Frequently asked questions

What is PocketBase MCP Server?

It is an MCP server that acts as a bridge between AI agents (via the Model Context Protocol) and a PocketBase backend, allowing CRUD operations on records, files, collections, logs, cron jobs, and migrations.

How do I configure the server?

Set the `POCKETBASE_API_URL` environment variable to your PocketBase instance URL (defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:8090`) and `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_TOKEN` to an admin authentication token generated from the PocketBase admin UI.

What tools does the server provide?

Tools are grouped into Record Management (fetch_record, list_records, create_record, update_record, upload_file, download_file, list_collections, get_collection_schema), Log Management (list_logs, get_log, get_logs_stats), Cron Job Management (list_cron_jobs, run_cron_job), and Migration Management (set_migrations_directory).

Does the server require authentication?

Yes, the `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_TOKEN` is required. Log and Cron Job tools additionally require admin authentication and may not be available in all PocketBase configurations.

How is file download handled?

The `download_file` tool returns the file URL; the actual download must be performed separately by the client using that URL.
