Installation¶

erpnext-agent is a standard Python package and a prebuilt container image. Pick the path that matches how you want to run it.

Requirements¶

Python 3.11 – 3.14.
A reachable ERPNext / Frappe site — see Backing Platform to deploy one locally.

From PyPI (recommended)¶

pip install erpnext-agent

Optional extras¶

The base install is intentionally minimal. Install the extra for what you need:

Extra	Install	Pulls in
`mcp`	`pip install "erpnext-agent[mcp]"`	FastMCP MCP-server runtime (`agent-utilities[mcp]`)
`agent`	`pip install "erpnext-agent[agent]"`	Pydantic-AI agent server + Logfire tracing
`all`	`pip install "erpnext-agent[all]"`	Everything above
`test`	`pip install "erpnext-agent[test]"`	`pytest`, `pytest-asyncio`, `pytest-cov`, `pytest-xdist`

# Typical: run the MCP server and the agent server
pip install "erpnext-agent[all]"

From source¶

git clone https://github.com/Knuckles-Team/erpnext-agent.git
cd erpnext-agent
pip install -e ".[all]"          # editable install with every extra

With uv:

uv pip install -e ".[all]"
uv run erpnext-mcp

Prebuilt Docker image¶

A multi-stage, slim image is published on every release (installs erpnext-agent[all], entrypoint erpnext-mcp):

docker pull knucklessg1/erpnext-agent:latest

docker run --rm -i \
  -e ERPNEXT_URL=https://your-erpnext:8000 \
  -e ERPNEXT_TOKEN=your_api_key:your_api_secret \
  knucklessg1/erpnext-agent:latest        # stdio transport (default)

For an HTTP server with a published port, see Deployment.

Verify the install¶

erpnext-mcp --help
python -c "import erpnext_agent; print(erpnext_agent.__version__)"

Next steps¶

Deployment — run it as a long-lived MCP server behind Caddy + DNS.
Usage — call the tools, the API, and example prompts.
Configuration — every environment variable.
