{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pocketbase-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/pocketbase-mcp-server/build/index.js --pb-url=http://localhost:8090 --pb-admin-email=admin@example.com --pb-admin-password=your-secure-password"
    }
  }
}

PocketBase Configuration

To enable the PocketBase collections tool, you must provide the following configuration either as command line arguments or environment variables:

• --pb-url=<url> or PB_URL - The URL of your PocketBase instance (e.g., http://localhost:8090)
• --pb-admin-email=<email> or PB_ADMIN_EMAIL - Admin email for authentication
• --pb-admin-password=<password> or PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD - Admin password for authentication

If using environment variables, you can set them like this:

export PB_URL=http://localhost:8090
export PB_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
export PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-secure-password

Example using command line arguments:

node build/index.js --pb-url=http://localhost:8090 --pb-admin-email=admin@example.com --pb-admin-password=your-secure-password

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
