What is the Progi MCP server?

Progi MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Progi directly instead of describing what you should do. An MCP-native workflow engine that teaches your agent how you like to get things done.

What you get

Progi teaches your agent how you like to get things done. So you can do your best work without re-explaining your process or losing context between sessions.

Setting it up

The server ships on PyPI as progi, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 3 environment variables: PROGI_WEB_PORT, PROGI_DB_PATH, PROGI_WEB_HOST. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Choosing this one

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up.

This entry was verified against Progi's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the progi mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Progi to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Progi directly.
