WoW Armory MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to World of Warcraft Armory data and functionality.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with World of Warcraft character information through Blizzard's Armory website, providing tools for character lookups and reputation tracking.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• uv package manager
• Git

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd wow-armory-mcp
   

2. Set up virtual environment:

   uv venv
   

3. Install dependencies:

   uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
   

Note: The command installs dependencies from pyproject.toml rather than a traditional requirements.txt file.

Configuration

Claude Desktop Integration

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop settings:

Location of config file:

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

Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wow-armory": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/your/wow-armory-mcp",
        "run",
        "server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Important: Replace /path/to/your/wow-armory-mcp with the actual absolute path to your cloned repository.

Environment Variables

If your server requires API credentials or configuration, create a .env file in the project root:

# Add any required environment variables here
# Example:
# WOW_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

Once configured, restart Claude Desktop. The WoW Armory server will automatically start when Claude needs to access WoW-related information.

Available Tools

The server provides tools for interacting with WoW Armory data:

• Character Information - Get detailed character information including level, class, race, and gear
• Character Reputation - Retrieve character reputation standings with various factions

Development

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Command not found: uv"

   • Install uv following the official documentation

2. "Permission denied" errors

   • Ensure the path in your Claude Desktop config uses forward slashes, even on Windows
   • Verify the absolute path is correct

3. API authentication failures

   • Verify any required API credentials are properly configured
   • Check your .env file if authentication is required

4. Server won't start

   • Verify all dependencies are installed: uv pip list
   • Check the server logs for specific error messages

Debugging

Enable debug logging by setting the environment variable:

export MCP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
