SimpleShop MCP

Read-only FastMCP server for SimpleShop accounting data.

This server exposes a small MCP tool surface for AI agents that need to audit SimpleShop documents, download document PDFs, inspect products, and review product sales exports before copying data into another accounting system.

It is intentionally read-only. It does not create, update, delete, pay, cancel, send, or mutate SimpleShop records.

Install as a Plugin

simpleshop-mcp ships as a Claude Code / Cowork plugin. In either client:

/plugin marketplace add mikz/simpleshop-mcp
/plugin install simpleshop-mcp@simpleshop-mcp

Credentials are configured outside MCP tool calls. Local stdio mode reads SIMPLESHOP_LOGIN and SIMPLESHOP_API_KEY from environment or .env; remote HTTP deployments should inject the same names from the platform secret manager.

Requirements on the host machine:

• uvx on PATH (install with uv)

• Python 3.13 (uvx will fetch one if missing)

Features

• Find SimpleShop documents across invoices, proformas, receipts, orders, tax documents, and related document types.

• Default document search is payment-reconciliation oriented: invoices, advance invoices, proformas, payment requests, tax documents, and receipts. Orders are explicit because they often duplicate invoice payment keys.

• Batch-download document PDFs, with per-document success/error results.

• Find products through the SimpleShop product API.

• Fetch and normalize SimpleShop "who bought" product sales exports.

• Return metadata useful for accounting filters, including document types, product types, flags, payment methods, number series, and tags.

• Use one reusable HTTP client initialized through FastMCP lifespan dependency injection.

• Redact customer/buyer PII by default, with explicit opt-in for full data.

Tool Surface

simpleshop_test_login
simpleshop_find_documents
simpleshop_download_documents
simpleshop_find_products
simpleshop_get_product_sales
simpleshop_get_metadata

simpleshop_test_login takes no arguments and is the quickest way to confirm the current credentials work. It reports not_logged_in when none are available.

Finder tools use a concrete query object with a required mode field:

{
  "query": {
    "mode": "search"
  }
}

or:

{
  "query": {
    "mode": "by_ids",
    "ids": [123]
  }
}

by_ids mode requires IDs and ignores stray search filters so retry calls remain robust when an agent carries over defaults from schema discovery. For simpleshop_find_documents, omitting document_types defaults to settlement/accounting documents used for payment reconciliation. Pass document_types: ["order"] explicitly for order workflows. Paid-date search uses paid_from and paid_to, which map to SimpleShop's date_paid filter expression; pass the same date to both fields for an exact paid day. Document results include normalized payment_instructions for intended receiving-account details and document paid state. They do not include matched bank transaction evidence.

See TOOLS.md for full schemas, examples, cursor behavior, and privacy controls. The design rationale is in DESIGN.md.

Privacy Defaults

Normal document and sales responses redact customer/buyer PII by default.

Set include_customer_pii: true only when the caller actually needs names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, company IDs, VAT IDs, custom sales fields, raw document payloads, or raw CSV exports.

Raw fields are guarded:

• include_raw requires include_customer_pii: true.

• include_raw_csv requires include_customer_pii: true.

• simpleshop_get_product_sales supports max_sales_rows, total_rows, returned_rows, and truncated for bounded exports.

• Public money values are returned as fixed two-decimal strings. When payment instruction account fields are present, they are normalized under payment_instructions.

Requirements

• Python >=3.13,<3.14

• uv

• Optional: mise for pinned local tool versions

The project currently pins:

• fastmcp[apps]==3.3.0

• httpx==0.28.1

• pydantic==2.13.4

• pydantic-settings==2.14.1

Installation

Using mise:

mise install
mise run sync

Using uv directly:

uv sync --locked

Login And Configuration

Configure credentials through a local .env, environment variables, or your remote runtime secret manager. No MCP tool accepts or persists credentials. To create a local .env:

cp .env.example .env

Credential format:

SIMPLESHOP_LOGIN=user@example.com
SIMPLESHOP_API_KEY=replace-with-api-key

Optional:

SIMPLESHOP_BASE_URL=https://api.simpleshop.cz/2.0/
SIMPLESHOP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=30

Do not commit .env or real API credentials.

Running

The plugin's MCP server config lives inline in .claude-plugin/plugin.json and uses uvx --from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} simpleshop-mcp. No .mcp.json is committed at the repo root, so workspace-mode Claude Code sessions in this directory do not try to launch the server. Run it with one of the commands below instead.

Run the MCP server over stdio:

uv run --locked simpleshop-mcp

With the installed script:

uv run --locked simpleshop-mcp

Run directly from GitHub with uvx:

SIMPLESHOP_LOGIN=user@example.com \
SIMPLESHOP_API_KEY=replace-with-api-key \
uvx --from git+https://github.com/mikz/simpleshop-mcp.git simpleshop-mcp

For local development with FastMCP reload:

mise run mcp

MCP Client Configuration

Example MCP server config:

[mcp_servers.simpleshop]
command = "uv"
args = ["run", "--locked", "simpleshop-mcp"]
cwd = "/path/to/simpleshop-mcp"

If you use mise:

[mcp_servers.simpleshop]
command = "mise"
args = ["run", "mcp"]
cwd = "/path/to/simpleshop-mcp"

Run from GitHub without cloning:

[mcp_servers.simpleshop]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "git+https://github.com/mikz/simpleshop-mcp.git", "simpleshop-mcp"]

Pass credentials through your MCP host environment, not through committed config.

Development

Run tests:

uv run --locked pytest

Run lint:

uv run --locked ruff check .

Check formatting on touched files:

uv run --locked ruff format --check src tests

Live smoke tests are intentionally opt-in because they use real SimpleShop credentials and may expose account data in local logs if run carelessly. See E2E.md.
