Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pica-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/pica-mcp-server/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PICA_SECRET": "YOUR_PICA_SECRET_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Setup

This server requires a Pica API key. Set the environment variable:

export PICA_SECRET=your_pica_secret_key

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Example Usage

Once you've added the server config and connected some platforms in the Pica dashboard, restart Claude Desktop and try out some examples:

• What connections do I have access to?
• Send an email using gmail to hello@picaos.com
• What actions can I perform with google sheets?
• Create an event in my calendar
• List 5 users from my postgres users table
• Send a message in slack to the #general channel with today's weather
