Kalvium Livebooks MCP

A read-only MCP server that lets an MCP client such as Claude Desktop browse the Livebooks accessible through your own existing Kalvium browser session. It uses Playwright's persistent profile and does not implement, bypass, or reverse engineer authentication.

Setup

Requires Python 3.13 and Google Chrome.

py -3.13 -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chrome

Log into https://app.kalvium.community in the Chrome profile stored in playwright-profile. The profile must not be open in another Chrome process when the MCP server is running.

Tools

• list_livebooks: lists Livebooks you can access.

• list_lessons(livebook_id): expands each module and lists its lessons.

• get_lesson(url): returns a lesson converted to Markdown for studying.

The scraper opens pages only on app.kalvium.community, validates lesson URLs, and closes Chrome after each request.
