Laserfiche MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude (Desktop, Code, or any MCP client) search, read, and - when you opt in - write documents in a self-hosted Laserfiche repository. The same binary is also a full command-line client (ls, get, cat, search, manifest, dedupe, ...) for the deterministic work that needs no model at all. Its 34 documented tools cover definitions, template, document, folder.

People who work with definitions, template and document and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Laserfiche MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set LF_REPO_API_URL, LF_REPOSITORY_ID, LF_USERNAME, LF_PASSWORD, LF_AUTH_MODE, LF_HTTP_OAUTH_ISSUER, LF_HTTP_PUBLIC_URL, LF_HTTP_OAUTH_AUDIENCE, LF_HTTP_OAUTH_REQUIRED_SCOPES before connecting. LF_API_VERSION, LF_READ_ONLY are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add samuelshernandez-laserfiche-mcp -- uvx laserfiche-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "samuelshernandez-laserfiche-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "laserfiche-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package laserfiche-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.SamuelSHernandez is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] Read this before exposing --http to a network. - Configure auth: OAuth (LF_HTTP_OAUTH_ISSUER) for multi-user, or at least a long random LF_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN. Binding off-loopback with neither logs a warning and leaves your repository reachable unauthenticated.
