You run an MCP server that connects to your Fider instance to manage posts, comments, and tags. It exposes a set of tools you can access from an MCP client to list, create, update, and delete content, all while handling authentication and permissions according to your role within Fider.

How to use

You use an MCP client to interact with the server. Start the MCP server locally or run it from a trusted environment, then configure your client with the provided connection details. Use the available tools to perform operations such as listing posts, creating posts, commenting, and tagging, while respecting authentication requirements and role-based permissions.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting:

Ensure you have Python and a compatible runtime for the MCP runner installed, or use the provided runtime tool to launch the server.
A Fider instance to connect to and an API key if you plan to create, edit, or delete posts.

Concrete steps to run the MCP server from the example configuration:

uvx --from mcp-fider==2025.06.27.170000 --refresh-package mcp-fider mcp-fider

# Optional: run directly from GitHub
uvx --from git+https://github.com/ringostat/fider-mcp.git mcp-fider

Configuration and usage notes

Configure access to your Fider instance by setting the environment variables used by the MCP server. These variables tell the server where to reach Fider and how to authenticate when performing write operations.

export FIDER_BASE_URL="https://your-fider-instance.com"
export FIDER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Example client configuration

To connect your MCP client to the local server, provide the following configuration for the MCP client you are using. This example uses the standard run command to launch the MCP server and exposes the necessary environment variables.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fider": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "mcp-fider==2025.06.27.170000", "--refresh-package", "mcp-fider", "mcp-fider"],
      "env": {
        "FIDER_BASE_URL": "https://your-fider-instance.com",
