Python MCP Template

A DevOps-friendly template with CI/CD, Docker, and Documentation-as-Code (DaC) for building MCP server

🚀 Core Idea

This template leverages fastmcp and FastAPI to seamlessly integrate MCP functionality while inheriting the original OpenAPI specifications.

🌟 Features

• CI/CD Integration: Automate your workflows with GitHub Actions.
• Dockerized Environment: Consistent and portable development and production environments.
• Documentation-as-Code: Automatically generate and deploy documentation using MkDocs. This process also utilizes the openapi.json file to ensure API documentation is up-to-date.
• FastAPI Integration: Build robust APIs with OpenAPI support.

🛠️ Getting Started

Local Development

1. Install dependencies:

   uv sync

2. Run the MCP server:

   uv run --with fastmcp fastmcp run mcp_tools/main.py

Docker

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t python-mcp-template:latest .

2. Run the container:

   docker run -i --rm -p 8000:8000 python-mcp-template:latest

3. Run MCP Server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "python-mcp-template": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-p",
        "8000:8000",
        "python-mcp-template:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

📚 Documentation
