PoeMCP
This product is not affiliated with or endorsed by Grinding Gear Games in any way.
An MCP server that gives any LLM access to Path of Exile game data — gems, unique items, passive tree nodes, item modifiers, maps, scarabs, live pricing, and Path of Building build parsing.
Data is fetched at runtime from poedb.tw, poe.ninja, and poewiki.net. No API key required.
Part of poe_mcp_suite
This server is part of poe_mcp_suite — a collection of MCP servers for Path of Exile. The suite works with any MCP-compatible AI agent, and ships an analysis framework that is additionally optimized for Claude Code. See the suite repo for an overview of all available servers and tools.
Installation
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- An MCP-compatible client — e.g. Claude Desktop / Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, or Zed
- Internet access (all data is fetched at runtime)
Quick install (recommended) — no clone, no manual setup
PoeMCP is published to PyPI, so an ephemeral runner like uvx or pipx can fetch and run it on demand — nothing to clone or keep updated. Add this to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"poemcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["poemcp"]
}
}
}
The Craft of Exile cache is stored in your platform user-cache dir (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\poemcp\Cache on Windows, ~/.cache/poemcp elsewhere); override with the POEMCP_CACHE_DIR env var. The optional fetch_youtube_* tools use the bundled yt-dlp.
From source
⚠️ Python 3.10+ is required. PoeMCP will not work without it. Download from python.org if you don't have it.
git clone https://github.com/charleslucas/POEMCP.git
cd POEMCP
pip install -e .
You can then launch it via the poemcp command, python -m poemcp, or python server.py.
💡 Not sure how to configure your client? Ask your AI assistant directly: "Guide me step by step to add a local MCP server called PoeMCP to my MCP client config. The command is
pythonand the argument is the full path toserver.pyin the POEMCP folder I cloned." It will walk you through finding the config file and adding the correct JSON block for your OS.
MCP Configuration
The mcpServers block below is the same shape used by most MCP clients (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, Zed…) — only the config file location differs. Replace the path with the directory where you cloned the repo. For a step-by-step visual walkthrough, see examples.md.
Claude Desktop
File location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS / Linux:
{
"mcpServers": {
"poemcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/PoeMCP/server.py"]
}
}
}
Windows:
{
"mcpServers": {
"poemcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["C:\\path\\to\\PoeMCP\\server.py"]
}
}
}
Claude Code (CLI)
Add to your project's .mcp.json. See mcp.json.example for the template.
