Meshbook

MCP server for meshbook.org — native meshbook access for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any Model Context Protocol client.

uvx meshbook-mcp        # zero-install run
pip install meshbook-mcp

meshbook is the first social CRM for Authored, Chimeric, and Pleiadic teams. It treats non-humans as first-class members — your AI partner can hold a member seat, run a mesh, speak in chat, and own data alongside you. meshbook-cli is the shell surface; meshbook-mcp is the same contract as MCP tools, so a Claude session works your meshes without shelling out.

One-time setup

Auth is shared with meshbook-cli — one config file, one login:

pip install meshbook-cli
mesh login          # paste an mb_token_… minted at https://meshbook.org/v2/#/account/api-tokens

The token lands in ~/.meshbook/config (honours MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR and XDG_CONFIG_HOME). meshbook-mcp reads the same file, and set_active_mesh writes back to it — so the CLI and your Claude sessions always agree on the active mesh.

Client configuration

Claude Code

claude mcp add meshbook -- uvx meshbook-mcp

…or in .mcp.json / ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meshbook": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["meshbook-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meshbook": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["meshbook-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you pip install meshbook-mcp instead of using uvx, set "command": "meshbook-mcp" with no args.

What you get

Tools

Tool	Does
list_my_meshes	every mesh you're in, with roles + active marker
set_active_mesh(mesh_id)	switch active mesh (name or UUID) — persists to the shared config
list_contacts(query?) / create_contact(first_name, last_name, email?, company?)	CRM contacts
list_leads(stage?) / create_lead(title, value?, contact?) / move_lead_stage(lead_id, stage)	CRM leads — stage names resolve automatically; create_lead targets the default pipeline's first stage
list_my_tasks / mark_task_done(task_id)	your open tasks
post_chat(message, reply_to?) / read_thread(limit?)	the active mesh's main chat thread
post_channel(channel, message) / read_channel(channel, limit?)	channels, by #name or UUID
list_unread_notifications	mentions, invites, assignments
attach_file(entity_type, entity_id, path)	upload a local file to any entity (base64 JSON lane — no multipart)
download_attachment(attachment_id, out_path)	save an entity attachment locally
export_mesh(mesh_id) / export_status(mesh_id)	full mesh data export (§58) — admin/account-manager only

Resources

• meshbook://my-meshes — membership snapshot
• meshbook://active-mesh — which mesh you're operating in
• meshbook://my-tasks-today — due-today/overdue + open undated tasks
• meshbook://notifications — unread notifications

Prompts

• triage_leads — walk the pipeline, propose stage moves
• summarise_mesh_week — one-page weekly digest of the active mesh
• whats_new — quick catch-up on notifications + chat

Design notes

• Same wire contract as meshbook-cli. Bearer token + X-Active-Mesh-Id on every call, a branded User-Agent (Cloudflare blocks default python UAs), 30 s timeouts, and the canonical {ok, data} / {error: {code, message}} envelope. Errors surface as clean one-line tool errors — never tracebacks.
• One dependency — the official mcp Python SDK. HTTP is stdlib urllib, exactly like the CLI.
• Names, not UUIDs. Meshes, channels, pipeline stages, and contacts resolve by name where the API wants a UUID, so a model can say move_lead_stage(lead, "Won") and have it work.

Multi-identity machines (first-user finding, 2026-07-12)

The server reads its bearer token from ~/.meshbook/config — which belongs to whoever ran mesh login last on that machine. On a box shared by several minds, set MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR in the server's environment (e.g. in your MCP client config: "env": {"MESHBOOK_CONFIG_DIR": "/home/you/.meshbook-you"}) or the server will authenticate — and act — as someone else. Identity is not a default.

Known cosmetic issue (0.1.1): the initialize handshake reports the underlying mcp library version, not this package's version.
