crowe-logic-mcp

An MCP server with four tools that forward chat, image, grow-log, and procedure requests to a Crowe Logic HTTP endpoint.

Status

Experimental. Version 1.0.0 is on PyPI. As published it does not run: pyproject.toml allows any mcp>=1.0.0, a fresh install today resolves mcp 2.2.0, and crowe_logic_mcp/server.py imports mcp.server.fastmcp.FastMCP, which mcp 2.x removed. Pinned to mcp<2 the server starts and lists its tools, but every tool forwards to the default endpoint set in server.py, which on 2026-09-10 presented a TLS certificate for a different host name, so every call fails. No tool in this repository has been shown to return a result.

Install and first run

Requirements from pyproject.toml: Python 3.10 or newer, mcp[cli]>=1.0.0, httpx>=0.28.0. We ran the commands below on 2026-09-10 on macOS with uv 0.11.23.

The install line the previous README gave, from PyPI:

uvx crowe-logic-mcp

Last lines of the output (paths shortened):

    from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
  File ".../site-packages/mcp/server/fastmcp.py", line 16, in <module>
    raise ModuleNotFoundError(_MESSAGE, name=__name__)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp.server.fastmcp'. This is mcp 2.x, where FastMCP was renamed to MCPServer (from mcp.server.mcpserver import MCPServer) and other APIs changed; see the migration guide at https://py.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/v2/migration/#fastmcp-renamed-to-mcpserver or pin 'mcp<2' to keep running v1 code.

From this repository, with Python 3.12:

git clone https://github.com/MichaelCrowe11/crowe-logic-mcp
cd crowe-logic-mcp
uv venv --python 3.12 .venv
uv pip install -e . --python .venv/bin/python

(Package list shortened to the two this README talks about.) That install fails at import for the reason above. Pin the older library:

The server speaks MCP over stdio, so it prints nothing on its own. To see it work, save this as probe.py and run .venv/bin/python probe.py .venv/bin/crowe-logic-mcp:

import asyncio, sys
from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters
from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client

async def main():
    params = StdioServerParameters(command=sys.argv[1], args=[])
    async with stdio_client(params) as (r, w):
        async with ClientSession(r, w) as s:
            init = await s.initialize()
            print("server:", init.serverInfo.name, init.serverInfo.version)
            tools = await s.list_tools()
            for t in tools.tools:
                print("tool:", t.name, "|", (t.description or "").splitlines()[0][:90])
            res = await s.call_tool("crowe_chat", {"message": "hello"})
            print("crowe_chat isError:", res.isError)
            for c in res.content:
                print("crowe_chat content:", getattr(c, "text", "")[:300])

asyncio.run(main())

server: crowe-logic 1.30.0
tool: crowe_chat | Chat with CroweLM for mycology and cultivation expertise.
tool: crowe_vision | Analyze an image using Crowe Vision -- specialized for mushroom cultivation photos.
tool: crowe_grow_log | Manage mushroom cultivation grow logs.
tool: crowe_sop | Generate a Standard Operating Procedure for mushroom cultivation tasks.
crowe_chat isError: True
crowe_chat content: Error executing tool crowe_chat: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'ai.southwestmushrooms.com'. (_ssl.c:1010)

The version the server reports (1.30.0) is the mcp library's, not this package's. The tool descriptions are the docstrings in server.py; they describe the remote service, not code in this repository.

Not run here: any call against a live CROWE_LOGIC_URL, the crowe_vision, crowe_grow_log, and crowe_sop tools, and use from an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor.

What runs today

• crowe_logic_mcp/server.py builds a FastMCP server named crowe-logic with four tools. Each one sends an httpx request to CROWE_LOGIC_URL (the default host is set at the top of _request in server.py), adds Authorization: Bearer <CROWE_LOGIC_KEY> when that variable is set, waits up to 60 seconds, raises on a non-2xx status, and returns the JSON body as text.

  • crowe_chat(message, context="") posts to /api/chat.

  • crowe_vision(image_base64, prompt="Analyze this image") posts to /api/crowe-vision/analyze.

  • crowe_grow_log(action, data="{}") maps list, create, read, update onto GET, POST, GET, PATCH at /api/conversations and /api/conversations/<id>.

  • crowe_sop(topic, parameters="{}") posts the message "Generate a detailed Standard Operating Procedure for: " to /api/chat with the parameters as context.

• Entry points: the console script crowe-logic-mcp (pyproject.toml) and python -m crowe_logic_mcp (crowe_logic_mcp/__main__.py).

• Published: crowe-logic-mcp 1.0.0 on PyPI, one release. dist/ in this repository holds the 1.0.0 wheel and sdist.

• No tests.

Roadmap

None is written down in this repository.

Limits

This server does nothing on its own. Every answer comes from whatever service is at CROWE_LOGIC_URL. The repository holds no model, no image analysis, and no grow-log storage; the words "mycology expertise", "contamination", and "species" in the tool docstrings describe the remote service and have not been checked here.

The default endpoint did not serve its own host name on 2026-09-10. The name resolves to a Railway host whose certificate is for another name (see the probe output above). Set CROWE_LOGIC_URL to a live service or nothing works.

Do not rely on anything this server returns to decide whether a mushroom is safe to eat, or to diagnose contamination. It passes the remote response through unchecked.

crowe_grow_log talks to /api/conversations, a chat conversation route, not a grow-log route. pyproject.toml names https://github.com/MichaelCrowe11/crowe-logic-foundry as the repository, which is a different repository. dist/ and crowe_logic_mcp.egg-info/ are build artifacts that are committed. There is no .gitignore.
