PythonAnywhere Model Context Protocol Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server acts as a bridge between AI-powered tools and your PythonAnywhere account, enabling secure, programmatic management of files, websites, webapps, and scheduled tasks. By exposing a standardized interface, it allows language models and automation clients to perform operations—such as editing files, deploying web apps, or scheduling jobs -- on your behalf, all while maintaining fine-grained control and auditability.
Features
- File management: Read, upload, delete files and list directory trees. (also enables debugging with direct access to log files, which are just files on PythonAnywhere)
- ASGI Web app management: Create, delete, reload, and list. (as described in the PythonAnywhere ASGI documentation)
- WSGI Web app management: Create, delete, reload, patch, list, and get info.
- Scheduled task management: List, create, update, and delete. (Note that this enables LLMs to execute arbitrary commands if a task is scheduled too soon after creation and deleted after execution. For that we would suggest running it with mcp-server-time as models easily get confused about time.)
