PoeMCP

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.

Installation

Requirements

• Claude Desktop, Claude Code (CLI), or any other MCP-compatible client
• Internet access (all data is fetched at runtime)

Quick install (recommended) — no clone, no manual setup

PoeMCP is published to PyPI as poe-buildmcp, so an ephemeral runner like uvx 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": ["--from", "poe-buildmcp", "poemcp"]
    }
  }
}

• Claude Desktop config location: macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Claude Code (CLI): add the same block to your project's .mcp.json — see mcp.json.example
• Requires uv installed (which provides uvx); no separate Python install needed, uvx manages its own interpreter.

💡 Not sure how to configure Claude? Ask Claude directly: "Add an MCP server called PoeMCP to my config, using command uvx and args [\"--from\", \"poe-buildmcp\", \"poemcp\"]." Claude will walk you through finding the config file and adding the correct JSON block for your OS.

Manual install (for development / hacking on the source)

⚠️ Python 3.10+ is required for this path. Download from python.org if you don't have it.

git clone https://github.com/shalayiding/POEMCP.git
cd POEMCP
pip install -e .

Then point your MCP config at the cloned copy instead of uvx:

macOS / Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "poemcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/PoeMCP/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "poemcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\PoeMCP\\server.py"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools Reference

search_gem

Search for Path of Exile gems by name or description keyword.

get_gem_detail

Get detailed information about a specific gem.

search_item

Search for Path of Exile unique items by name, base type, or mod keyword.

get_item_detail

Get detailed information about a specific unique item.

search_passive

Search for passive skill tree nodes by name or stat keyword.

get_passive_detail

Get full information about a specific passive skill tree node.

passive_tree_path

Find the shortest passive-tree path from a build's currently allocated nodes to a target node — mirrors Path of Building's own pathing algorithm, so the point cost is exact, not estimated.

search_mods

Search for item modifiers (prefixes and suffixes) available on a given item type.

env_search

Search for maps and scarabs by name or keyword.

env_detail

Get detailed information about a specific map or scarab.

price_check

Search poe.ninja for the current price of an item or currency.

currency_overview

Get the top currency exchange rates from poe.ninja.

fetch_wiki_page

Fetch and extract readable content from a poewiki.net page.

parse_pob

Parse a Path of Building share URL into a full build summary.
