Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

# MongoDB Setup Options for MCP Server The MCP server requires a MongoDB database for persistent storage. Here are several options for setting up MongoDB: ## Option 1: Docker Compose (Recommended for Development) The easiest way to get started with MongoDB is to use the included Docker Compose configuration. This will start MongoDB and Mongo Express (a web-based admin interface) in Docker containers. Prerequisites: - Docker and Docker Compose installed Steps: 1. From the project root, run: ```bash docker compose up -d ``` 2. MongoDB will be available at: `mongodb://mcpuser:mcppassword@localhost:27017` 3. Mongo Express will be available at: `http://localhost:8081` ## Option 2: Local MongoDB Installation You can install MongoDB directly on your machine. Steps: 1. Install MongoDB from https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community 2. Start the MongoDB service 3. Update your `.env` file with: ``` MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/mcp-server ``` ## Option 3: MongoDB Atlas (Recommended for Production) MongoDB Atlas is a cloud-hosted MongoDB service that offers a free tier. Steps: 1. Create an account at https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas 2. Create a new cluster 3. Set up a database user and whitelist your IP address 4. Get your connection string and update your `.env` file: ``` MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster>.mongodb.net/mcp-server?retryWrites=true&w=majority ``` ## Option 4: Run Without MongoDB (Limited Functionality) The MCP server can run without MongoDB, but with limited functionality: - Tool definitions won't be persisted between restarts - No tool execution history - No configuration storage The server will automatically detect if MongoDB is unavailable and run in this mode.
