### Description (declared)

# denario-mcp

A lightweight, local **MCP client** for [Denario](https://denario-web.vercel.app)
— an AI research assistant you drive from Claude. It runs on your machine and
owns all local filesystem + git work; the private research pipeline runs
remotely on Google Cloud Run and only ever returns generated data (text,
PDFs), never source code.

## Why a local client

Running project setup remotely could never create files on your own disk, and
creating a GitHub repo from inside a container would use the *server's*
GitHub identity, not yours. So all file and git work happens locally, under
your own identity — only the confidential research compute itself is remote.

## Install

```bash
pip install denario-mcp
```

Deliberately lightweight: it depends only on `mcp` and `httpx`, not on the
Denario research stack itself — that stays entirely on the server.

`git` and the GitHub CLI (`gh`, signed in via `gh auth login`) are
**optional**. Without them your project is still created and every generated
file is still written to disk — only the git/GitHub side of a few tools is
skipped.

## Use with Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add denario \
  -e DENARIO_API_KEY=denario_live_your_key_here \
  -e DENARIO_CLOUD_URL=https://denario-mcp-engine-tnf7nmfboa-uc.a.run.app \
  -- denario-mcp
```

Or, editing the MCP config by hand (`~/.claude.json`, or a project's
`.mcp.json`):

```jsonc
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "denario": {
      "command": "denario-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DENARIO_API_KEY": "denario_live_your_key_here",
        "DENARIO_CLOUD_URL": "https://denario-mcp-engine-tnf7nmfboa-uc.a.run.app"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
