Common questions

Is poe-data-mcp - Path of Exile game data safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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:

"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.

git clone https://github.com/charleslucas/poe-data-mcp.git

cd poe-data-mcp pip 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:

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

Windows:

"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.
