### Description (declared)

# dtrpg-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an LLM search your
[DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com) library and the public
DriveThruRPG catalog for tabletop RPG products, returning structured details
(title, description, publisher, authors, game system, and DriveThruRPG
product id) for each match.

It speaks MCP over **stdio** and exposes two tools: `search_library` (your
purchased products) and `search_products` (the general public catalog).

## Requirements

- Python >= 3.12
- A DriveThruRPG **Application Key** (see [Getting an API key](#getting-a-drivethrurpg-api-key) below)

## Installation

```bash
pip install dtrpg-mcp
```

or, to run it without installing anything permanently:

```bash
uvx dtrpg-mcp
```

## Configuration

The server needs one environment variable:

| Variable         | Required | Description                                                             |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `DTRPG_API_KEY`  | Yes      | Your DriveThruRPG Application Key, used to authenticate against the API. |

You can set it directly in your shell/MCP client config, or drop a `.env`
file next to your project (the server walks up from its own install
location looking for `.env`, so a `.env` in your working directory or a
parent of it will be picked up automatically via `python-dotenv`).

### Getting a DriveThruRPG API key

1. Log in to [drivethrurpg.com](https://www.drivethrurpg.com).
2. Go to **My Account -> Application Keys** (or open
   `https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/account/application-keys` directly).
3. Click **Generate New Key**, give it a name (e.g. "dtrpg-mcp"), and create it.
4. Copy the generated key — this is your `DTRPG_API_KEY`.

The key only grants access to your library and to the public product
catalog search; it does not expose your payment details or let anything
make purchases on your behalf.
