Paxaver MCP Server

AI-facing adapter over the Paxaver school community platform. Implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Cloudflare Workers with RS256 JWT validation, capability-first authorization, and Streamable HTTP transport.

npm version License: Apache-2.0 MCP Badge


What this is

The Paxaver MCP server lets AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and any MCP-compatible client) act on behalf of a Paxaver user: check a lunch menu, order lunch, top up a wallet, register for fundraising events, donate to a school, volunteer, and — for school administrators — manage restaurants, menu items, events, and daily orders.

It is a thin adapter. It contains no business logic and never touches the database, Stripe, or email directly. Every action is delegated to the private Paxaver backend API over a Cloudflare service binding (same region, no public network hop). The MCP server's only responsibilities are:

  • MCP protocol handling (JSON-RPC 2.0, Streamable HTTP)
  • RS256 JWT validation via JWKS from the centralized Paxaver auth worker
  • Per-tool capability policy and role gating
  • Sanitized, user-safe error mapping

Authentication is handled by the Paxaver auth worker (auth.paxaver.com), which serves as the OAuth 2.0 / OIDC authorization server. The MCP server validates the resulting RS256 JWTs and forwards them to the backend. The MCP server itself is not an authorization server.

                                                 └──────────────────────┘

The MCP worker never binds D1, Stripe, or SES. The service binding carries a short-lived JWT (120s TTL, audience paxaver-internal) that the backend trusts as an internal call while still attributing the action to the authenticated Paxaver user. See docs/architecture.md for the full picture.


Quick start

Install

npm install @paxaver/mcp

Develop locally

# 1. Install dependencies (Node >= 22)
npm install

# 2. Configure local secrets
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars   # then fill in JWT_SECRET, OAUTH_STATE_SECRET, ...

# 3. Run the worker locally (Miniflare)
npm run dev

# 4. Typecheck, lint, and test
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test

The local dev server starts on http://localhost:8787. Discovery endpoints live under /.well-known/; the MCP endpoint is POST /mcp.

Note: Local development without the PAXAVER_API service binding falls back to authenticated HTTPS against API_BASE_URL (default http://localhost:8787). For full integration testing, run the Paxaver backend worker locally and point API_BASE_URL at it.


Deployment

Two environments, each a separate Worker with its own custom domain:

EnvironmentWorker nameDomain
stagingpaxaver-mcp-stagingmcp.paxaver.dev
productionpaxaver-mcpmcp.paxaver.com

The production worker serves both CA and US users through a single endpoint (mcp.paxaver.com). User region is resolved from the JWT tenant_id claim, and the worker routes to the correct regional backend via service bindings (PAXAVER_API_CA, PAXAVER_API_US). Currency is determined by the user's school, not by the MCP endpoint.

npm run deploy:staging   # wrangler deploy --env staging
npm run deploy:prod      # wrangler deploy --env production

Secrets must be set with wrangler secret put --env production: JWT_SECRET, OAUTH_STATE_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, CHATGPT_VERIFY_TOKEN. See docs/deployment.md.


Tools

The server exposes 31 tools grouped into six categories. Visibility in tools/list is filtered by the caller's roles; every call is re-authorized before dispatch, and the backend re-checks data-level access (defense-in-depth).

CategoryTools
User / accountget_user_info, update_student
Walletget_wallet_balance, get_wallet_status, add_funds, top_up_balance, donate_to_school
Orders & menuorder_lunch, get_orders, get_daily_menu, get_updates, get_daily_orders, get_monthly_orders, get_published_menu, create_draft_order, finalize_order, cancel_order
Eventsget_upcoming_events, create_event, update_event, cancel_event, register_event, request_volunteer
Admin / restaurantlist_school_restaurants, create_restaurant, list_menu_items, create_menu_item, update_menu_item, set_menu_item_price, delete_menu_item, set_daily_menu

Financial and destructive tools are labeled and require user confirmation. Full reference: docs/tools.md. Authorization policy: docs/authorization.md.
