Path of Exile 2 Build Optimizer MCP

# Path of Exile 2 Build Optimizer MCP A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and web application for Path of Exile 2 character optimization, featuring AI-powered build recommendations, local game database, and intelligent upgrade suggestions. ## Overview This project combines the power of MCP servers, AI analysis, and comprehensive PoE2 game knowledge to provide players with intelligent, personalized build recommendations through natural language interaction. ## Key Features ### MCP Server - **Character Data Fetcher**: Pulls character information via official PoE API - **Natural Language Interface**: Ask questions like "How can I increase my lightning damage?" - **Build Optimization**: AI-powered recommendations for gear, passives, and skills - **Rate-Limited API**: Respectful API usage with intelligent caching ### Local Game Database - Complete item database (bases, modifiers, uniques) - Passive skill tree data (nodes, connections, keystones) - Skill gems and support interactions - Ascendancy classes and notables - Crafting bench options and influenced modifiers ### AI-Powered Features - Natural language build queries - Goal-based optimization (DPS, survivability, boss killing, clear speed) - Trade-off analysis - Budget-aware recommendations (low/medium/high/unlimited) - Meta comparison and trends ### Build Calculator - Accurate DPS calculations with all modifiers - Defense analysis (EHP, mitigation, avoidance) - Damage breakdown by type - Skill interaction calculations - Curse and aura effectiveness ### Web Interface - Character import via account/character name - Visual passive tree with optimization highlights - Gear slot recommendations with trade links - Build sharing and saving - Real-time calculation updates ### Path of Building Integration - Import PoB build codes - Export optimized builds to PoB format - Sync with PoB's calculation engine - Support for PoB Community Fork features ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ - Node.js 18+ (for web interface) - Git ### Installation ```bash # Clone the repository cd ClaudesPathOfExile2EnhancementService # Install Python dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Install Node dependencies for web interface cd web npm install cd .. # Initialize the database python scripts/init_database.py # Seed with game data from poe2db.tw python scripts/seed_game_data.py # Set up trade API authentication (required for item search) pip install playwright playwright install chromium python scripts/setup_trade_auth.py ``` ### Running the Server ```bash # Start the MCP server python src/mcp_server.py # In a separate terminal, start the web interface cd web npm run dev ``` Access the web interface at `http://localhost:3000` ## Trade API Authentication The MCP server can search the official Path of Exile trade site to recommend gear upgrades. This requires authentication to prevent bot abuse. ### Automated Setup (Recommended - 2 Minutes) ```bash # Install Playwright (one-time setup) pip install playwright playwright install chromium # Run the authentication helper python scripts/setup_trade_auth.py ``` **What happens:** 1. Browser opens to pathofexile.com/trade 2. You log in with your account (supports 2FA) 3. Script automatically detects login and extracts your session cookie 4. Cookie is saved to `.env` file 5. Done! Trade search now works **See `TRADE_AUTH_SETUP_GUIDE.md` for:** - Detailed step-by-step guide - Troubleshooting common issues - Security information - Cookie expiration details ### Manual Setup (Fallback) If the automated method doesn't work: 1. Visit https://www.pathofexile.com/trade in your browser 2. Log in to your account 3. Press F12 to open DevTools 4. Go to Application → Cookies → pathofexile.com 5. Find the `POESESSID` cookie 6. Copy its value (32-character string) 7. Add to your `.env` file: `POESESSID=your_cookie_value_here` ## Usage ### Via Web Interface 1. Navigate to `http://localhost:3000` 2. Enter your account name and character name 3. Click "Analyze Character" 4. Review recommendations and optimization suggestions ### Via MCP Protocol ```python from mcp_client import PoE2MCPClient async with PoE2MCPClient() as client: # Analyze character analysis = await client.analyze_character( account="YourAccount", character="YourCharacter" ) # Get natural language recommendations response = await client.query( "How can I improve my boss damage while staying tanky?" ) print(response) ``` ### Via