AbraFlexi

AbraFlexi MCP Server

[License: MIT] [Python 3.10+] [PyPI version] [Packaging: deb] [M8ven Score]

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AbraFlexi integration using FastMCP and python-abraflexi. This server provides complete access to AbraFlexi REST API functionality through MCP-compatible tools.

Features

69 tools in total, covering the full REST surface exposed by python-abraflexi: dedicated tools for the most common evidences (invoices, contacts, products, bank transactions), plus generic evidence_* tools that work against any AbraFlexi evidence by name.

One server process = one AbraFlexi company. A running server is bound for its whole lifetime to a single company, set via ABRAFLEXI_URL/ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY (see Configuration). Every record any tool returns already belongs to that company - it is not possible to ask this server for another company's data. Call server_info to check which company/URL a running server is bound to; the main record-fetching tools (invoice_issued_get, invoice_received_get, contact_get, product_get, bank_transaction_get, evidence_get, changes_get) also echo it back in a _context block on every response, together with a note clarifying any counterparty fields on the records (e.g. an invoice's nazFirmy is the customer/supplier, not the company that issued/received it).

Cloud Deployment

A testing deployment is available at:

🌐 https://abraflexi.fastmcp.app/mcp

This cloud-hosted instance allows you to test and use the AbraFlexi MCP server without local installation. Configure your MCP client to connect to this endpoint with HTTP transport.

Note: This is a testing deployment. For production use, we recommend self-hosting using one of the installation methods above.

Configuration

Create a .env file or set environment variables:

cp .env.example .env# Edit .env with your AbraFlexi server details

Configuration

Required Environment Variables

• ABRAFLEXI_URL - Your AbraFlexi server URL (e.g., https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434)
• ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY - Company identifier (e.g., demo_de)

Authentication (choose one method)

Method 1: Username/Password (Recommended)

• ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN - Your AbraFlexi username
• ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD - Your AbraFlexi password

Method 2: Session ID

• ABRAFLEXI_AUTHSESSID - Your AbraFlexi session ID

Optional Configuration

• READ_ONLY - Set to true, 1, or yes to enable read-only mode (default: true)
• ABRAFLEXI_TIMEOUT - Request timeout in seconds (default: 300)

Transport Configuration

• ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT - Transport type: stdio (default) or streamable-http

HTTP Transport Configuration (only used when ABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http):

• ABRAFLEXI_MCP_HOST - Server host (default: 127.0.0.1)
• ABRAFLEXI_MCP_PORT - Server port (default: 8000)
• ABRAFLEXI_MCP_STATELESS_HTTP - Stateless mode (default: false)
• AUTH_TYPE - Must be set to no-auth for streamable-http transport

Usage

Running the Server

With startup script (recommended):

uv run python scripts/start_server.py

Direct execution:

uv run python -m abraflexi_mcp_server.server

CLI help:

abraflexi-mcp --help

Transport Options

The server supports two transport methods:

STDIO Transport (Default)

Standard input/output transport for MCP clients like Claude Desktop:

# Set in .env or environmentABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio

HTTP Transport

HTTP-based transport for web integrations:

# Set in .env or environmentABRAFLEXI_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-httpABRAFLEXI_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1ABRAFLEXI_MCP_PORT=8000ABRAFLEXI_MCP_STATELESS_HTTP=falseAUTH_TYPE=no-auth

Testing

Run test suite:

uv run python scripts/test_server.py

Read-Only Mode

When READ_ONLY=true (default), the server will only expose GET operations (retrieve data) and block all create, update, and delete operations. This is useful for:

• 📊 Monitoring dashboards
• 🔍 Read-only integrations
• 🔒 Security-conscious environments
• 🛡️ Preventing accidental modifications

To enable write operations, set READ_ONLY=false in your .env file.

invoice_issued_get(limit=10)

Get specific invoice by code:

invoice_issued_get(kod="INV-2024-001")

changes_enable()page = changes_get(start=0, limit=500, evidences=["faktura-vydana"])# page["changes"], page["next"], page["global_version"]

MCP Integration

This server is designed to work with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop. See MCP_SETUP.md for detailed integration instructions.

OCI Container

The server can be run as an OCI container (Docker/Podman) — no Python installation needed on the host.

Building the image

podman build -t abraflexi-mcp-server -f Containerfile .

Running the container

The image defaults to streamable-http transport on port 8000.

With individual environment variables:

podman run --rm -p 8000:8000 \  -e ABRAFLEXI_URL=https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434 \  -e ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY=demo_de \  -e ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN=winstrom \  -e ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD=winstrom \  abraflexi-mcp-server

With an env file:

podman run --rm -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env abraflexi-mcp-server

Container environment defaults

All other configuration variables can be passed as environment variables.

AppImage

A self-contained, single-file Linux executable — no Python, pip, or any other dependency required on the host.

Building the AppImage

bash appimage/build-appimage.sh

The script downloads a portable CPython and appimagetool automatically. The resulting file is placed in build/appimage/:

build/appimage/AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-<version>-x86_64.AppImage

Running the AppImage

The AppImage automatically loads a .env file from the current working directory if one is present.

With a .env file (recommended):

cp .env.example .env# edit .env with your credentials./AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage

With inline environment variables:

ABRAFLEXI_URL=https://demo.flexibee.eu:5434 \ABRAFLEXI_COMPANY=demo_de \ABRAFLEXI_LOGIN=winstrom \ABRAFLEXI_PASSWORD=winstrom \./AbraFlexi-MCP-Server-*-x86_64.AppImage

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling:

• ✅ Authentication errors are clearly reported
• 🔒 Read-only mode violations are blocked with descriptive messages
• ✔️ Invalid parameters are validated
• 🌐 Network and API errors are properly formatted
• 📝 Detailed logging for troubleshooting

Security Considerations

• 🔑 Store credentials securely in .env file (never commit to git)
• 🔒 Enable read-only mode for monitoring-only use cases
• 🛡️ Use HTTPS for AbraFlexi server connections
• 🔄 Regularly rotate passwords
• 📁 Ensure .env file has proper permissions (600)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Failed:

• Verify ABRAFLEXI_URL is correct and accessible
• Check authentication credentials
• Ensure AbraFlexi API is enabled
• Check firewall/network settings

Permission Denied:

• Verify user has sufficient AbraFlexi permissions
• Check if read-only mode is enabled when trying to modify data

Tool Not Found:

• Ensure all dependencies are installed: uv sync
• Verify Python version compatibility (3.10+)

Debug Mode

Set environment variable for detailed logging:

export DEBUG=1uv run python scripts/start_server.py
