3. Environment Variables: Securing API credentials via .env files to protect sensitive data.

Configuration Sample

Configuring the Holaspirit-MCP-Server involves setting essential environmental variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "[server-name]": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-[name]"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

🚀 Getting Started with Installation

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies:

   npm install holaspirit-mcp-server
   

2. Configure Environment Variables: Create a .env file and add your Holaspirit API credentials:

   HOLASPIRIT_API_TOKEN=your_api_token
   

3. Start the MCP Server:

   npx holaspirit-mcp-server
   

4. Run Example Scripts: For example usage, check and run the examples directory:

   # Set required environment variables
   export EXAMPLES_CLIENT_HOLASPIRIT_API_TOKEN=your_api_token
   export EXAMPLES_CLIENT_HOLASPIRIT_ORGANIZATION_ID=your_organization_id
   
   # Run the example
   npm run examples
   

💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows
