### Description (declared)

# PythonAnywhere Model Context Protocol Server

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction)
server acts as a bridge between AI-powered tools and your
[PythonAnywhere](https://www.pythonanywhere.com/) account, enabling secure,
programmatic management of files, websites, webapps, and scheduled tasks. By
exposing a standardized interface, it allows language models and automation
clients to perform operations—such as editing files, deploying web apps, or
scheduling jobs -- on your behalf, all while maintaining fine-grained control
and auditability.

## Features
- **File management**: Read, upload, delete files and list directory trees.
  _(also enables debugging with direct access to log files, which are just
  files on PythonAnywhere)_
- **ASGI Web app management**: Create, delete, reload, and list.
  _(as described in the [PythonAnywhere ASGI
  documentation](https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ASGICommandLine))_
- **WSGI Web app management**: Create, delete, reload, patch, list, and get
  info.
- **Scheduled task management**: List, create, update, and delete.
  _(Note that this enables LLMs to execute arbitrary commands if a task is
  scheduled too soon after creation and deleted after execution. For that we
  would suggest running it with [mcp-server-time](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-time/)
  as models easily get confused about time.)_

## Installation
The MCP protocol is well-defined and supported by various clients, but
installation is different depending on the client you are using. We will
cover cases that we tried and tested.

In all cases, you need to have `uv` installed and available in your `PATH`.

Have your PythonAnywhere API token and username ready. You can find (or
generate) your API token in the [API section of your PythonAnywhere
account](https://www.pythonanywhere.com/account/#api_token).

If your account is on `eu.pythonanywhere.com`, you also need to set
`PYTHONANYWHERE_SITE` to `eu.pythonanywhere.com`…
