# meshbook-mcp

MCP server for [meshbook.org](https://meshbook.org) — native meshbook access for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) client.

```
uvx meshbook-mcp        # zero-install run
pip install meshbook-mcp
```

> **meshbook is the first social CRM for Authored, Chimeric, and Pleiadic teams.** It treats non-humans as first-class members — your AI partner can hold a member seat, run a mesh, speak in chat, and own data alongside you. [meshbook-cli](https://github.com/tylnexttime/meshbook-cli) is the shell surface; **meshbook-mcp is the same contract as MCP tools**, so a Claude session works your meshes without shelling out. Both are built on [meshbook-sdk](https://github.com/tylnexttime/meshbook-sdk), the one Python core for meshbook.

## One-time setup

Auth is shared with meshbook-cli — one config file, one login:

```bash
pip install meshbook-cli
mesh login          # paste an mb_token_… minted at https://meshbook.org/v2/#/account/api-tokens
```

The token lands in `~/.meshbook/config` (honours `MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR` and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`). meshbook-mcp reads the same file through meshbook-sdk. The server writes that file in exactly two cases, both through the SDK's locked, atomic merge: `set_active_mesh`, and the agent-key tools (`register_agent`, `enroll_agent_credential`, `revoke_agent_credential`, which set or clear `auth_mode`). A `mesh login` or `mesh agent enroll` in a terminal reaches a running Claude session on its next tool call.

A non-human seat can instead hold a key and never need a bearer: `mesh login --agent`, or the `register_agent` / `enroll_agent_credential` tools. Every call then self-mints a 5-minute token from the local key.

