Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant look up Path of Exile game data — gems, unique items, passive nodes, mods, maps, scarabs, live prices, and Path of Building builds.

What you can do
Provides search and detail tools for Path of Exile content: gems, unique items, passive tree nodes, item modifiers, maps and scarabs, plus a wiki page fetcher. It also queries poe.ninja for current item and currency prices and parses Path of Building export codes or share URLs into a full build summary with gear, skills, tree nodes, and key stats. Data is fetched at runtime from poedb.tw, poe.ninja, and poewiki.net.
When to use it
Useful when a player wants an assistant to answer Path of Exile questions, compare item prices, check modifier tiers, or walk through a Path of Building guide step by step. It is a fan-made lookup tool, not a game client integration.
Requirements
Python 3.10+ and an MCP-compatible client; the package is published on PyPI and can be run with uvx or pipx, or installed from source. Internet access is required because all data is fetched at runtime. No API key is needed. An optional POEMCP_CACHE_DIR environment variable overrides the Craft of Exile cache location.
Before you install
It fetches data from third-party sites (poedb.tw, poe.ninja, poewiki.net) at runtime, so queries and any pasted build codes or URLs are sent to those services. The optional fetch_youtube_* tools use bundled yt-dlp. It is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Grinding Gear Games, and is stated to be for personal, non-commercial use.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open PoeMCP — Path of Exile game data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

poe-data-mcp

This product is not affiliated with or endorsed by Grinding Gear Games in any way.

An MCP server that gives any LLM access to Path of Exile game data — gems, unique items, passive tree nodes, item modifiers, maps, scarabs, live pricing, and Path of Building build parsing.

Data is fetched at runtime from poedb.tw, poe.ninja, and poewiki.net. No API key required.

Part of poe_mcp_suite

This server is part of poe_mcp_suite — a collection of MCP servers for Path of Exile. The suite works with any MCP-compatible AI agent, and ships an analysis framework that is additionally optimized for Claude Code. See the suite repo for an overview of all available servers and tools.

Installation

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • An MCP-compatible client — e.g. Claude Desktop / Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, or Zed
  • Internet access (all data is fetched at runtime)

Quick install (recommended) — no clone, no manual setup

poe-data-mcp is published to PyPI, so an ephemeral runner like uvx or pipx can fetch and run it on demand — nothing to clone or keep updated. Add this to your MCP client config:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "poe-data-mcp": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["poe-data-mcp"]    }  }}

The Craft of Exile cache is stored in your platform user-cache dir (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\poe-data-mcp\Cache on Windows, ~/.cache/poe-data-mcp elsewhere); override with the POE_DATA_MCP_CACHE_DIR env var. The optional fetch_youtube_* tools use the bundled yt-dlp.

From source

⚠️ Python 3.10+ is required. poe-data-mcp will not work without it. Download from python.org if you don't have it.

bash
git clone https://github.com/charleslucas/poe-data-mcp.gitcd poe-data-mcppip install -e .

You can then launch it via the poe-data-mcp command, python -m poe_data_mcp, or python server.py.

💡 Not sure how to configure your client? Ask your AI assistant directly: "Guide me step by step to add a local MCP server called poe-data-mcp to my MCP client config. The command is python and the argument is the full path to server.py in the poe-data-mcp folder I cloned." It will walk you through finding the config file and adding the correct JSON block for your OS.

MCP Configuration

The mcpServers block below is the same shape used by most MCP clients (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, Zed…) — only the config file location differs. Replace the path with the directory where you cloned the repo. For a step-by-step visual walkthrough, see examples.md.

Claude Desktop

File location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS / Linux:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "poe-data-mcp": {      "command": "python",      "args": ["/path/to/poe-data-mcp/server.py"]    }  }}

Windows:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "poe-data-mcp": {      "command": "python",      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\poe-data-mcp\\server.py"]    }  }}

Claude Code (CLI)

Add to your project's .mcp.json. See mcp.json.example for the template.

Note: Use the full absolute path to server.py.
