Use it locally
Add it to any MCP client as a stdio server, e.g. Claude Code:
claude mcp add waterloo -- python /path/to/waterloo-mcp/server.pyHost it
To reach it from anywhere (phone, web), run it over HTTP behind any HTTPS reverse proxy. Fill in .env from .env.example (your URL, and a GitHub, Google or Discord OAuth app so only you can sign in), then:
docker compose up -d
python login.py --push <ssh-host>:<path-to-this-folder>--push sends the cookies straight into the container and keeps no local copy. Add https://<your-domain>/mcp to your client as a remote server. Hosted, every file also gets a one-time download link that streams through the server without touching disk.
