# Kapruka MCP

Gives your coding agent the Kapruka.com REST API as MCP tools, so it can look up products and place orders from the chat.

## What it does

Kapruka MCP is a Python server that turns the Kapruka.com REST API into tools for LLMs and MCP clients. It is built on FastMCP, talks to the store through an async `httpx` client with error handling, and splits its tools into modules by area such as products and orders. Settings come from environment variables. A small developer CLI, `cli.py`, starts the server, pings the API and lists the registered tools.

Most people will just point a client at `https://mcp.kapruka.com/mcp`. Self-hosting takes more: a Python virtual environment, the dev dependencies, and a `.env` holding the Kapruka API URL and key. Without that key the local copy has nothing to talk to. The server runs on streamable HTTP at port 8000; `--stdio` is there for MCP Inspector sessions.

Partner access is a separate path. Callers who can't be IP-allowlisted identify themselves with an `X-Partner-Key` header and can carry per-customer limits in `X-Partner-Customer-Id`; both are set through `PARTNER_KEYS`, `PARTNER_SCOPES` and `PARTNER_LIMITS`. That is server-side configuration, not something you touch when wiring the MCP server into an editor.
