MCSS API JS

A powerful and easy-to-use JavaScript/TypeScript package to interact with the MCSS (MC Server Soft) API. This library provides a complete interface for managing Minecraft servers, users, backups, scheduled tasks, API keys, and webhooks.

📦 Installation

You can install the package using your preferred package manager:

# Using npm
npm install @mcserversoft/mcss-api
# Using pnpm
pnpm add @mcserversoft/mcss-api
# Using bun
bun install @mcserversoft/mcss-api

🚀 Quick Start

First, you need to create a new Client instance:

import { Client } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

const client = new Client("127.0.0.1", 8080, "YOUR_API_KEY", true);

The client object is your main entry point and provides access to:

• Modules:
  • client.servers: Manage servers.
  • client.users: Manage users.
  • client.webhooks: Manage webhooks.
  • client.apikeys: Manage API keys.
• Direct Methods:
  • client.getStats(): Get panel stats.
  • client.getServers(): Get all servers.
  • client.getServerCount(): Get server count.
  • client.getSettings(): Get MCSS settings.
  • client.updateSettings(): Update MCSS settings.

✨ Builder Classes

This library includes builder classes to make creating complex objects straightforward. These builders use a fluent interface, allowing you to chain methods together.

• Server: For creating new server configurations.
• User: For creating new users.
• Backup: For creating new backup configurations.
• Task: For creating new scheduled tasks.
• Key: For creating new API keys.

Example Usage of a Builder

import { Backup, Compression } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

const newBackup = new Backup("My Important Backup", "local_destination")
    .setCompression(Compression.HIGH)
    .setSuspend(true)
    .setDeleteOldBackups(true);

// You can then use this `newBackup` object in the API methods.
// For example:
// await server.backups.create(newBackup);

🎮 Server Management

When you fetch a server, you get a ServerObject which has its own methods and properties.

The ServerObject

A ServerObject contains all the information about a server, as well as instance-specific modules for backups and scheduling.

• Properties: id, name, status, players, maxPlayers, etc.
• Modules:
  • server.backups: Manage backups for this specific server.
  • server.scheduler: Manage scheduled tasks for this specific server.
• Methods:
  • server.getStats(): Get server-specific stats.
  • server.execute(): Execute commands or actions.
  • server.edit(): Edit the server's properties.

Get a specific server

async function getServer() {
    const server = await client.servers.get("YOUR_SERVER_ID");
    if (server.status === 200) {
        console.log(`Server Name: ${server.name}`);
        console.log(`Status: ${server.status}`);
        
        // You can access backups and scheduler directly
        const backups = await server.backups.get();
        console.log('Backups:', backups.data);
    }
}

getServer();

Control server operations

import { ServerAction } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageServer() {
    const server = await client.servers.get("YOUR_SERVER_ID");
    if (server.status === 200) {
        // Start the server
        const startResult = await server.execute(ServerAction.Start);
        console.log('Start result:', startResult.status);

        // Send a command
        const commandResult = await server.execute("say Hello from the API!");
        console.log('Command result:', commandResult.status);
    }
}

manageServer();

👥 User Management

import { User } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageUsers() {
    // Get all users
    const usersResponse = await client.users.get();
    if (usersResponse.status === 200) {
        console.log('Users:', usersResponse.data);
    }

    // Create a new user using the User builder
    const newUser = new User("testuser", "password123", true, false, false)
        .setUsername("new-test-user")
        .setPassword("securePassword123");

    const createdUser = await client.users.createUser(newUser);
    if (createdUser.status === 200) {
        console.log('User created:', createdUser.data);
    }
}

manageUsers();

💾 Backup Management

import { Backup, Compression } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageBackups() {
    const server = await client.servers.get("YOUR_SERVER_ID");
    if (server.status === 200) {
        // Get all backups for a server
        const backupsResponse = await server.backups.get();
        if (backupsResponse.status === 200) {
            console.log('Backups:', backupsResponse.data);
        }

        // Create a new backup using the Backup builder
        const newBackup = new Backup("My New Backup", "local")
            .setCompression(Compression.HIGH)
            .setSuspend(true);
            
        const createdBackup = await server.backups.create(newBackup);
        if (createdBackup.status === 200) {
            console.log('Backup created:', createdBackup.data);
        }
    }
}

manageBackups();

⏰ Scheduled Tasks

import { Task, ServerAction } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageTasks() {
    const server = await client.servers.get("YOUR_SERVER_ID");
    if (server.status === 200) {
        // Get all tasks for a server
        const tasksResponse = await server.scheduler.getTasks();
        if (tasksResponse.status === 200) {
            console.log('Tasks:', tasksResponse.data);
        }

        // Create a new scheduled task using the Task builder
        const newTask = new Task("Daily Restart", true, 0)
            .setTiming(true, 86400) // Repeat every 24 hours
            .addJob(ServerAction.Restart);

        const createdTask = await server.scheduler.create(newTask);
        if (createdTask.status === 200) {
            console.log('Task created:', createdTask.data);
        }
    }
}

manageTasks();

🔑 API Key Management

import { Key, ServerPermissions } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageApiKeys() {
    // Get all API keys
    const keysResponse = await client.apikeys.get();
    if (keysResponse.status === 200) {
        console.log('API Keys:', keysResponse.data);
    }

    // Create a new API key using the Key builder
    const newKey = new Key("My Test Key")
        .setIsAdmin(false)
        .setHasAccessToAllServers(false)
        .addCustomServerPermission("YOUR_SERVER_ID", {
            [ServerPermissions.VIEW_STATS]: true,
            [ServerPermissions.USE_CONSOLE]: true,
        });

    const createdKey = await client.apikeys.create(newKey);
    if (createdKey.status === 200) {
        console.log('API Key created:', createdKey.data);
    }
}

manageApiKeys();

🪝 Webhook Management

import { WebhookTrigger } from '@mcserversoft/mcss-api';

async function manageWebhooks() {
    // Get all webhooks
    const webhooksResponse = await client.webhooks.get();
    if (webhooksResponse.status === 200) {
        console.log('Webhooks:', webhooksResponse.data);
    }

    // Create a new webhook using the Webhook builder
    const newWebhook = new Webhook("My Webhook", "https://example.com/webhook")
        .setMessageFormat(0) // 0 for JSON
        .setWebhookTriggers([WebhookTrigger.SERVER_STATUS_CHANGED])
        .addOptionalHeader("X-Custom-Header", "SomeValue");

    const createdWebhook = await client.webhooks.create(newWebhook);
    if (createdWebhook.status === 200) {
