Tablogs Kb

Tablogs KB plugin for Claude

Search, read, and manage Tablogs Knowledge Base articles directly from Claude.

Install

1. Get your token

1. Log in to the Tablogs admin UI
2. Navigate to Knowledge Base → MCP Tokens
3. Click + New Token, give it a name (e.g. my-laptop), click Create
4. Copy the token shown — you won't see it again

2. Set token as environment variable

The plugin reads your token from the TABLOGS_KB_TOKEN env var. Set it once:

Windows (PowerShell, persistent):

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TABLOGS_KB_TOKEN", "PASTE_TOKEN_HERE", "User")

macOS / Linux (add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

export TABLOGS_KB_TOKEN="PASTE_TOKEN_HERE"

Override URL via TABLOGS_KB_URL env var. Defaults to the staging ALB. Set to the production URL once it's available, or to http://localhost:8081/mcp for local dev.

--allow-http is always passed. The Tablogs MCP ALB serves over plain HTTP today, and mcp-remote refuses non-HTTPS URLs without this flag. The flag is a no-op for HTTPS URLs, so it stays once HTTPS is rolled out.

3. Install the plugin

In Claude Code (or Claude Desktop with plugin support):

/plugin marketplace add tablogs/claude-plugins
/plugin install tablogs-kb@tablogs

Then restart Claude so the env var is picked up.

4. Verify

In any chat, ask: "List 3 KB categories using tablogs-kb" — you should see live data from the Tablogs KB.

What this plugin gives you

The plugin registers an MCP server tablogs-kb with 10 tools:

Tool	What it does
list_articles	Browse KB articles with filters and pagination
get_article	Fetch full content of a single article
create_article	Draft a new article (defaults to unpublished)
update_article	Edit title, content, category, publish status, etc.
delete_article	Remove an article
list_categories	List all categories (flat)
get_category_tree	List categories as a nested tree
create_category	Create a new category
update_category	Rename/move a category
delete_category	Remove a category

Claude picks which tool to call based on your prompt — you don't have to invoke them by name.

Troubleshooting

• "Authorization required" / 401: token is missing or expired. Generate a fresh one in the admin UI and reset the env var.
• MCP doesn't show up after install: full quit Claude (from the system tray, not just close the window) and reopen. Env var changes only take effect on relaunch.
• Connection error: verify the MCP server is reachable at the URL configured in TABLOGS_KB_URL (default is the staging ALB).

Security

• Tokens are scoped to KB CRUD only — they cannot touch other admin endpoints.
• Tokens expire after 90 days by default; you can pick 7–365 days at issuance.
• Revoke a token at any time from the admin UI; effect is immediate.
• Never commit your token to version control. The env var is stored in your user profile only.
