# Porkbun MCP Server

[![MCP](https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-Model%20Context%20Protocol-blue)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools to interact with the [Porkbun API (v3)](https://porkbun.com/api/json/v3/documentation).

## Prerequisites

*   [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18 or later recommended)
*   npm (usually included with Node.js)
*   Porkbun API Key and Secret Key ([generate here](https://porkbun.com/account/api))

## Setup

1.  **Clone the repository:**
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/miraclebakelaser/porkbun-mcp-server.git
    cd porkbun-mcp-server
    ```

2.  **Install dependencies:**
    ```bash
    npm install
    ```

3.  **Configure API Keys:**
    You can provide your Porkbun API Key and Secret Key in multiple ways (highest precedence first):
    *   **System Environment Variables:** Set `PORKBUN_API_KEY` and `PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY` in your system environment.
    *   **Custom `.env` File:** Create a `.env` file at a custom location and specify its path using the `--dotenv-path` (or `-p`) command-line argument when running the server (see Running the Server section).
    *   **Default `.env` File:** Create a file named `.env` in the project root directory (`porkbun-mcp-server/.env`) with the following content:
        ```dotenv
        PORKBUN_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
        PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY
        ```
    Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` and `YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY` with your actual keys.
    **Important:** Add `.env` files to your `.gitignore` if you plan to commit this project to version control.

## Building

Compile the TypeScript code to JavaScript:

```bash
npm run build
```
This will create the executable JavaScript file in the `build/` directory.

## Running the Server

You can run the compiled server directly using Node.js.

**Standard Start:**
Uses the default `.env` location or system environment variables.
```bash
npm start
# or directly:
node build/index.js
```

**Start with Custom `.env` Path:**
Use the `--dotenv-path` or `-p` argument to specify the location of your `.env` file:
```bash
node build/index.js --dotenv-path /path/to/your/.env
# or shorthand:
node build/index.js -p /path/to/your/.env
```

**Development Mode:**
The `dev` script watches for changes and rebuilds/restarts automatically. To pass arguments like `--dotenv-path` to the underlying `node` command when using `npm run dev`, you typically need to use `--`:
```bash
# Development with default .env
npm run dev

# Development with custom .env path
npm run dev -- --dotenv-path /path/to/your/.env
# or
npm run dev -- -p /path/to/your/.env
```

The server communicates using the MCP `stdio` transport (standard input/output).

## Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

*   **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
*   **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
    (Create the file if it doesn't exist).

**Important:** Replace the placeholder paths below with the correct **absolute paths** on your specific system.

Make sure to use the **absolute path** to the `build/index.js` file in this project. You can also pass the `--dotenv-path` argument here if needed:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "porkbun": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/your/porkbun-mcp-server/build/index.js",
        // Optional: Add custom .env path if needed
        // "--dotenv-path",
        // "/absolute/path/to/your/.env"
      ]
      // Optional: If keys aren't in the environment where Claude runs the server
      // (and not using .env or --dotenv-path), you can add them here:
      // "env": {
      //   "PORKBUN_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      //   "PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY": "YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY"
      // }
    }
    // Add other servers here if needed
  }
}
```

Remember to replace `/absolute/path/to/your/porkbun-mcp-server/build/index.js` (and the optional `.env` path if used) with the correct absolute paths on your system. Save the configuration file and **restart Claude Desktop**.

The Porkbun tools should now be available within Claude.
