Deploying and using your MCP tools

Deploying your MCP tools

Deploying your MCP Server (Tech Preview) and tools follows the same process to deploy any of your Boomi Integration processes. Refer to the Deployment documentation.

Once your process has successfully deployed to a local environment, you will be able to register your tools in the preferred LLM.

Using your MCP tools with MCP Inspector

The MCP Inspector is an interactive developer tool for testing and debugging MCP servers. While the Debugging Guide covers the Inspector as part of the overall debugging toolkit, this document provides a detailed exploration of the Inspector’s features and capabilities.

For more information about MCP Inspector, please visit https://modelcontextprotocol.io/legacy/tools/inspector#getting-started.

Once you have your MPC Inspector up and running you can use it to explore prompts, tools, and other areas of your newly deployed MCP Server.

Using your MCP tools with Claude desktop

You can register your deployed tools in Claude by adding them to the claude_desktop_config.json file.

In the Claude desktop, navigate to Settings > Developer > Edit Config.

Claude settings

The following is an example of a claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers":{
    "shopify":{
      "command":"npx",
      "args":[
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8000/mcp/shopify/sse",
        "--allow-http"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Once you have added your newly deployed MCP tools, you will be able to interact with them via Claude chat.
