Prometheux MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) client that enables AI agents like Claude to interact with Prometheux knowledge graphs and reasoning capabilities.

---

For Users

What This Does

This package lets you use Claude Desktop to interact with your Prometheux projects:

• List concepts in your projects
• Run concepts to derive new knowledge
• All through natural conversation with Claude

Prerequisites

• Prometheux account with access to a deployed instance
• Claude Desktop installed on your machine
• Your authentication token from your Prometheux account settings

Installation

Option 1: Automated Install (Recommended)

The easiest way to install - download and run our installation script:

macOS/Linux:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheuxresearch/px-mcp-server/main/install.sh -o install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Windows (PowerShell):

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheuxresearch/px-mcp-server/main/install.ps1" -OutFile "install.ps1"
.\install.ps1

The script will:

• ✅ Install pipx (if not already installed)
• ✅ Install prometheux-mcp package
• ✅ Prompt for your credentials (URL, token, username, organization)
• ✅ Automatically configure Claude Desktop
• ✅ Create backups of existing configuration

Then just restart Claude Desktop and you're ready!

Option 2: Manual Install Using pipx

If you prefer manual installation, use pipx to install the package in an isolated environment:

macOS:

brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install prometheux-mcp

Windows:

pip install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install prometheux-mcp

Linux:

pip install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install prometheux-mcp

Configuration

Note: If you used the automated installation script (Option 1), configuration was done automatically. Skip to the "Using Prometheux with Claude" section below.

For manual installations (Option 2):

1. Get your credentials from your Prometheux account settings:

   • Server URL (e.g., https://api.prometheux.ai)
   • Authentication token
   • Username
   • Organization

2. Configure Claude Desktop by editing the config file:

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

   Configuration Example:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "prometheux": {
         "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/prometheux-mcp",
         "args": ["--url", "https://api.prometheux.ai"],
         "env": {
           "PROMETHEUX_TOKEN": "your_token_here",
           "PROMETHEUX_USERNAME": "your_username",
           "PROMETHEUX_ORGANIZATION": "your_org"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Finding Your Path: Run this in your terminal to find the full path:

   • macOS/Linux: which prometheux-mcp
   • Windows: where prometheux-mcp (in PowerShell or Command Prompt)

   Common paths after pipx install:

   • macOS: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/prometheux-mcp
   • Windows: C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\.local\\bin\\prometheux-mcp.exe (use double backslashes in JSON)
   • Linux: /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/prometheux-mcp

   Note: Username and organization are required for API routing through the gateway.

   Custom URLs: For on-premise deployments or custom URLs, replace https://api.prometheux.ai with your own server URL.

3. Restart Claude Desktop (quit completely with Cmd+Q, then reopen)

Usage

Once configured, just chat with Claude:

"What concepts are available in project customer-analytics?"

"Run the churn_prediction concept in project customer-analytics"

"Show me the high_value_customers from project sales-data with min_value of 1000"

Available Tools

Tool	Description
list_concepts	Lists all concepts in a project
run_concept	Executes a concept to derive new knowledge

Troubleshooting

"command not found" or "Server disconnected" errors:

macOS:

1. Find the full path: which prometheux-mcp
2. Use that full path in your config (usually /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/prometheux-mcp)
3. If still having issues, try pipx: pipx install prometheux-mcp
4. Restart Claude Desktop completely (Cmd+Q, then reopen)

Windows:

1. Find the full path: where prometheux-mcp (in PowerShell or Command Prompt)
2. Use that full path in your config with double backslashes (e.g., C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\.local\\bin\\prometheux-mcp.exe)
3. Restart Claude Desktop

"Connection refused" error: Check that your Prometheux server URL is correct and accessible. Test with: curl [YOUR_URL]/mcp/info

"Authentication failed" error: Verify your token is correct in the config. Generate a new token from your Prometheux account settings if needed.

Check logs:

• macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-prometheux.log
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-prometheux.log
