My MCP Server

my-mcp-server

my-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with FastMCP featuring dynamic tool loading.

Features

• Dynamic Tool Loading: Tools are automatically discovered and loaded from src/tools/
• One Tool Per File: Each tool is a single file with a function matching the filename
• FastMCP Integration: Leverages FastMCP for robust MCP protocol handling
• Configuration Management: Tool-specific configuration via mcp.yaml
• Fail-Fast: Server won't start if any tool fails to load
• Auto-Generated Tests: Automatic test generation for tool validation

Quick Start

Option 1: Local Development (with Python/uv)

1. Install Dependencies:

   uv sync
   

2. Run the Server:

   # Stdio mode (default MCP transport)
   uv run python src/main.py
   
   # HTTP mode with WebSocket MCP endpoint
   uv run python src/main.py --http
   
   # HTTP mode with custom host/port
   uv run python src/main.py --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
   

3. Using uv Scripts:

   # Development mode (HTTP on port 3000)
   uv run dev
   
   # HTTP mode
   uv run dev-http
   
   # Stdio mode
   uv run start
   

4. Add New Tools:

   # Create a new tool (no tool types needed!)
   arctl mcp add-tool weather
   
   # The tool file will be created at src/tools/weather.py
   # Edit it to implement your tool logic
   

Option 2: Docker-Only Development (no local Python/uv required)

1. Build Docker Image:

   arctl mcp build --verbose
   

2. Run in Container:

   docker run -i my-mcp-server:latest
   

3. Add New Tools:

   # Create a new tool
   arctl mcp add-tool weather
   
   # Edit the tool file, then rebuild
   arctl mcp build
   

HTTP Transport Mode

The server supports running in HTTP mode for development and integration purposes.

Starting in HTTP Mode

# Command line flag
python src/main.py --http

# Environment variable
MCP_TRANSPORT_MODE=http python src/main.py

# Custom host and port
python src/main.py --http --host localhost --port 8080

Creating Tools

Basic Tool Structure

Each tool is a Python file in src/tools/ containing a function decorated with @mcp.tool():

# src/tools/weather.py
from core.server import mcp
from core.utils import get_tool_config, get_env_var

@mcp.tool()
def weather(location: str) -> str:
    """Get weather information for a location."""
    
    # Get tool configuration
    config = get_tool_config("weather")
    api_key = get_env_var(config.get("api_key_env", "WEATHER_API_KEY"))
    base_url = config.get("base_url", "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5")
    
    # TODO: Implement weather API call
    return f"Weather for {location}: Sunny, 72°F"

Tool Examples

The generated tool template includes commented examples for common patterns:

# HTTP API calls
# async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
#     response = await client.get(f"{base_url}/weather?q={location}&appid={api_key}")
#     return response.json()

# Database operations  
# async with asyncpg.connect(connection_string) as conn:
#     result = await conn.fetchrow("SELECT * FROM weather WHERE location = $1", location)
#     return dict(result)

# File processing
# with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
#     content = f.read()
#     return {"content": content, "size": len(content)}

Configuration

Configure tools in mcp.yaml:

tools:
  weather:
    api_key_env: "WEATHER_API_KEY"
    base_url: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5"
    timeout: 30
  
  database:
    connection_string_env: "DATABASE_URL"
    max_connections: 10

Testing

Run the generated tests to verify your tools load correctly:

uv run pytest tests/

Development
