Prerequisites

Installation

pip install publicdotcom-mcp-server

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/publicdotcom/publicdotcom-mcp-server.git
cd publicdotcom-mcp-server
pip install .

Configuration

Set your API credentials as environment variables:

# Required
export PUBLIC_COM_SECRET=your_api_secret_key

# Optional — sets a default account so you don't need to specify it each time
export PUBLIC_COM_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id

Usage

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "public-com": {
      "command": "publicdotcom-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "PUBLIC_COM_SECRET": "your_api_secret_key",
        "PUBLIC_COM_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (using uvx)

If you prefer using uvx (no pre-install needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "public-com": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["publicdotcom-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PUBLIC_COM_SECRET": "your_api_secret_key",
        "PUBLIC_COM_ACCOUNT_ID": "your_account_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Running Directly

# stdio transport (default — for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.)
publicdotcom-mcp-server

# Or run as a Python module
python -m publicdotcom_mcp_server

Hosted / Remote Deployment

For remote deployments (behind a reverse proxy or load balancer), switch to the streamable-HTTP transport:

export MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
export PUBLIC_COM_SECRET=your_api_secret_key
export PORT=8000  # optional, defaults to 8000
export HOST=0.0.0.0  # optional, defaults to 0.0.0.0
publicdotcom-mcp-server

In this mode the server listens for MCP requests at POST /mcp. Clients authenticate per-request via an Authorization: Bearer <key> header, which takes priority over the PUBLIC_COM_SECRET environment variable — useful for multi-tenant deployments.

Testing with MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector publicdotcom-mcp-server

Development

# Clone and install in development mode
git clone https://github.com/publicdotcom/publicdotcom-mcp-server.git
cd publicdotcom-mcp-server
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Run the server locally
python -m publicdotcom_mcp_server

How It Works

This server wraps the publicdotcom-py Python SDK, exposing each API operation as an MCP tool. The MCP protocol allows AI clients to discover and call these tools through a standardized interface.

AI Client (Claude, etc.)
    ↕ MCP Protocol (stdio)
Public.com MCP Server
    ↕ HTTPS

All tools include proper MCP tool annotations:

  • Read-only tools are marked with readOnlyHint: true

  • Write tools are marked with destructiveHint: true
