Monta Partner API MCP Server

Welcome to the Monta Partner API MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This server exposes Monta's charging infrastructure API as MCP tools for AI assistants and automation platforms.

🚀 What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide tools, resources, and contextual data to AI systems. This server automatically generates MCP tools from Monta's OpenAPI specification, making all API endpoints available as callable tools.

🏗️ MCP Architecture

This server exposes three types of MCP primitives:

Primitive	Count	Generation	Description
Tools	~185	Dynamic	Auto-generated from OpenAPI spec - one per API endpoint
Resources	2	Static	API terminology and OpenAPI specification
Prompts	5	Static	Workflow templates for common tasks

🔧 How It Works

Dynamic Tool Generation: The server fetches Monta's OpenAPI spec and creates MCP tools for each endpoint
Resource Exposure: The OpenAPI spec itself is available as a resource for AI context
Prompt Templates: Pre-built workflows guide common charging infrastructure tasks
Authentication Passthrough: Your Monta credentials are used to authenticate API calls
Protocol Support: Available via stdio for local development or HTTP-based protocols for remote integrations

🔌 Endpoints

The server provides two HTTP endpoints for MCP integration:

MCP Streamable HTTP (Recommended)

Endpoint: https://partner-api-mcp.monta.app/mcp

Modern, stateful protocol designed for n8n and other HTTP-based MCP clients. Features:

Single endpoint for all operations
Session management via mcp-session-id header
Supports all MCP methods (initialize, tools/list, tools/call, resources/, prompts/)
Better performance with persistent sessions

SSE (Legacy)

Endpoint: https://partner-api-mcp.monta.app/sse

Server-Sent Events protocol for backward compatibility. Features:

Supports both SSE streaming (GET) and stateless HTTP (POST)
Compatible with Claude Desktop SSE transport
No session management required for POST requests

📋 Tools

The server provides direct access to Monta API endpoints as MCP tools. The number of tools available depends on your credential scopes:

all:read + all:write = 164 tools (delete operations hidden)
Full all scope = all 185 tools

Examples:

Tool	Parameters	Description
`getTeams`	-	List all teams
`getChargePoints`	`teamId`, `state`	List charge points with filters
`getChargePointStatistics`	`chargePointId`	Get statistics for a charge point
`startCharge`	`chargePointId`, `chargeAuthId`	Start charging session
`stopCharge`	`chargeId`	Stop charging session
`rebootChargePoint`	`chargePointId`	Restart a charge point

Prompts

Pre-built workflow templates for common tasks:

Prompt	Description
`start-charging`	Step-by-step guide to start a charging session
`monitor-charging`	Monitor active sessions and charge point status
`update-pricing`	Configure charge point pricing and tariffs
`restart-charge-points`	Bulk restart charge points with filtering

Resources

Contextual data available to AI assistants:

Resource	Description
`monta://terminology`	API terminology and synonym mappings
`monta://openapi`	Complete OpenAPI specification (YAML)

🔐 Authentication

All requests require authentication. Choose one of these methods:

Option 1: Bearer Token

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Option 2: Basic Auth (Client Credentials)

Authorization: Basic base64(your-client-id:your-client-secret)

Option 3: Custom Headers

X-Monta-Client-Id: your-client-id
X-Monta-Client-Secret: your-client-secret

Option 4: Custom Header (Combined)

X-Monta-Auth: your-client-id:your-client-secret
