Capes v1.0.0: the first public release

Superpowers for any AI. Capes is a free, open-source MCP server you deploy to your own Vercel account. It lets Claude, Codex, Cursor and any MCP client use your Gmail, Discord and X, through one private server with a dashboard.

What is in this release

  • 62 tools: Gmail (17), Discord (44) and X search (1). The Discord toolkit covers messages, DMs, files, polls, threads, forums, webhooks, channels, roles, permissions, moderation, invites and the audit log.
  • Owner dashboard at /dashboard: test each connector, browse and try read-only tools, watch recent activity, copy ready-made client config, and generate your Discord invite link in one click.
  • One-click deploy with the Deploy button, or one installer command. No database needed.
  • Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any MCP client that speaks HTTP.
  • Limits you control: switch a service or a single tool off, or make the whole server read-only. Every tool is labelled read, write or destructive.
  • Built to be safe: arguments are validated, secrets are redacted from errors and logs, dashboard sessions are signed with CSRF protection, sign-in is rate limited, and settings fail closed.
  • Open-source ready: MIT license, a guard against unreviewed changes to CI and assistant settings, a protected main branch (pull request, code-owner review and green checks), secret scanning, and documentation with diagrams.

Get started

  1. Click Deploy with Vercel in the README, or read the Vercel guide.
  2. Add the credentials for the services you want (only MCP_API_KEY is required).
  3. Open /dashboard, sign in, and connect your AI client.

Known limits

  • Vercel stops a request after 60 seconds.
  • Discord bots cannot create servers, and can edit only their own messages.
  • Gmail uses an app password (one account); X search depends on a third-party scraper.
  • The optional Redis settings are tested against a fake server, not yet a real database.
