Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/moawizbinyamin/Fastapi-mcp-server-.git
cd Fastapi-mcp-server-

1. Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

1. Activate the virtual environment:

# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate

# Linux/Mac
source venv/bin/activate

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Running the Server

python main.py

The server will start on http://localhost:8000

Available Endpoints

• GET / - Root endpoint with server info
• GET /health - Health check endpoint
• GET /tools - List all available tools
• POST /tools/call - Call tools via HTTP
• WebSocket /mcp - MCP protocol endpoint
• GET /docs - FastAPI automatic documentation

Testing Tools via HTTP

List all tools:

curl http://localhost:8000/tools

Call a tool:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "add", "arguments": {"a": 5, "b": 3}}'

Example: Mathematical operations on 2 and 4:

# Addition: 2 + 4 = 6
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "add", "arguments": {"a": 2, "b": 4}}'

# Subtraction: 2 - 4 = -2
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "subtract", "arguments": {"a": 2, "b": 4}}'

# Multiplication: 2 × 4 = 8
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "multiply", "arguments": {"a": 2, "b": 4}}'

# Division: 2 ÷ 4 = 0.5
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "divide", "arguments": {"a": 2, "b": 4}}'

# Power: 2^4 = 16
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "power", "arguments": {"base": 2, "exponent": 4}}'

MCP Protocol Support

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, allowing it to be used with MCP-compatible clients. The WebSocket endpoint /mcp handles MCP protocol communication.

MCP Configuration

For use with MCP clients, configure your MCP client with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fastapi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["main.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/Fastapi-mcp-server-",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/Fastapi-mcp-server-"
      }
    }
  }
}

Dependencies

• FastAPI - Modern, fast web framework for building APIs
• Uvicorn - ASGI server implementation
• Pydantic - Data validation using Python type annotations
• httpx - HTTP client for making web requests
• websockets - WebSocket implementation

Error Handling

All tools include comprehensive error handling:

• Division by zero protection
• File not found handling
• Invalid input validation
• Network request error handling
