Installation — mcp-pcloud docs

⚠️ Draft — not working yet. The authentication flow is under active development.

✅ Prerequisites

Node.js 20+
A pCloud account
A pCloud access token, exposed via MCP_PCLOUD_TOKEN or ~/.config/pcloud/tokens.json

🚀 Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add mcp-pcloud -- npx -y @kud/mcp-pcloud

🖥️ Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-pcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kud/mcp-pcloud"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_PCLOUD_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — the pCloud tools appear automatically.

⚡ Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-pcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kud/mcp-pcloud"]
    }
  }
}

🧩 VSCode

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-pcloud": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kud/mcp-pcloud"]
    }
  }
}

🔐 Authentication

The server resolves your token in this order:

The MCP_PCLOUD_TOKEN environment variable
~/.config/pcloud/tokens.json

The token file format:

{
  "access_token": "your-token-here",
  "hostname": "api.pcloud.com"
}

hostname is optional — omit it to default to api.pcloud.com. Use eapi.pcloud.com for EU accounts.

Verify a token manually:

curl "https://api.pcloud.com/userinfo?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN"

A result: 0 response confirms the token is valid.
