Requirements

Usage
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"groupme": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["groupme-mcp"],
"env": {
"GROUPME_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
}
}
}
}
Until published to PyPI, use
uv runwith--directorypointing to a local clone instead ofuvx.
Local development
git clone https://github.com/KalebJS/groupme-mcp
cd groupme-mcp
export GROUPME_TOKEN=<your-token>
uv run mcp dev main.py # opens MCP Inspector in browser
Getting a Token
oauth/get_token.py runs a local OAuth flow using only the Python stdlib — no extra dependencies.
- Create an application at dev.groupme.com/applications.
- Set the callback URL to
http://localhost:8080/callback. - Run the helper:
python oauth/get_token.py --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID
The script opens your browser, waits for the GroupMe redirect, and prints the token along with the export command to set it.
Development
# Install dev dependencies
uv sync --group dev
# Install pre-commit hooks
uv run --group dev pre-commit install
# Run tests
uv run --group dev pytest tests/ -v
# Lint
uv run --group dev pre-commit run --all-files
