Which integrations are available for this server?

Enables deployment of the MCP server to [Cloud Foundry](/mcp/servers/integrations/cloud-foundry) and binding to AI applications as a user-provided service for remote MCP capabilities. Integrates with the [Swagger](/mcp/servers/integrations/swagger) Petstore API to fetch pets by status (available, pending, sold) using petclinic v2 APIs.

petclinic-mcp

Petclinic MCP server

Petclinic MCP server uses petclinic v2 apis (https://petstore.swagger.io/). It interacts with the Swagger Petstore API (similar to a "PetClinic") and exposes tools to be used by OpenAI models.

It exposes following capabilites

fetch_petsByStatus: Available status values : available, pending, sold

Sample

Prerequisites

uv package manager
Python

Running locally

tip use stdio transport to avoid remote server setup. Change petclinic_mcp_server.py line 39 to use stdio transport

mcp.run(transport='stdio')

Clone the project, navigate to the project directory and initiate it with uv:

uv init

Create virtual environment and activate it:

uv venv source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies:

uv add mcp httpx

Launch the mcp inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run petclinic_mcp_server.py

OR launch the mcp server without inspector

uv run petclinic_mcp_server.py

Configuration for Claude Desktop

You will need to supply a configuration for the server for your MCP Client. Here's what the configuration looks like for claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "filesystem": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/{your-project-path}/petclinic-mcp/" ] }, "research": { "command": "/{your-uv-install-path}/uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/{your-project-path}/petclinic-mcp/", "run", "petclinic_mcp_server.py"] }, "fetch": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"] } } }

Deploy to Cloud Foundry

tip use sse transport to deploy petclinic mcp server as a remote server. Change petclinic_mcp_server.py line 39 to use stdio transport

mcp.run(transport='sse')

Login to your Cloud Foundry account and push the application

cf push -f manifest.yml

Binding to MCP Agents

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities to AI models through a standardized interface. These servers act as bridges between LLMs and external tools, data sources, or services, allowing your AI application to perform actions like searching databases, accessing files, or calling external APIs without complex custom integrations.

Create a user-provided service that provides the URL for an existing MCP server:

cf cups petclinic-mcp-server -p '{"mcpServiceURL":"https://your-petclinic-mcp-server.example.com"}'

Bind the MCP service to your application:

cf bind-service ai-tool-chat petclinic-mcp-server

Restart your application:

cf restart ai-tool-chat

Your chatbot will now register with the research MCP agent, and the LLM will be able to invoke the agent's capabilities when responding to chat requests.
