Give your AI agent an identity it owns: email inbox, US phone number, SMS, voice, and a vault.

anima MCP Server (`io.github.anima-labs-ai/anima`)

This hosted MCP server connects AI assistants to Anima by exposing an identity and communication-related tool surface. It is served behind https://mcp.useanima.sh over streamable HTTP and uses Bearer token authorization (Authorization: Bearer <ak_… or mk_…>).

🛠️ Key Features

Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.useanima.sh
Streamable HTTP tool surface
Bearer token authentication (ak_… / mk_…)
Full tool surface exposed (66 tools)

🚀 Use Cases

Connect AI assistants to the Anima platform
Provide an agent identity covering email inbox, US phone number, SMS, voice, and a vault

⚡ Developer Benefits

Use the same platform and auth as the local/stdio server (@anima-labs/mcp)
Follow MCP docs for client setup and connect to either hosted gateway or local server
Run anima setup-mcp to configure connection

⚠️ Limitations

This deployed gateway is “deliberately not published to npm”

@anima-labs/mcp-server

The hosted MCP server behind https://mcp.useanima.sh — the recommended way to connect AI assistants to Anima. It exposes the full tool surface (66 tools today) over streamable HTTP with Authorization: Bearer <ak_… or mk_…>.

This package is deliberately not published to npm: it is the deployed gateway. For a local/stdio server use @anima-labs/mcp (published, 53 core tools) — same platform, same auth. Client setup for both lives in the MCP docs, or run anima setup-mcp.

Endpoints

One gateway, scoped mounts. /mcp carries everything; the per-domain mounts serve tailored connections with a smaller tool count:

/mcp — all tools (recommended)
/agent — agent lifecycle (create/get/list/update/delete)
/email — Anima agent mailboxes: inbox create/get/list/update/delete, send/reply/forward, threads, drafts, attachments, custom domains (agents.useanima.sh addresses or your own domain — no Gmail/SMTP relay involved)
/phone — phone number provisioning, SMS threads, voice calls + transcripts/recordings (Telnyx-backed)
/platform — account/usage overviews and webhook management
/vault — encrypted credential vault: CRUD, search, TOTP, server-side use, credential requests, OAuth connections, Connect Links
/extension — browser extension connect (headless / Puppeteer)

Run locally (development)

code

bun run src/index.ts

Environment: ANIMA_API_URL (defaults to a local dev API at http://127.0.0.1:3100; the production deployment sets it to the live API), MCP_BASE_URL, PORT.

Deploy production (`mcp.useanima.sh`)

Preferred path is GitHub Actions: run Deploy MCP Server (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) via workflow_dispatch.

Required repository secrets (for Workload Identity Federation / OIDC):

GCP_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_PROVIDER (format: projects/<number>/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/<pool>/providers/<provider>)
GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL (deployer service account in anima-labs)

Workflow behavior:

Builds and pushes us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/anima-labs/anima/mcp-server:<tag>
Deploys Cloud Run service mcp-server in us-central1
Prints GET /health response so you can confirm startedAt changed

Manual fallback (same image/deploy settings) remains:

bash

./deploy.sh <tag>

History

Replaces five separate packages (mcp-agent, mcp-email, mcp-phone, mcp-platform, mcp-vault) and the mcp-core shared library.
