Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

Armadilhas

Quando usar: You have a custom app with domain logic (e.g. loan amortization, manufacturing BOM exploder) and want LLMs to call it directly.

Pré-requisitos

A Frappe custom app — Standard bench new-app

Resultado: Your domain logic is now callable from any MCP client, no separate API to build.

Armadilhas

Tool logs sensitive fields into audit log — Mark fields as no_copy or mask in the tool response

Ferramentas

O que este MCP expõe

Ferramenta	Entradas	Quando chamar	Custo
get_document	doctype: str, name: str	Fetch a specific ERPNext document by primary key	1 DB read
get_list	doctype: str, filters?: obj, fields?: str[], limit?: int	List/search documents of a Doctype with filters	1 DB query
create_document	doctype: str, data: obj	Insert a new document — respects validation	1 DB write + hooks
update_document	doctype, name, data	Patch fields on an existing doc	1 DB write
run_report	report_name: str, filters?: obj	Execute a saved Frappe Query/Script/Report Builder report	variable
execute_python_code	code: str	Run arbitrary Python in the Frappe context — ADMIN ONLY, disable for regular users	unbounded
get_chart_data	chart_name / config	Render a Frappe Dashboard chart as data	1 aggregation query

Custo e limites

O que custa rodar

Cota de API: Bounded by your ERPNext site's capacity — treat MCP calls like web UI calls
Tokens por chamada: List queries 500-3000 tokens; single Doc reads 200-800
Monetário: Free — AGPL-3.0. Cost is whatever you pay for ERPNext hosting.
Dica: Always pass fields to get_list — fetching a full Sales Invoice with all child tables can blow through 10k tokens per row.

Segurança

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Escopos mínimos: Whatever role permissions the user already has in ERPNext

Armazenamento de credenciais: OAuth token stored by MCP client; rotate in ERPNext User settings

Saída de dados: Direct from your ERPNext site to the LLM provider you've connected

Nunca conceda: System Manager to the OAuth app unless genuinely needed Enable `execute_python_code` for non-admin users

AGPL-3.0 license — if you run Frappe Assistant Core as a network service, AGPL terms apply to any modifications.
Audit every tool call — ERPNext logs them; review weekly during rollout.

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

OAuth redirect fails / invalid_client

Confirm the OAuth client is registered in ERPNext > OAuth Client and redirect URIs match your MCP client's callback exactly.

Verificar: Check `bench log` and the OAuth Client record

Tool says 'Permission denied' for a Doctype

The logged-in user lacks read/write role. Grant the appropriate role in User permissions.

Verificar: Try the same operation in the ERPNext web UI

Custom plugin tool not appearing

Run bench restart and ensure the app is installed on the site and hooks.py exposes the tool correctly.

Verificar: List tools from Claude — your custom tool should be present

ChatGPT custom connector rejects the endpoint

ChatGPT custom connectors require ChatGPT Plus with Developer Mode. Claude Desktop is more forgiving.

Alternativas

Frappe_Assistant_Core vs. outros

Alternativa	Quando usar	Troca
Direct REST API + custom MCP wrapper	You only need 2-3 operations and don't want to install a Frappe app	You build and maintain the wrapper yourself
Odoo MCP	You're on Odoo instead of ERPNext	Different ERP, different Doctypes
