transformerbeemcp 0.0.5

MCP server for transformer.bee

TransformerBee.MCP

This is a simple PoC of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for transformer.bee, written in Python. Under the hood it uses python-mdc and transformerbeeclient.py.

Installation

uv install transformerbeemcp

or if you are using pip:

pip install transformerbeemcp

Start the Server inside the CLI

The package ships a simple CLI argument to start the server. In a terminal inside the virtual environment in which you installed the package (here myvenv), call:

(myvenv) run-transformerbee-mcp-server

Install directly into Claude Desktop

If you checked out this repository

cd path/to/reporoot/src/transformerbeemcp
mcp install server.py

If you installed the package via pip/uv

Modify your claude_desktop_config.json (that can be found in Claude Desktop menu via "Datei > Einstellungen > Entwickler > Konfiguration bearbeiten"):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "TransformerBee.mcp": {
      "command": "C:\\github\\MyProject\\.myvenv\\Scripts\\run-transformerbee-mcp-server.exe",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "TRANSFORMERBEE_HOST": "http://localhost:5021",
        "TRANSFORMERBEE_CLIENT_ID": "",
        "TRANSFORMERBEE_CLIENT_SECRET": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

where C:\github\MyProject\.myvenv is the path to your virtual environment where you installed the package and localhost:5021 exposes transformer.bee running in a docker container. Alternatively, if you haven't configured this handy CLI command https://github.com/Hochfrequenz/TransformerBee.mcp/blob/c0898769670469df13f23b57a55fe4b71ed9795b/pyproject.toml#L101-L102

you can just call python with non-empty args.

Note that this package marks uv as a dev-dependency, so you might need to install it pip install transformerbeempc[dev] in your virtual environment as well as a lot of MCP tooling assumes you have uv installed.

For details about the environment variables and/or starting transformer.bee locally, check transformerbeeclient.py docs.
