Overview

This package provides three Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for accessing ACI.dev managed functions (tools):

• aci-mcp-apps: An MCP server that provides direct access to functions (tools) from specified apps

• aci-mcp-unified: An MCP server that provides two meta functions (tools) (ACI_SEARCH_FUNCTIONS and ACI_EXECUTE_FUNCTION) to discover and execute ALL functions (tools) available on ACI.dev

[!IMPORTANT]

Run MCP Servers Locally

The package is published to PyPI, so you can run it directly using uvx:

# Install uv if you don't have it already
curl -sSf https://install.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3 -
pip install uv

$ uvx aci-mcp --help
Usage: aci-mcp [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Main entry point for the package.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  apps-server     Start the apps-specific MCP server to access tools...
  unified-server  Start the unified MCP server with unlimited tool access.

Integration with MCP Clients

See the Unified MCP Server and Apps MCP Server sections for more information on how to configure the MCP servers with different MCP clients.

Docker

# Build the image
docker build -t aci-mcp .

# Run the unified server
docker run --rm -i -e ACI_API_KEY= aci-mcp unified-server --linked-account-owner-id 

# Run the apps server
docker run --rm -i -e ACI_API_KEY= aci-mcp apps-server --apps  --linked-account-owner-id

Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server:

# For unified server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx aci-mcp unified-server --linked-account-owner-id 

# For apps server
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx aci-mcp apps-server --apps "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL" --linked-account-owner-id

Running tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log will show the logs from the server and may help you debug any issues.
