description: 'BoltMCP is a UK company (BoltMCP Limited) selling a self-hosted platform for creating and managing secured Model
  Context Protocol (MCP) servers inside an organization''s own infrastructure. A single Helm chart deploys the full stack
  into one Kubernetes namespace - a web dashboard, an internal REST API, a "gold image" MCP server, the MCP Inspector playground,
  and optional bundled PostgreSQL, Keycloak and HashiCorp Vault. The product''s pitch is token-efficient MCP: progressive
  disclosure and lazy tool registration instead of preloading every tool into an agent''s context, with tools composed declaratively
  from existing REST/gRPC APIs, company docs and API hubs. Auth, RBAC, secrets and observability are delegated to infrastructure
  the customer already runs. Nothing is operated by BoltMCP as a cloud service - there is no vendor-hosted API, no public
  sign-up and no published pricing; access is by design-partner arrangement to a preview release.'

  name: BoltMCP MCP Server
  description: The MCP server the BoltMCP Helm chart deploys into the customer's own Kubernetes cluster. Customers define
    their own servers and tools through the BoltMCP dashboard, so the tool surface is tenant-defined rather than a fixed public
    catalog. The chart derives the public hostname from global.domain and the ingress documentation names server.<domain>
    as the externally routed host; agents and MCP clients connect there over HTTP, authenticating against the deployment's
    OIDC provider.

  name: BoltMCP REST API
  description: The internal REST API service (boltmcp-rest-api, container port 3003) that backs the BoltMCP dashboard and
    the deployed MCP servers. It is deliberately NOT given a public ingress hostname by the chart - the documented hostname
    table covers only web, auth, server and inspector - so it is reachable only inside the cluster. Documented surface includes
    the /api/v1/secrets/* endpoints backed by the bundled Vault, and a platform-wide 10 MB request-body limit enforced on
    every request. No OpenAPI description is published publicly.

    reference. BoltMCP publishes no public base URL for this service because the chart does not expose it through ingress.

  state: covered
  reason: null
  detail: BoltMCP publishes no OpenAPI, and none exists to find - the product is a self-hosted MCP server platform whose REST
    API is never exposed through ingress, and whose per-tenant MCP tool surface is defined by the customer. The public surface
    that does exist was harvested in full - an llms.txt, a provider-published Agent Skill, seven first-party npm packages,
    and a detailed installation/configuration reference from which auth, scopes, conventions, errors, lifecycle and conformance
    were read.
