Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install abraflexi-mcp-server

Then run the server: ``bash abraflexi-mcp ``

Option 2: AppImage (Linux)

Download the self-contained AppImage from the latest release:

chmod +x AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage
./AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage

No Python or pip required. See AppImage section for details.

Option 3: Install from Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/VitexSoftware/abraflexi-mcp-server.git
   cd abraflexi-mcp-server

1. Install with uv (recommended):

   uv sync
   uv run python scripts/start_server.py

Or with pip: ``bash pip install -e . abraflexi-mcp ``

Cloud Deployment

A testing deployment is available at:

🌐 https://abraflexi.fastmcp.app/mcp

This cloud-hosted instance allows you to test and use the AbraFlexi MCP server without local installation. Configure your MCP client to connect to this endpoint with HTTP transport.

Note: This is a testing deployment. For production use, we recommend self-hosting using one of the installation methods above.

Configuration

Create a .env file or set environment variables: ```bash cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your AbraFlexi server details

## Configuration

### Required Environment Variables

- `ABRAFLEXI_URL` - Your AbraFlexi server URL (e.g., `https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434`)
- `ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY` - Company identifier (e.g., `demo_de`)

### Authentication (choose one method)

**Method 1: Username/Password (Recommended)**
- `ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN` - Your AbraFlexi username
- `ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD` - Your AbraFlexi password

**Method 2: Session ID**
- `ABRAFLEXI_AUTHSESSID` - Your AbraFlexi session ID

### Optional Configuration

- `READ_ONLY` - Set to `true`, `1`, or `yes` to enable read-only mode (default: `true`)
- `ABRAFLEXI_TIMEOUT` - Request timeout in seconds (default: `300`)

### Transport Configuration

- `ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT` - Transport type: `stdio` (default) or `streamable-http`

**HTTP Transport Configuration** (only used when `ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http`):
- `ABRAFLEXI_MCP_HOST` - Server host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
- `ABRAFLEXI_MCP_PORT` - Server port (default: `8000`)
- `ABRAFLEXI_MCP_STATELESS_HTTP` - Stateless mode (default: `false`)
- `AUTH_TYPE` - Must be set to `no-auth` for streamable-http transport

## Usage

### Running the Server

**With startup script (recommended):**

uv run python scripts/start_server.py ```

Direct execution: ``bash uv run python -m abraflexi_mcp_server.server ``

CLI help: ``bash abraflexi-mcp --help ``

Transport Options

The server supports two transport methods:

STDIO Transport (Default)

Standard input/output transport for MCP clients like Claude Desktop: ```bash

Set in .env or environment

ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio ```

HTTP Transport

HTTP-based transport for web integrations: ```bash

Set in .env or environment

ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http ABRAFLEXI_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 ABRAFLEXI_MCP_PORT=8000 ABRAFLEXI_MCP_STATELESS_HTTP=false AUTH_TYPE=no-auth ```

Testing

Run test suite: ``bash uv run python scripts/test_server.py ``

Read-Only Mode

When READ_ONLY=true (default), the server will only expose GET operations (retrieve data) and block all create, update, and delete operations. This is useful for:

• 📊 Monitoring dashboards
• 🔍 Read-only integrations
• 🔒 Security-conscious environments
• 🛡️ Preventing accidental modifications

To enable write operations, set READ_ONLY=false in your .env file.

Example Tool Calls

Get all issued invoices: ``python invoice_issued_get(limit=10) ``

Get specific invoice by code: ``python invoice_issued_get(kod="INV-2024-001") ``

Create a new contact: ``python contact_create( kod="CUSTOMER01", nazev="Example Company s.r.o.", email="info@example.com", tel="+420123456789" ) ``

Get products: ``python product_get(nazev="Widget", limit=5) ``

Generic evidence query (with pagination/sorting): ``python evidence_get( evidence="faktura-vydana", filter_expr="datVyst >= '2024-01-01'", order="datVyst", order_direction="D", limit=20, start=0 ) ``

Attach a local file to any record: ``python evidence_attach_file(evidence="cenik", kod="PRODUCT01", filepath="/path/to/photo.jpg") ``

Lock an invoice, then export its PDF: ``python evidence_lock(evidence="faktura-vydana", kod="INV-2024-001") evidence_export_report( evidence="faktura-vydana", kod="INV-2024-001", output_path="/tmp/invoice.pdf", report_name="dodaciList" ) ``

Mass-update every price-list item from a supplier: ``python evidence_mass_update( evidence="cenik", filter_expr="dodavatel = 'code:SUPPLIER01'", data={"stitky": "code:VIP"} ) ``

Incremental sync via the Changes API: ```python changes_enable() page = changes_get(start=0, limit=500, evidences=["faktura-vydana"])

page["changes"], page["next"], page["global_version"]

## MCP Integration

This server is designed to work with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop. See [MCP_SETUP.md](MCP_SETUP.md) for detailed integration instructions.

## OCI Container

The server can be run as an OCI container (Docker/Podman) — no Python installation needed on the host.

### Building the image

podman build -t abraflexi-mcp-server -f Containerfile . ```

Running the container

The image defaults to streamable-http transport on port 8000.

With individual environment variables: ``bash podman run --rm -p 8000:8000 \ -e ABRAFLEXI_URL=https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434 \ -e ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY=demo_de \ -e ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN=winstrom \ -e ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD=winstrom \ abraflexi-mcp-server ``

With an env file: ``bash podman run --rm -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env abraflexi-mcp-server ``

Container environment defaults

| Variable | Default | |---|---| | ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT | streamable-http | | ABRAFLEXI_MCP_HOST | 0.0.0.0 | | ABRAFLEXI_MCP_PORT | 8000 | | READ_ONLY | true |

All other configuration variables can be passed as environment variables.

AppImage

A self-contained, single-file Linux executable — no Python, pip, or any other dependency required on the host.

Building the AppImage

bash appimage/build-appimage.sh

The script downloads a portable CPython and appimagetool automatically. The resulting file is placed in build/appimage/:

build/appimage/AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-<version>-x86_64.AppImage

Running the AppImage

The AppImage automatically loads a .env file from the current working directory if one is present.

With a .env file (recommended): ```bash cp .env.example .env

edit .env with your credentials

./AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage ```

With inline environment variables: ``bash ABRAFLEXI_URL=https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434 \ ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY=demo_de \ ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN=winstrom \ ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD=winstrom \ ./AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage ``
