pp-mcp — MCP Server for Portfolio Performance

A read-only MCP server that provides filtered account and portfolio data from one or more Portfolio Performance .portfolio files — e.g. to generate reports from them (transactions of an account, distributions/interest/taxes for a period, etc.).

Files are only read, never modified. Supports unencrypted and AES-encrypted (password-protected) files. Works as a standard MCP server with any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, etc.) or your own scripts.

📖 Full documentation is in the Wiki — installation (local & Docker, single- & multi-source), connecting AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, others), example prompts, and the complete tool reference (parameters/return values) for scripting against pp-mcp directly.

Quick start

pip install -r requirements.txt
export PP_FILE_PATH=/path/to/file.portfolio
python -m src.main   # from the repo root; runs on http://localhost:8080

Or with Docker:

cp .env.example .env
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

See the Installation wiki page for the production/multi-source Docker setup, all environment variables, and connecting an AI assistant (Configuring AI Tools).

Terminology

Portfolio Performance uses the word "portfolio" for two different things, which can be ambiguous — pp-mcp uses these terms consistently everywhere (tool descriptions, parameters, the wiki):

• Source (parameter source) — one complete .portfolio file, i.e. one configured data source. See list_data_sources.

• Portfolio (parameter portfolio_name) — a securities portfolio/depot within a source (Portfolio Performance's own internal term for this object). See list_portfolios.

• Account (parameter account) — a cash account within a source. See list_accounts.

• Security (parameter security) — a stock, fund, ETF, etc. See list_securities.

If it's unclear whether "portfolio" refers to a source or a portfolio/depot in a given context, check list_data_sources and list_portfolios to see which one actually matches.

Structure

• src/config.py — Pydantic settings (env / .env).

• src/portfolio.py — Portfolio class (mtime-based cache, name↔UUID resolution, filtering & aggregation, one instance per source) + PortfolioRegistry (manages multiple Portfolio instances based on the configured sources, one per source id).

• src/mcp_server.py — FastMCP tools (thin wrappers around the registry), optional bearer auth.

• src/price_feed.py — SSRF-protected scraper for the GENERIC_HTML_TABLE price feed (ariva.de), used by refresh_prices.

• src/main.py — server startup.

• src/pp_parser/ — vendored parser (decrypts/decompresses the file, reads protobuf).
