📦 Claude Desktop MCP Bundle

Prerequisites: Claude Desktop.

One-click installation:

1. Download the latest .mcpb from releases
2. Double-click the .mcpb file to install it into Claude Desktop
3. Call any Malt tool

First time, a browser window pops up so you can log into Malt. Session is saved in ~/.malt-mcp/ and reused across restarts.

[!NOTE] Google OAuth doesn't work (blocked by Google when automated). Use email/password.

🚀 uvx Setup (Universal)

Prerequisites: uv installed.

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "malt": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["malt-mcp@latest"],
      "env": { "UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT": "300" }
    }
  }
}

@latest pulls the newest version from PyPI on each launch. First auth-requiring call opens a browser for login.

To log in ahead of time:

uvx malt-mcp@latest --login

Docker (coming soon)

⚙️ CLI Options

Option	Description
--login	Open browser to log in and save session
--logout	Clear stored browser profile
--no-headless	Show browser window (debug)
--log-level	Set log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
--timeout	Browser timeout in ms (default: 5000)

❗ Troubleshooting

Login issues:

• Google OAuth won't work. Use email/password.
• Session expired? Re-run uvx malt-mcp@latest --login.
• Cloudflare challenge on first load is normal — the browser handles it, give it a few seconds.

Timeout issues:

• Pages not loading? Try --timeout 10000. Slow connections might need 15000.

Browser issues:

• Headless mode doesn't work — Cloudflare blocks it. The browser window is expected.
• First run downloads Chromium (~200 MB via Patchright). One-time thing.

🔒 How it works

Under the hood, this is browser automation via Patchright (Playwright fork). No API, no reverse-engineering — it drives a real browser like you would.

• Credentials stay local. Cookies live in ~/.malt-mcp/profile/, nowhere else.
• Read-only. Nothing is modified on your Malt account (for now).
• Runs locally. The server talks to Malt.fr and nothing else.

[!IMPORTANT] Malt's TOS may prohibit automated tools. Don't bulk-scrape. Use responsibly.
