Serveurs MCP en Python
Labo et projet du cours en ligne
« Serveurs MCP en Python » de Docteur Atomic : on y écrit
pachatraining-mcp, un serveur MCP en Python sur la base SQL Server PachadataTraining,
qu'on branche ensuite sur Claude Code.
Ce qu'il faut sur le poste
Python 3.13 et
uv, Git,curlet un shell bash (sous Windows, WSL2) ;Docker (ou Podman) avec
compose, 2 Go de mémoire libre pour SQL Server et environ 9 Go de disque (la base de référence et ses deux copies de travail) ;pour les modules qui les emploient : Node.js 24.22.1 ou plus récent dans la 24, ou 22.23.4 dans la 22 (MCP Inspector) et Claude Code ;
pour le module 12 : 1 Go de mémoire de plus pour Keycloak, et un accès Internet depuis son conteneur (Keycloak lit sur claude.ai le document qui décrit Claude Code comme client).
Le pilote mssql-python (Microsoft, licence MIT) s'installe par uv sans pilote ODBC
système : il apporte le sien, mssql-python-odbc, le pilote ODBC 18 de Microsoft, gratuit
mais sous licence propriétaire.

Le labo
git clone https://github.com/DocteurAtomic/serveurs-mcp.git
cd serveurs-mcp
./setup/install.sh
uv sync
uv run python setup/check_lab.pyinstall.sh écrit .env avec des mots de passe tirés au hasard (le fichier n'est jamais
versionné ; .env.example montre ce qu'il contient), télécharge la sauvegarde de
PachadataTraining (626 Mo) et vérifie sa somme SHA-256, démarre SQL Server 2025 Developer
dans le conteneur mcpcourse (2 Go de mémoire), restaure la base, crée les comptes
pacha_app et mcp_reader et le schéma Mcp (vues et procédures du serveur), puis les copies
PachadataTraining_m07 et PachadataTraining_m09 sur lesquelles écrivent les modules 7 et 9.
Il se relance sans danger : ce qui existe déjà est gardé. check_lab.py se connecte depuis le
poste avec les deux comptes et compare ce qu'il lit aux nombres des vidéos.
Avec Podman : COMPOSE="podman compose" ENGINE=podman ./setup/install.sh (podman compose
demande podman-compose ou docker-compose ; sans eux, COMPOSE="uvx podman-compose").
Se connecter : 127.0.0.1,14733, avec l'un des comptes et son mot de passe lus dans .env.
Le serveur MCP ne se connecte jamais en sa, qui ne sert qu'à setup/. Le conteneur n'a qu'un
certificat auto-signé : cochez Trust server certificate dans SSMS.
Une copie de travail se recrée par ./setup/reset-copy.sh m07 (quelques secondes) et se
supprime par ./setup/reset-copy.sh m07 --drop, ce qui libère 2,4 Go.
Keycloak (module 12)
uv run python setup/keycloak.pyLe serveur d'autorisation du module 12 est un service à part de compose.yaml, dans le profil
oauth : install.sh et la CI ne le démarrent pas. setup/keycloak.py tire au hasard, dans
.env, le mot de passe de l'administrateur de Keycloak, ceux des deux comptes du royaume
(alice, qui peut écrire, et carol, qui ne fait que lire) et les secrets de ses deux clients
confidentiels, puis démarre Keycloak 26.8.2 en mode développement sur 127.0.0.1:8080 et attend
le royaume pachadata (environ 20 secondes). Le royaume est importé de
setup/keycloak/pachadata-realm.json, sans un clic dans la console, ses ${...} lus dans
.env. Il ne s'importe qu'à la création du conteneur : après un changement du fichier ou d'un
secret, docker rm -f mcpcourse-keycloak, puis relancer le script. Avec Podman :
COMPOSE="podman compose" uv run python setup/keycloak.py. La console :
http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin, compte admin.
Le serveur en conteneur (module 13)
docker build -t pachatraining-mcp .
docker compose --profile server up -d mcpLe Dockerfile construit l'image du serveur en deux étapes : uv installe les dépendances
verrouillées et le projet dans un environnement, que la seconde étape copie seul, sans uv
ni source, avec un utilisateur sans droits. Aucun secret n'y entre : .dockerignore écarte
.env, et le service mcp de compose.yaml, dans le profil server, passe au conteneur les
seules variables que le serveur lit, mot de passe de mcp_reader et jetons compris, jamais
celui de sa. Dans le conteneur, le serveur écoute sur 0.0.0.0 (PACHA_HTTP_LISTEN) ; le
port est publié sur 127.0.0.1:8000 de l'hôte (MCP_PORT le change), et le serveur garde son
contrôle de l'en-tête Host. Il joint SQL Server par le nom du service, sql,1433, sur le
réseau que compose donne au projet. Avec podman-compose 1.6, les valeurs des variables
passent sur la ligne de commande de podman : préférez docker compose, ou lancez
podman run avec -e NOM sans valeur.
La CI construit l'image, lance toute la suite, les tests de l'image compris
(PACHA_IMAGE=pachatraining-mcp), et exige le nombre de tests écrit dans le workflow : un
test sauté la fait échouer.
Dépannage
Mac à puce Apple : l'image SQL Server n'existe que pour
linux/amd64; lecompose.yamlle dit (platform: linux/amd64), et Docker Desktop l'émule par Rosetta. Si le conteneur s'arrête au démarrage, activez « Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon » dans les réglages de Docker Desktop.TCP Provider: Error code 0x2749à la connexion : le serveur est nommélocalhost, qui se résout d'abord en::1, alors que le port n'est publié que sur127.0.0.1. Écrivez127.0.0.1,14733, comme dans.env.example.Le port 14733 est pris :

