AI and ML platforms - official Baseten server

Baseten MCP server

Remote backend MCP server at api.baseten.co/mcp that wraps the Baseten REST API (deployments, autoscaling, logs, secrets, training jobs and more) so coding agents can deploy, debug and operate models in a Baseten workspace. It acts as the signed-in user with that account's permissions. Baseten hosts it at https://api.baseten.co/mcp with OAuth or API key auth.

Notes and caveats

  • Default auth is OAuth sign-in in the browser on first connect; headless agents (for example CI) use a Baseten API key with management permissions sent as Authorization: Bearer ${BASETEN_MCP_KEY}.
  • The Cursor and VS Code snippets configure both the backend and docs servers together, as documented.
  • Every tool is annotated read-only or mutating, but the docs do not list tool names.
  • add-mcp stops if Claude Desktop is installed unless agents are named with -a.
  • Server source is not published; the linked GitHub repo is the skill, not the server.
