This MCP Server provides two core tools to help you manage Maine burn permits and monitor fire danger: check current fire danger levels for Maine towns and automate the burn permit application process. You can connect to it from MCP clients, enabling seamless queries and form submissions through a consistent, AI-friendly interface.

How to use

You interact with the server through an MCP client. Start by configuring a local or GitHub-based runtime, then ask questions like the current fire danger in a Maine town or begin a burn permit application. Use the available tools to retrieve up-to-date risk data and to submit permit requests when conditions permit burning.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before running the server:

Node.js (version 18 or higher recommended)
npm or yarn
Chrome/Chromium (required for Puppeteer-based web scraping)

Configuration and runtime options

You can run this MCP server locally or deploy it so clients can connect via standard MCP transports. The following runtime configurations are shown in examples. Pick the one that matches how you want to run the server.

Additional configuration options

Two common ways to run this MCP server from clients like Claude Desktop are demonstrated below. The first uses a direct GitHub-based runtime with npx, and the second runs the server locally via node from a built distribution.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter issues with Puppeteer, ensure Chrome/Chromium is installed and that your system has the necessary dependencies for headless browsing. For network-related problems, confirm access to Maine Fire Weather and the Maine burn permit sites. Always verify data and permit details manually in addition to automated results.
