Overview

Firefly III MCP MCP Server + A2A Agent

Firefly III API + MCP Server + A2A Agent — personal finance manager

This repository is actively maintained - Contributions are welcome!

Key Features

• Action-routed MCP tools — each domain is exposed as a single MCP tool that routes to many underlying operations via an action argument, keeping the tool surface small.
• Three interfaces, one package — use it as a Python API client, an MCP server (stdio / streamable-http / sse), or a Pydantic-AI A2A agent.
• agent-utilities native — built on the shared framework (auth, action router, telemetry, governance) for fleet consistency.
• Per-tool toggles — enable or disable each tool domain with environment switches.
• Enterprise-ready — OTEL/Langfuse telemetry and optional Eunomia access governance.

Available MCP Tools

Each tool is action-routed: pass an action and a JSON params_json payload. Tool domains can be toggled on or off with the listed environment variable. The table below is auto-generated from the live server by the mcp-readme-table pre-commit hook (python -m agent_utilities.mcp.readme_tools) — do not edit it by hand.

28 action-routed tools (default MCP_TOOL_MODE=condensed). Each is enabled unless its toggle is set false; set MCP_TOOL_MODE=verbose (or both) for the 1:1 per-operation surface. Auto-generated — do not edit.

Installation

Install with uvx (no install — run on demand)

uvx --from firefly-iii-mcp firefly-iii-mcp      # MCP server
uvx --from firefly-iii-mcp firefly-iii-agent    # A2A agent server

Install with pip

python -m pip install firefly-iii-mcp            # core (API client)
python -m pip install "firefly-iii-mcp[all]"     # + MCP server + A2A agent + telemetry

Console scripts

After installation the following entry points are available on your PATH:

Command	Description
firefly-iii-mcp	Launch the MCP server
firefly-iii-agent	Launch the A2A agent server

Usage

As a Python API client

from firefly_iii_mcp.auth import get_client

client = get_client()
status = client.get_system_status()
print(status)

As an MCP server (CLI)

# Local stdio (for IDEs)
firefly-iii-mcp

# Networked streamable-http
firefly-iii-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Calling an MCP tool

Tools are action-routed — pass an action plus a JSON params_json string:

{
  "tool": "system_operations",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "status",
    "params_json": "{}"
  }
}

MCP

Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in stdio (local), streamable-http (networked), or sse mode.

Environment Variables

• FIREFLY_III_URL: The URL of the target service.
• FIREFLY_III_TOKEN: The API token or access token.

stdio Transport (local IDEs — Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firefly-iii-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "firefly-iii-mcp", "firefly-iii-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FIREFLY_III_URL": "https://service.example.com",
        "FIREFLY_III_TOKEN": "your_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Streamable-HTTP Transport (networked / production)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firefly-iii-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "firefly-iii-mcp", "firefly-iii-mcp", "--transport", "streamable-http", "--port", "8000"],
      "env": {
        "TRANSPORT": "streamable-http",
        "HOST": "0.0.0.0",
        "PORT": "8000",
        "FIREFLY_III_URL": "https://service.example.com",
        "FIREFLY_III_TOKEN": "your_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Additional Deployment Options

firefly-iii-mcp can also run as a local container (Docker / Podman / uv) or be consumed from a remote deployment. The Deployment guide has full, copy-paste mcp_config.json for all four transports — stdio, streamable-http, local container / uv, and remote URL:

• Local container / uv — launch the server from mcp_config.json via uvx, docker run, or podman run, or point at a local streamable-http container by url.
• Remote URL — connect to a server deployed behind Caddy at http://firefly-iii-mcp.arpa/mcp using the "url" key.

Install Python Package

python -m pip install firefly-iii-mcp
