Packages and local setup

The published pypi package is evolution-api-mcp, version 1.0.0. Its declared MCP transport is stdio.

The package declares EVOLUTION_API_URL (required): URL of your Evolution API server (e.g. https://evolution.example.com). Evolution API 2.x is required.; EVOLUTION_INSTANCE_TOKEN (required): The token of this one instance (Evolution Manager: open the instance and copy its token). The server's global AUTHENTICATION_API_KEY is refused. The instance name and integration are discovered from the token.; EVOLUTION_MCP_TOOLSETS: Toolsets to enable: a comma list of instance, messaging, chats, contacts, groups, labels, profile, status, catalog, templates, settings, events, integrations, or the presets core and all. Default: core (messaging, chats, contacts). The --toolsets option overrides it.; EVOLUTION_MCP_ALLOW: Tools that change data the agent may call. (default) allows every tool not denied; none makes the server read-only; or a comma list of tool names. Reads are never gated by this list.; EVOLUTION_MCP_DENY: Tool names the agent may never call. A value set here REPLACES the default list, which is post_status, remove_group_participants, set_webhook, set_event_channel, set_proxy, set_chatwoot_config.; EVOLUTION_MCP_ALLOW_IRREVERSIBLE: Tools that cannot be undone (logout_instance, delete_message_for_everyone, leave_group, delete_template, delete_chatbot, delete_openai_credential) run only when this is yes (also true or 1). Default: no.; EVOLUTION_MCP_DEFAULT_DELAY_MS: Milliseconds of 'typing...' Evolution shows before each message is sent when a call gives no delay. Integer from 0 to 20000. Default: 1200.; EVOLUTION_MCP_MAX_WRITES_PER_MINUTE: Maximum number of tools that change data per minute on this server; 0 turns the limit off. Integer, 0 or more. Default: 30.; EVOLUTION_MCP_FILE_ROOTS: Folders send_local_files may read: absolute paths of existing directories separated by the operating system's path separator (':' on macOS and Linux, ';' on Windows). Default: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Movies and Music in the home folder (those that exist) plus the download folder.; EVOLUTION_MCP_DOWNLOAD_DIR: Absolute folder where download_message_media saves received files and export_chat its exports/ folders. Default: ~/Downloads/evolution-api-mcp.; EVOLUTION_MCP_TIMEZONE: IANA time zone for the times tools show and for times given without a zone, e.g. Europe/Rome. Default: the computer's zone (TZ, then /etc/localtime), else UTC..

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
