python-alfresco

The python-alfresco MCP server is a robust solution for integrating Alfresco with Python applications using the python-alfresco-api and FastMCP 2.0. This server enables developers to efficiently manage content and metadata within an Alfresco environment, leveraging Python's powerful capabilities to facilitate seamless communication and data handling. You can utilize this server to build custom applications that interact with Alfresco's repository, enhancing your workflow and productivity.

Once connected to the python-alfresco MCP server, you can interact with it by sending HTTP requests to perform various operations, such as creating, retrieving, updating, or deleting documents and metadata. You can utilize commands defined in the python-alfresco-api to execute common queries, such as fetching document details or managing user permissions. Make sure to format your queries appropriately based on the API specifications to ensure successful interactions.

To get started with the python-alfresco MCP server, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Python (version 3.6 or higher)
• FastMCP (version 2.0 or higher)

Option A: Quick start with npx

If the server were available as an npm package, you could use the following command:

npx -y python-alfresco

(Note: Since no npm package is specified, this option might not be available.)

Option B: Global install alternative

You can clone the repository and set up the server manually:

git clone https://github.com/stevereiner/python-alfresco-mcp-server.git
cd python-alfresco-mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

After installation, you can start the server with:

python app.py

When configuring the python-alfresco server, ensure you set the necessary environment variables for your Alfresco instance, such as ALFRESCO_URL, ALFRESCO_USER, and ALFRESCO_PASSWORD. A common gotcha is forgetting to secure your Alfresco credentials, so consider using a secure method to manage sensitive information. Additionally, consult the repository's README for any updates or changes in configuration practices.
