Overview

What is 🍓 pihole-mcp-serer?

The 🍓 pihole-mcp-serer is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Pi-hole functionality as tools for AI assistants. It allows AI tools to manage local DNS records, query DNS history, and retrieve metrics from one or multiple Pi-hole instances.

How to use 🍓 pihole-mcp-serer?

Create a .env file with PIHOLE_URL and PIHOLE_PASSWORD (and optionally up to three additional Pi-holes). Run the server via Docker (docker-compose up -d) for production or with uv run mcp dev main.py for development. Then configure an MCP client (e.g., Goose or Claude Desktop) to connect to the SSE endpoint at http://localhost:8383/sse.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dependencies?

Docker is required for production deployment. For development, `uv` is optional to run the server locally.

How do I configure multiple Pi-holes?

Add `PIHOLE2_URL`, `PIHOLE2_PASSWORD`, and optionally `PIHOLE2_NAME` in the `.env` file. Repeat for up to four Pi-holes.

How do I run the server without Docker?

Use `uv run mcp dev main.py` after installing `uv` and any required dependencies.

What transport protocol does it use?

The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) on port 8383 by default. Clients like Goose connect directly; Claude Desktop uses a proxy (`mcp-remote`) to bridge STDIO to SSE.

How does authentication work?

Credentials are set via environment variables (`PIHOLE_URL`, `PIHOLE_PASSWORD`) in the `.env` file. No other authentication mechanism is documented.