La base
PachadataTraining est la base de démonstration anglaise de Pachadata : un organisme de
formation fictif, ses stages, sessions, inscriptions, factures et formateurs. Les personnes
sont fictives. Sa documentation est dans le dépôt
rudi-bruchez/formations.
La sauvegarde n'est pas dans ce dépôt, le script la télécharge.

Building MCP Servers in Python
Lab and project of the Docteur Atomic online course on building MCP servers in Python: you
write pachatraining-mcp, a Python MCP server over the SQL Server database
PachadataTraining, and plug it into Claude Code. Run ./setup/install.sh, then uv sync and
uv run python setup/check_lab.py (Python 3.13 with uv, Docker or Podman with compose, curl,
bash, 2 GB of free memory, about 9 GB of disk). The script writes .env with random passwords
(never committed), downloads the backup and checks its SHA-256, starts SQL Server 2025
Developer in the mcpcourse container, restores the database, creates the pacha_app and
mcp_reader accounts and the Mcp schema, then the copies the modules 7 and 9 write to.
Connect to 127.0.0.1,14733 (not localhost, which resolves to ::1 first). On an Apple
silicon Mac, Docker Desktop emulates the linux/amd64 image; enable Rosetta emulation in its
settings if the container stops at startup. The mssql-python driver brings Microsoft's ODBC
Driver 18 (mssql-python-odbc), free but under a proprietary license. Module 12 adds Keycloak, a service of the
oauth profile of compose.yaml that neither install.sh nor the CI starts:
uv run python setup/keycloak.py draws its secrets into .env and starts it on
127.0.0.1:8080 (1 GB more memory, and Internet access from its container). Module 13
adds the Dockerfile (two stages with uv, a user without rights, no secret: .dockerignore
keeps .env out) and the mcp service of the server profile: docker build -t pachatraining-mcp ., then docker compose --profile server up -d mcp, which publishes the
server on 127.0.0.1:8000 and passes it only the variables it reads. The CI builds the image
and requires the number of tests written in the workflow, so a skipped test fails it. The
code is released under the MIT license.
Available Tools
8 toolscancel_enrollmentCancel an enrollmentA
Cancel one enrollment of a trainee in a session, after the user confirms it. The server asks the user itself: do not ask for a confirmation in the conversation.
An enrollment already cancelled, or in a session completed or cancelled, cannot be cancelled: the result then says why.

TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: weekly session listing, single-session detail, trainer load, unpaid invoices, at-risk sessions, cancelled enrollments, and two mutations. The only mild overlap is between sessions_in_week and sessions_to_watch, but their filters (all sessions vs planned/open under half full) are clearly spelled out, and descriptions cross-reference each other to avoid misselection.
Names are uniformly snake_case with a readable convention: read/query tools use noun phrases (sessions_in_week, trainer_load, unpaid_invoices) and mutations use verb_noun (postpone_session, cancel_enrollment). The read-vs-write split is intentional and consistent, though the mixed style is a minor deviation from a single verb_noun pattern.
Eight tools is well-scoped for a training-administration server: each covers a distinct workflow (session lookup, detail, trainer billing, invoices, watchlist, cancellations, postpone, cancel enrollment) with no filler. Nothing feels redundant or missing from a count perspective.
The surface covers read access across sessions, enrollments, trainers, and invoices, plus two correction operations. However, obvious lifecycle gaps remain: no tool to create a session or enrollment, no way to mark a session completed/cancelled, and no invoice payment/settlement operation, which will force agents to hit dead ends for common administrative tasks.
