From source

Build and run the Peaka MCP server from a local clone of the GitHub repository.

For contributors and users who need to run a modified or pinned build, the server can be cloned from GitHub and run from source.

For most users, Remote or NPM is simpler.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• A Peaka API key — see Authentication.

Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/peakacom/peaka-mcp-server.git
cd peaka-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

The build emits dist/index.js, which is the binary your client will launch.

Configure your client

Point your client at the local build and pass the API key as an environment variable:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "peaka": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/peaka-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PEAKA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use an absolute path. Restart the client after editing its config.

Environment variables

Name	Description
PEAKA_API_KEY	Project or Partner API key for authenticating with Peaka. Required.

Updating

Pull the latest changes and rebuild:

git pull
npm install
npm run build

Your client will pick up the new binary on its next launch of the server.
