What is the MCP Kintone Lite MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with MCP Kintone Lite, the mcp kintone lite mcp server is the bridge. Simple and lightweight Kintone MCP server for connecting AI assistants to Kintone applications and data. Perfect for automating workflows and integrating Kintone with AI tools.

What MCP Kintone Lite does

Simple and lightweight Kintone MCP server for connecting AI assistants to Kintone applications and data. Perfect for automating workflows and integrating Kintone with AI tools.

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides AI assistants like Claude with secure access to Kintone applications and data. It implements the MCP standard to enable seamless integration between AI applications and Kintone's business process platform.

Key capabilities

  • 🔐 Secure Kintone authentication via Basic Authentication (username/password)
  • 📊 Access to all Kintone apps (based on user permissions)
  • 🔍 Query execution with filtering and pagination
  • 📝 CRUD operations on Kintone records
  • 🛡️ Built-in security and validation
  • 🚀 Easy setup and configuration

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:

  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server

Installing the mcp kintone lite mcp server

The server is distributed via PyPI as mcp-kintone-lite, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

The server reads 3 environment variables: KINTONE_SUBDOMAIN, KINTONE_USERNAME, KINTONE_PASSWORD. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher - Kintone account with username and password - Kintone subdomain (e.g., yourcompany.cybozu.com)

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Kintone Lite sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Installation — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by luvl, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp kintone lite mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
