CAST Imaging MCP Server

The CAST Imaging MCP Server bridges the gap between AI agents and real software architecture by exposing comprehensive software intelligence through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows the user to get insights about their applications ,transactions, dependencies, quality patterns, and architectural structures by prompting AI agents. Its 40 documented tools cover applications, data, graph, dynamic.

People who need these tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client.

01 · Install CAST Imaging MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

Set HOST_CONTROL_PANEL, IMAGING_PAGE_SIZE, IMAGING_DISPLAY_PAGE_SIZE, DEBUG_MODE, CONTROL_PANEL_SSL_ENABLED, MCP_TOOL_SURFACE_PROFILE, MCP_INTENTS_HIDDEN_FUNCTIONS, SERVICE_HOST before connecting. PORT_CONTROL_PANEL, IMAGING_CODE, IMAGING_DOMAIN, SSL_CA_BUNDLE are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Docker

docker run -i --rm docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

registry namespace io.github.CAST-Extend is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What CAST Imaging MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list the available applications in CAST Imaging, list all applications (cloud build), list applications belonging to the current user (cloud build), and get transactions from all applications with filtering support.
