The OpenEdge MCP Server delivers enterprise-grade capabilities designed for secure and predictable AI integration. Some of the key features include:
  • Zero manual tool wiring—Automatically converts OpenAPI specifications into a tool catalog at startup.
  • Safe by default—Non-GET HTTP methods are excluded unless explicitly enabled. This restriction is designed to minimize the risk of unintended data modifications by MCP Clients. It achieves this by disallowing the use of HTTP methods commonly associated with data-altering operations, specifically PUT, POST, and DELETE.
  • Dual authentication—Combines service account and user token with scope-based gating.
  • Secure discovery—Tools and prompts are visible only when the caller holds the required scopes.
  • Built-In guardrails—Enforces response size limits, array length checks, and optional parameter validation.
  • Deterministic profiles—The mcpgen command line interface (CLI) produces directories containing configuration, certificates, tokens, and scripts. It simplifies profile generation, configuration management, and lifecycle operations for OpenEdge MCP environments. For more information, see Use the mcpgen CLI for profile generation and management.
  • Enterprise transport—Supports TLS and mTLS for inbound connections and configurable downstream TLS/mTLS.
  • Operational clarity—Provides structured inventory logging, correlation IDs, and optional rate limiting.
  • Hardened distribution—Enables export and digest pinning for production or air-gapped deployments.
  • Extensible but opinionated—Clear configuration groups reduce hidden coupling and environment sprawl.
