## Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/hlebtkachenko/pohoda-mcp.git
cd pohoda-mcp
npm ci
npm run build
```

## Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pohoda": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/pohoda-mcp/dist/index.js"],

## Security

- Credentials via environment variables only
- `STW-Authorization` Basic auth per POHODA mServer specification
- `STW-Application: pohoda-mcp` header for audit trail in POHODA monitoring

- XML escaping handled by xmlbuilder2 for all user-provided values
- Path traversal prevention for file downloads (normalize + reject `..` prefixed paths)
- Input validation via Zod on all tool parameters

## POHODA mServer Setup

1. Open POHODA → Settings → mServer
2. Create a new mServer configuration
3. Set the listening port (default: 444)
4. Start the mServer
5. Ensure the user has XML communication rights (Settings → Access Rights → File → Data Communication)

For internet access, use HTTPS or VPN. mServer is primarily designed for local network use.

## Tech Stack

- TypeScript
- `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
- Zod (schema validation)
- xmlbuilder2 (XML generation)
- fast-xml-parser (XML parsing)

B3/5.0

Scored across 48 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools are clearly distinct by resource type (e.g., address, invoice, stock) and action (create, list, delete, update), but some Czech document types like převodka, příjemka, prodejka, výdejka, výroba may be ambiguous to non-Czech speakers without clearer descriptions of their specific purposes within the ERP system.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'pohoda_verb_noun' pattern with snake_case, using clear verbs like create, list, delete, update, and download. This predictability makes it easy for agents to understand and navigate the toolset.

Tool Count2/5

With 48 tools, the count is excessive for typical MCP server purposes, likely overwhelming agents and indicating poor scoping. While POHODA is a comprehensive ERP system, many tools could be consolidated or omitted to reduce complexity and improve usability.

Completeness4/5

The toolset provides broad coverage for POHODA's ERP domain, including CRUD operations for key resources like addresses, invoices, orders, and stock, plus listing exports and status checks. Minor gaps exist, such as missing update tools for some document types (e.g., invoices, offers) and limited delete operations, but core workflows are well-supported.
