ERPNext MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for ERPNext integration

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides integration with ERPNext/Frappe API. It enables AI assistants to interact with ERPNext data and functionality through the Model Context Protocol.

Features

Resources

  • Access ERPNext documents via erpnext://{doctype}/{name} URIs
  • JSON format for structured data access

Tools

  • authenticate_erpnext - Authenticate with ERPNext using username and password
  • get_documents - Get a list of documents for a specific doctype
  • create_document - Create a new document in ERPNext
  • update_document - Update an existing document in ERPNext
  • run_report - Run an ERPNext report
  • get_doctype_fields - Get fields list for a specific DocType
  • get_doctypes - Get a list of all available DocTypes

Configuration

The server requires the following environment variables:

  • ERPNEXT_URL - The base URL of your ERPNext instance
  • ERPNEXT_API_KEY (optional) - API key for authentication
  • ERPNEXT_API_SECRET (optional) - API secret for authentication

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "erpnext": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/erpnext-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "ERPNEXT_URL": "http://your-erpnext-instance.com", "ERPNEXT_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "ERPNEXT_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret" } } } }

To use with Claude in VSCode, add the server config to:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
