Caelario tools inside your AI client
Model Context Protocol gives an MCP-compatible client Caelario's tool definitions and server instructions. The client chooses the appropriate tool from your natural-language request; the MCP server validates it, calls the same public API documented here, and returns normalized JSON.
1. Create a Caelario API key
Open Developers in the Caelario dashboard, create a workspace key, and copy the secret when it is shown. The guided installer asks for that key without placing it in the shell command or command history.
2. Install for Codex or Claude Code
Choose one command. The npm package starts a guided installer, prompts for the workspace key, and registers the user-wide STDIO server with the selected client. You do not edit TOML or JSON yourself.
npx -y caelario-mcp install codexnpx -y caelario-mcp install claude- 1Run one installer
Node.js 20 or newer and the selected client CLI must be available on the machine.
- 2Paste the key at the hidden prompt
The package registers
npx -y caelario-mcp serveand the API environment for that client. - 3Restart and verify
Use
/mcp,codex mcp list, orclaude mcp listand confirmcaelariois enabled.
Package and transport
caelario-mcp is the official local npm package. Codex and Claude Code launch it over STDIO; the package then calls https://api.caelario.com using the customer's workspace key. Run npx -y caelario-mcp serve only when testing with an MCP inspector—the client normally owns that process.

How the client chooses a workflow
- 1Discover
The client reads
discover_platformsandget_operation_guide; it does not guess limits or prices. - 2Estimate
estimate_creditsshows the maximum reservation before a write. - 3Execute
extract_nowhandles one bounded target. Larger or long-running work uses durable jobs or batches. - 4Wait and read
wait_for_extractioncan monitor a job; completed result tools support pagination for large JSON payloads.
Try it from any new task
Once enabled, Caelario is available to every new Codex task or Claude Code conversation on that machine; the conversation does not need prior project context.
