The FastAPI MCP Server is a server implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) built using the FastAPI framework. It serves as a unified access point for integrating various tools and data sources.
To use the server, clone its repository and set up a virtual environment. After installing the required dependencies, start the server using the provided command. The interactive API documentation is then accessible in your browser at http://localhost:8000/docs.
Key features include its foundation on FastAPI for efficient API endpoints, full implementation of the MCP protocol using JSON-RPC for standardized tool calls, and providing consistent, unified access to diverse tools and data sources.
Primary use cases involve integrating AI assistants (such as Claude Code) with external tools, acting as a backend for applications that need to connect to multiple data sources, and simplifying development for systems that must interact with various external APIs.
Frequently asked questions clarify that the MCP protocol itself is a specification for a unified interface to tools and data. Installation follows the standard steps outlined in the project documentation. The project is open source and available under the MIT License.
