FileMaker MCP Server

FileMaker MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that dynamically exposes FileMaker scripts as tools. It uses Gradio to provide a user interface for interacting with these tools.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/mw777eds/filemaker_mcp_local/ cd filemaker_mcp_local
2. Create a virtual environment:
   python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate
3. Install dependencies:
   pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Configure Environment Variables:Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:
   FM_USERNAME=your_filemaker_username FM_PASSWORD=your_filemaker_password FM_HOST=your_filemaker_host FM_DATABASE=your_filemaker_database FM_LAYOUT=your_filemaker_layout
   Replace the placeholder values with your actual FileMaker credentials and database details.

Running the Server

1. Activate the virtual environment (if not already active):
   source venv/bin/activate
2. Run the server script:
   python gradio_mcp_server.py

This will start both the MCP server (listening on stdin/stdout for the MCP protocol) and a Gradio server (typically on port 7860) providing a web UI for the dynamically created tools.
