PythonAnywhere Model Context Protocol Server
Until 2026-09-26 this record combined several servers published from one repository. The others now have records of their own: pythonanywhere-mcp-server. Checks from before that date include them.
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"pythonanywhere-pythonanywhere-mcp-server","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

# 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**: Reload only _(at the moment)_. - **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). ### Desktop Extension - works with Claude Desktop Probably the most straightforward way to install the MCP server is to use the [desktop e…
