand your project

Trace how a repo fits together — stack, scripts, dependencies, entry points — in one call.

Read & search code

AST-based symbol reading, ranked code search, and architecture analysis with diagrams.

Verify packages

Check any npm, pypi, or cargo package for typosquats, CVEs, and supply-chain risks.

Audit security

HTTP header audits, SSL checks, cookie flags, and CSP analysis on any deployed URL.

Reason through hard problems

Persistent thinking sessions that prevent circular debugging and track conclusions.

Look up expert knowledge

Database schemas, security patterns, frontend/backend best practices, deployment guides.

INSTALLATION

Choose your setup method

Every method uses the same endpoint and API key. Pick the one that matches your workflow.

NPX (Recommended)

One command, auto-configures your editor. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and more.

→

CLI

Full CLI with auth, key management, usage stats, and shell completions.

→

Terminal tools

find-code, get-context, architecture — run MCP tools in your shell (Mode 2).

→

HTTP API

Direct JSON-RPC over HTTPS. Use from any language or custom integration.

→
API KEYS

One key, all tools

Create API keys from the dashboard. Each key gives access to all 10 tools through the proxy. Use separate keys per environment (dev/staging/prod) so you can rotate without downtime.

UNIVERSAL CONFIG

Works in every editor

This config structure works in Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, and any editor supporting MCP. Paste it, add your key, restart.

Test your connection

Run this curl to confirm your key works and the endpoint is reachable.
