Bloom Growth MCP server

The Bloomy MCP server provides an interface to Bloom Growth's GraphQL API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants to perform operations on the Bloom Growth platform programmatically.

Installation Requirements

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• Access to Bloom Growth API
• uv (recommended) or pip for package management

Setting Up Package Management

This project recommends using uv, a faster alternative to traditional Python package managers.

To install uv:

curl -sSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Server Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Create and activate a Python virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the package:

Using uv (recommended):

uv pip install -e .

Using pip:

pip install -e .

Environment Configuration

Create a .env file with your Bloom Growth API credentials:

BLOOM_API_URL=<Your Bloom API URL>
BLOOM_API_TOKEN=<Your Bloom API Token>

Using the MCP Server

Starting the Server

Launch the server with:

bloomy-server

Cursor IDE Integration

To integrate with Cursor (AI-powered IDE):

1. Go to Cursor > Cursor Settings > MCP
2. Click "Add new MCP server"
3. Configure the server:
   • Name: "Bloom Growth" (or any preferred name)
   • Type: Command
   • Command: uv run --project /path/to/your/repo/ --env-file /path/to/your/repo/.env bloomy-server

Note: Replace /path/to/your/repo/ with the actual path to your bloomy-mcp repository.

Available MCP Tools

The server provides several tools that AI assistants can use:

• get_query_details - Retrieves information about specific GraphQL queries
• get_mutation_details - Retrieves information about specific GraphQL mutations
• execute_query - Runs a GraphQL query or mutation with variables
• get_authenticated_user_id - Gets the ID of the currently authenticated user

Available MCP Resources

The server exposes these resources:

• bloom://queries - Lists all available queries
• bloom://mutations - Lists all available mutations

Debugging with MCP Inspector

For development purposes, you can inspect the server's behavior:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector bloomy-server

Environment Management Tips

For a smoother workflow, consider using direnv:

1. Install direnv (e.g., brew install direnv on macOS)
2. Create a .envrc file in your project root:

   export BLOOM_API_URL=your_api_url
   export BLOOM_API_TOKEN=your_api_token
   

3. Run direnv allow to authorize the environment variables

This automatically loads your environment variables when you enter the project directory.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "bloom-growth" '{"command":"uv","args":["run","--project","/path/to/your/repo/","--env-file","/path/to/your/repo/.env","bloomy-server"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bloom-growth": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "--project",
                "/path/to/your/repo/",
                "--env-file",
                "/path/to/your/repo/.env",
                "bloomy-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bloom-growth": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "--project",
                "/path/to/your/repo/",
                "--env-file",
                "/path/to/your/repo/.env",
                "bloomy-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
