<h1> MCP Markdown Template </h1>
</div>
## š Core Idea
Transform markdown templates (like GitHub Issue templates) into MCP tools automatically. Write a template once, get both a FastAPI endpoint and an MCP tool.
## šļø Architecture
```
mcp_tools/
āāā models.py # Data models (Template, TemplateVariable)
āāā loader.py # Load templates from files, directories, URLs
āāā parser.py # Extract variables & render with Jinja2
āāā generator.py # Create FastAPI endpoints dynamically
āāā server.py # FastMCP server with CORS
```
**How it works:**
1. **Load** - Fetch templates from local files, directories, or URLs
2. **Parse** - Extract `<variables>` and metadata from YAML frontmatter
3. **Generate** - Create typed FastAPI endpoints with Pydantic models
4. **Serve** - Expose as both REST API (`/api/docs`) and MCP tools (`/mcp`)
## š Features
- **Auto-generate MCP tools** from markdown templates
- **Multiple sources** - Load from local files, directories, or URLs
- **Swagger UI** - Test endpoints at `/api/docs`
- **Docker ready** - Production-ready container setup
- **CI/CD** - GitHub Actions for automated workflows
## š ļø Getting Started
### Local Development
Install dependencies:
```bash
uv sync
```
Run the MCP server:
```bash
uv run uvicorn mcp_tools.main:starlette_app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
```
### Docker
Build the Docker image:
```bash
docker build -t docker.io/username/mcp-markdown-template:latest .
```
Run the container with various template sources:
```bash
# Mount local templates directory
docker run -i --rm -p 8000:8000 \
-v /path/to/your/templates:/app/templates \
-e MCP_TEMPLATES_SOURCE=/app/templates \
docker.io/hsiangjenli/mcp-markdown-template:latest
```
```bash
# Load from URL (GitHub raw URL)
docker run -i --rm -p 8000:8000 \
-e MCP_TEMPLATES_SOURCE=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hsiangjenli/mcp-markdown-template/refs/heads/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/demo.md \
docker.io/hsiangjenli/mcp-markdown-template:latest
```
```bash
# Multiple sources (comma-separated)
docker run -i --rm -p 8000:8000 \
-e MCP_TEMPLATES_SOURCE="/app/templates,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/owner/repo/main/template.md" \
-v /path/to/local/templates:/app/templates \
docker.io/hsiangjenli/mcp-markdown-template:latest
```
MCP Server configuration (for Claude Desktop, etc.):
```json
{
"servers": {
"markdown-template": {
"url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp",
"type": "http"
}
},
"inputs": []
}
```
### Template Sources
| Format | Example |
|--------|---------|
| Local directory | `/path/to/templates/` |
| Local file | `/path/to/template.md` |
| URL | `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../template.md` |
| Multiple | `source1,source2` (comma-separated) |
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default |
|----------|---------|
| `MCP_TITLE` | `Python MCP Template` |
| `MCP_DESCRIPTION` | `A template for creating MCP-compliant FastAPI` |
| `MCP_TEMPLATES_SOURCE` | `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE` |
## š Documentation
Build docs locally:
```bash
