Overview

Hex API MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate interaction with Hex projects, allowing AI assistants to access, run, and monitor the status of these projects through a standardized interface.

To use the Hex API MCP Server, install the required dependencies, set up your Hex API key, and run the server using Python. You can also integrate it with Claude Desktop or test it using the MCP Inspector.

  • Retrieve project details - List all available projects - Monitor project runs and their statuses - Execute projects - Cancel ongoing project runs
  1. Accessing and managing Hex projects programmatically.
  2. Integrating Hex project functionalities into AI assistants.
  3. Monitoring and controlling project executions in real-time.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect hex-mcp MCP server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hex-mcp-franccesco": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-hex-mcp-franccesco"
      ]
    }