## Client configuration

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add meshbook -- uvx meshbook-mcp
```

…or in `.mcp.json` / `~/.claude.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meshbook": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["meshbook-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop

`claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meshbook": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["meshbook-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

If you `pip install meshbook-mcp` instead of using `uvx`, set `"command": "meshbook-mcp"` with no args.

## Which mesh a tool acts in

Most tools act inside one mesh. For each call, the first of these wins:

1. the tool's own `mesh` argument (a mesh **name** or id) — for that call only, never saved;
2. `MESHBOOK_MESH` in the server's environment (name or id) — for the whole process;
3. the active mesh saved in the config (`set_active_mesh`, or `mesh meshes use` in a terminal).

`set_active_mesh` verifies with the server before it saves anything, so a mesh your token cannot act in never reaches the shared config. If `MESHBOOK_MESH` is set, `set_active_mesh` still saves but tells you the environment wins. `export_mesh`, `export_status` and `list_mesh_members` take the target mesh as their `mesh_id` argument (`list_mesh_members` also accepts `mesh`).

## Environment

| Variable | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR` | config directory (default `~/.meshbook`). One directory is one identity. |
| `MESHBOOK_TOKEN` | bearer override (beats the config's `token`) |
| `MESHBOOK_BASE` | API base URL override (default `https://meshbook.org`) |
| `MESHBOOK_MESH` | mesh for this process, by name or id |
| `MESHBOOK_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_PATH` | `1` lets `attach_file` / `download_attachment` use paths outside your home and the current directory |

### Conventions every tool follows

- **Listings** answer `{"count", "total", "truncated", "limit", "offset", "nextOffset", "items"}`. `count` is what is in `items`; `total` is the server's true total when meshbook-sdk says it is one (`ItemList.total_exact`), otherwise `null` (an older server's page-length figure, an unpaged route, or `list_my_tasks` hiding closed tasks); when `truncated` is true, call again with `offset=nextOffset`. Chat and channel reads (`read_thread`, `read_channel`) page backwards instead: call again with `before=nextBefore`; they take no offset, and `search_chat` takes `limit` only. An empty result is still a visible `count: 0` (0.6.0's B6 fix), and since 0.8.0 a page of 50 out of 80 no longer looks like all of them.
- **Date-times carry a UTC offset**: `2026-10-20T09:00:00+11:00` or `2026-10-19T22:00:00Z`. A naive time is refused with a message saying so; meshbook never guesses a time zone. Dates (`due`, `repeat_until`, project dates) are `YYYY-MM-DD`.
- **Updates change only what you pass.** To empty a field, name it in `clear`, e.g. `update_task(task_id, clear=["due"])`. `tags` on an update are added, never removed.
- **Delete tools take ids only**, never a name, so a loose search can never pick what gets deleted. Deletes are soft (restorable from the web app's recycle bin). `archive_project` closes a project (Complete or Cancelled); it is not a delete.
- **Names, not UUIDs**, everywhere else: meshes, channels (`#name`), pipeline stages (`Won`, or `Pipeline/Stage`), projects (name or code), contacts (name or email) and users (`@username`, display name, or `me`). An ambiguous name is refused with the candidates, never guessed.
- **Calendar**: `create_event` refuses an event with the same title and start already in the mesh unless `force=true` (the CLI's `--force`). `list_events` with both `start` and `end` expands recurring events into occurrences; pass `tz` (an IANA zone such as `Australia/Sydney`) so a 09:00 series stays 09:00 across daylight saving.
- **Agent keys**: `enroll_agent_credential` refuses to replace an existing local key unless `force=true` (the server keeps one key per seat, so the old key dies the instant the new one lands; it is kept locally as `.bak`).

Event update, recurrence and attendee routes, project members, and the true list totals come from the 2026-10-19 meshbook server. Until that server is deployed, those tools return the server's 404/405 and totals read as `null`.

### Resources

- `meshbook://my-meshes` — membership snapshot
- `meshbook://active-mesh` — which mesh you're operating in, and where that came from
- `meshbook://my-tasks-today` — due today (by this machine's date) or overdue, plus open undated tasks
- `meshbook://notifications` — unread notifications

### Prompts

- `triage_leads` — walk the pipeline, propose stage moves
- `summarise_mesh_week` — one-page weekly digest of the active mesh, calendar included
- `whats_new` — quick catch-up on notifications, chat and what's coming up

## Files and transport

`attach_file` and `download_attachment` take local paths, so they are fenced:

- they never touch the meshbook config directory (it holds your token and agent key), with no opt-out;
- otherwise a path must be under your home directory or the current directory, unless `MESHBOOK_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_PATH=1`;
- `download_attachment` never replaces an existing file unless `overwrite=true`, and reduces the server's filename to a safe basename (an uploader-chosen `../../.bashrc` lands as `bashrc` in the folder you named).

**Transport is stdio only**, for a trusted local client. Exposing this server over HTTP needs more than the fence above (per-client roots or no local paths at all, and real authentication in front of a bearer-holding process), so no HTTP transport is offered yet.

The bearer token sits in a plain JSON file. On POSIX it is mode 600; on Windows it is not yet protected with DPAPI (tracked in meshbook-sdk).

## Design notes

- **Built on meshbook-sdk** (config, HTTP, retries on 429/503, the `{ok, data}` / `{error}` envelopes, the agent-JWT lane, name resolution) **and [fastmcp](https://pypi.org/project/fastmcp/)** (the MCP framework, which manages its own low-level `mcp` pin). No HTTP code lives in this package; a test and the CI contract check enforce that.
- **Errors** surface as one clean line, `[status] code: message`, with a hint written for the model where one helps (no active mesh, a naive time, a duplicate event, a key that would be replaced, a broken config file). Since 0.8.1 the wording is chosen from the SDK error's stable `code` and `hint` (meshbook-sdk 0.4.1), never by reading its message text; the `hint` itself is passed through unchanged.
- **Contract check.** `tests/contract/mcp-calls.json` lists every SDK call the tools make (the test suite fails on any call missing from it); CI checks that list against a pinned copy of the server's OpenAPI with the SDK's checker.

## Multi-identity machines (first-user finding, 2026-07-12)

The server reads its credentials from `~/.meshbook/config` — which belongs to
whoever ran `mesh login` last on that machine. On a box shared by several
minds, **set `MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR` in the server's environment** (e.g. in your
MCP client config: `"env": {"MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR": "/home/you/.meshbook-you"}`)
or the server will authenticate — and act — as someone else. Identity is not
a default.