Command Line ```bash # Quick character analysis python cli.py analyze --account YourAccount --character YourCharacter # Natural language query python cli.py query "What gear upgrades should I prioritize?" # Build comparison python cli.py compare build1.json build2.json # Export to Path of Building python cli.py export --account YourAccount --character YourCharacter --output build.pob ``` ## Architecture ### Core Components ``` src/ ├── mcp_server.py # Main MCP server ├── api/ │ ├── poe_api.py # Official PoE API client │ ├── poe2db_scraper.py # poe2db.tw data scraper │ ├── rate_limiter.py # API rate limiting │ └── cache_manager.py # Multi-tier caching ├── database/ │ ├── models.py # SQLAlchemy models │ ├── manager.py # Database manager │ └── migrations/ # Alembic migrations ├── calculator/ │ ├── damage_calc.py # DPS calculations │ ├── defense_calc.py # Defense calculations │ ├── modifier_calc.py # Modifier calculations │ └── build_scorer.py # Build quality scoring ├── optimizer/ │ ├── gear_optimizer.py # Gear optimization │ ├── passive_optimizer.py # Passive tree optimization │ ├── skill_optimizer.py # Skill setup optimization │ └── trade_advisor.py # Trade recommendations ├── ai/ │ ├── query_handler.py # Natural language processing │ ├── recommendation_engine.py # AI recommendations │ └── context_manager.py # Conversation context └── pob/ ├── importer.py # PoB import ├── exporter.py # PoB export └── xml_parser.py # PoB XML handling ``` ### Web Interface ``` web/ ├── src/ │ ├── components/ │ │ ├── CharacterImporter.tsx │ │ ├── PassiveTree.tsx │ │ ├── GearRecommendations.tsx │ │ ├── BuildComparison.tsx │ │ └── NLQueryInterface.tsx │ ├── api/ │ │ └── client.ts # API client │ ├── state/ │ │ └── store.ts # State management │ └── utils/ │ └── calculations.ts # Client-side calcs ├── public/ │ └── assets/ # Static assets └── package.json ``` ## Database Schema ### Core Tables - **items**: All item bases and types - **modifiers**: Item modifiers and their values - **passive_nodes**: Passive tree nodes - **passive_connections**: Tree node connections - **skills**: Skill gems data - **supports**: Support gem data - **uniques**: Unique item data - **ascendancies**: Ascendancy classes - **crafting**: Crafting bench recipes ### User Tables - **saved_builds**: User-saved builds - **build_snapshots**: Historical build versions - **optimization_history**: Past optimizations ## API Integration ### Official PoE API - Character data retrieval - Account information - Ladder rankings (with rate limiting) - Stash tab data (optional) ### Rate Limiting Strategy ```python # Configurable rate limits RATE_LIMITS = { 'official_api': { 'requests_per_minute': 10, 'burst': 3, 'backoff': 'exponential' }, 'poe2db': { 'requests_per_minute': 30, 'cache_duration': 3600 # 1 hour } } ``` ### Caching Strategy 1. **L1 Cache**: In-memory (5 minutes) 2. **L2 Cache**: Redis (1 hour) 3. **L3 Cache**: SQLite (persistent) ## AI Integration ### Natural Language Queries ```python # Example queries queries = [ "How can I increase my lightning damage?", "What's the best chest armor for my budget?", "Should I respec for more defense?", "Which passive nodes give the most DPS?", "How do I transition to CI?", "What uniques work well with my build?" ] ``` ### Context-Aware Responses The AI maintains context about: - Current character state - Previous questions - Build goals - Budget constraints - Playstyle preferences ## Development ### Running Tests ```bash # Run all tests pytest # Run specific test suite pytest tests/test_calculator.py # Run with coverage pytest --cov=src tests/ ``` ### Code Quality ```bash # Format code black src/ tests/ # Lint flake8 src/ tests/ # Type checking mypy src/ ``` ### Database Migrations ```bash # Create migration alembic revision --autogenerate -m "description" # Apply migrations alembic upgrade head # Rollback alembic downgrade -1 ``` ## Configuration Configuration is managed via environment variables and `config.yaml`: ```yaml # config.yaml server: host: 127.0.0.1 port: 8080 workers: 4 database: url: sqlite:///data/poe2_optimizer.db pool_size: 10 api: poe_api_rate_limit: 10 poe2db_rate_limit: 30 enable_caching: true ai: provider: anthropic # or openai model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 max_tokens: 4096 temperature: 0.7 web: port: 3000 enable_build_sharing: true max_saved_builds_per_user: 50 features: enable_trade_integration: true enable_pob_export: true enable_ai_insights: true ``` ## Security & Privacy -
