Summary
Automates Malt.fr interactions through browser control using Patchright, letting Claude pull your freelance profile, view stats like response rates and profile views, and read mission conversations. Six tools cover authentication, profile lookups (yours or others), statistics, mission lists, and detailed mission data including budgets and messages. Session cookies persist locally in ~/.malt-mcp/ so you authenticate once. Everything runs read-only against the live site since Malt has no public API. Email/password login only, Google OAuth blocked. Useful if you juggle Malt missions and want profile metrics or inbox context available during client conversations without switching windows.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

📦 Claude Desktop MCP Bundle
Prerequisites: Claude Desktop.
One-click installation:
- Download the latest
.mcpbfrom releases - Double-click the
.mcpbfile to install it into Claude Desktop - Ask Claude "connecte-moi a Malt" - a browser opens, you log in, done
- Call any Malt tool
No terminal needed. Session is saved in ~/.malt-mcp/ and reused across restarts.
[!NOTE] Google OAuth doesn't work (blocked by Google when automated). Use email/password.
🚀 uvx Setup (Universal)
Prerequisites: uv installed.
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client):
{
"mcpServers": {
"malt": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["malt-mcp@latest"],
"env": { "UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT": "300" }
}
}
}
@latest pulls the newest version from PyPI on each launch. First auth-requiring call opens a browser for login.
To log in ahead of time:
uvx malt-mcp@latest --login
Docker (coming soon)
⚙️ CLI Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--login | Open browser to log in and save session |
--logout | Clear stored browser profile |
--no-headless | Show browser window (debug) |
--log-level | Set log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) |
--timeout | Browser timeout in ms (default: 5000) |
❗ Troubleshooting
Login issues:
- Google OAuth won't work. Use email/password.
- Session expired? Re-run
uvx malt-mcp@latest --login. - Cloudflare challenge on first load is normal - the browser handles it, give it a few seconds.
Timeout issues:
- Pages not loading? Try
--timeout 10000. Slow connections might need15000.
Browser issues:
- Headless mode doesn't work - Cloudflare blocks it. The browser window is expected.
- First run downloads Chromium (~200 MB via Patchright). One-time thing.
- Upgrading from v0.3.x? Run
uvx malt-mcp@latest --logoutthen--login. The browser engine changed from system Chrome to managed Chromium.
🔒 How it works
Under the hood, this is browser automation via Patchright (Playwright fork). No API, no reverse-engineering - it drives a real browser like you would.
- Credentials stay local. Cookies live in
~/.malt-mcp/profile/, nowhere else. - Read-only. Nothing is modified on your Malt account (for now).
- Runs locally. The server talks to Malt.fr and nothing else.
[!IMPORTANT] Malt's TOS may prohibit automated tools. Don't bulk-scrape. Use responsibly.
