FastMCP server for Red Hat Errata Tool integration with AI assistants.

Quick Start

# Build and run
./build-container.sh build
./build-container.sh run-sse

# Get interactive shell with working Kerberos
./build-container.sh interactive
kinit your_username@IPA.REDHAT.COM

# Test functions
python -c "from mcp_server import list_products; print(list_products())"
python -c "from mcp_server import get_advisory_info; print(get_advisory_info('149143'))"

Related MCP server: Red Hat Lightspeed MCP

Available Functions

  • list_products() - List available products (RHEL, RHIVOS, etc.)

  • list_states() - List advisory states (QE, SHIPPED_LIVE, etc.)

  • list_advisories(product, state, limit) - List advisories ⚠️ Limited access

  • get_advisory_info(advisory_id) - Get advisory details ⚠️ Requires auth

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "errata-tool": {
      "command": "podman",
      "args": ["run", "-d", "--rm", "--name", "errata-mcp-sse", "-p", "8000:8000", 
               "-v", "/etc/krb5.conf:/etc/krb5.conf:ro", "--network", "host", 
               "localhost/errata-mcp:latest"],
      "transport": { "type": "sse", "url": "http://localhost:8000" }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

For advisory access, run inside container:

kinit your_username@IPA.REDHAT.COM

Troubleshooting

Issue

Fix

"Pigeon crap. Did it forget to run kinit?"

Run kinit inside container

Container won't start

Check: podman --version, ./build-container.sh logs

SSE connection fails

Verify: curl http://localhost:8000/sse/

Products/States work but advisories don't

Run kinit for authentication

Commands

./build-container.sh build       # Build image
./build-container.sh run-sse     # Run SSE server (port 8000)
./build-container.sh run-stdio   # Run stdio mode (for MCP clients)
./build-container.sh interactive # Open bash shell with working Kerberos
./build-container.sh shell       # Get shell in running container
./build-container.sh logs        # View logs
./build-container.sh stop        # Stop containers
./build-container.sh clean       # Remove all
