Overview

EventCatalog - MCP Server is a tool that allows users to gain insights from their EventCatalog directly through various MCP Clients, enabling interaction with event-driven architectures.

To use the MCP Server, you need to enable the LLMS.txt feature in your EventCatalog instance and configure your MCP clients (like Claude or Cursor) to connect to the server.

  • Connect to any MCP Client (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) - Run the MCP server locally with a single command - Query your EventCatalog for domains, services, messages, and schemas - Get real-time answers about your architecture
  1. Developers can integrate the MCP server with supported IDEs to streamline their workflow.
  2. Stakeholders can ask questions about the architecture using familiar tools.
  3. It can be used to document and visualize event-driven architectures effectively.

    "mcp-server-event-catalog": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-event-catalog"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "mcp-server-event-catalog": {

        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-event-catalog"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-event-catalog"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
