# Pure Agentic MCP Server
A pure implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) following an agentic architecture where all features are exposed as MCP tools through specialized agents.
## Features
- **š¤ Pure Agentic Architecture**: All capabilities (OpenAI, Ollama, File operations) are implemented as agents
- **š Dual Access Modes**: MCP protocol for Claude Desktop + HTTP endpoints for web/Streamlit UI
- **ā” Dynamic Tool Registry**: Agents register their tools automatically at startup
- **š§ Modular Design**: Add new agents easily without modifying core server code
- **š± Clean Web UI**: Modern Streamlit interface for interactive tool usage
- **š”ļø Graceful Degradation**: Agents fail independently without affecting the system
- **š Environment-Based Config**: Secure API key management via environment variables
## Architecture Overview
The server implements a **pure agentic pattern** where:
1. **Agents** encapsulate specific functionality (OpenAI API, Ollama, file operations)
2. **Registry** manages dynamic tool registration and routing
3. **MCP Server** provides JSON-RPC protocol compliance for Claude Desktop
4. **HTTP Host** exposes tools via REST API for web interfaces
5. **Streamlit UI** provides user-friendly web access to all tools

## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- Virtual environment support
### Installation
```bash
git clone <repo-url>
cd mcp_server_full
# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/Mac
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Configuration
Create a `.env` file with your API keys (all optional):
```env
# OpenAI Agent (optional)
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
# Ollama Agent (optional, uses local Ollama server)
OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3.2
# File Agent (enabled by default, no config needed)
# Provides file reading, writing, and listing capabilities
```
### Running the Server
#### For Claude Desktop (MCP Protocol)
```bash
# Start the pure MCP server for Claude Desktop
python run_mcp_server.py
```
Add to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentic-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["run_mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "d:\\AI Lab\\MCP research\\mcp_server_full"
}
}
}
```
#### For Web Interface (HTTP + Streamlit)
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start HTTP host for tools
python simple_mcp_host.py
# Terminal 2: Start Streamlit UI
streamlit run streamlit_app.py
```
Access the web interface at: http://localhost:8501
### Testing Your Setup
```bash
# Test agent registration and tool availability
python test_quick.py
# Test specific agents
python test_both.py
# Validate server functionality
python validate_server.py
```
## Available Agents & Tools
### š¤ OpenAI Agent
**Status**: Available with API key
**Tools**:
- `openai_chat`: Chat completion with GPT models
- `openai_analysis`: Text analysis and insights
**Setup**: Add `OPENAI_API_KEY` to `.env` file
### š¦ Ollama Agent
**Status**: Available with local Ollama server
**Tools**:
- `ollama_chat`: Chat with local Ollama models

## API Usage
### MCP Protocol (Claude Desktop)
Tools are automatically available in Claude Desktop once the server is configured. Ask Claude to:
- "Read the contents of file.txt"
- "Generate text using Ollama"
- "Analyze this text with OpenAI"
### HTTP API (Web/Streamlit)
```bash
# List available tools
curl http://localhost:8000/tools
# Call a specific tool
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"tool_name": "file_read",
"arguments": {
"file_path": "example.txt"
}
}'
```
## Architecture
### Core Components
- **`pure_mcp_server.py`**: Main MCP JSON-RPC server for Claude Desktop integration
- **`simple_mcp_host.py`**: HTTP wrapper that exposes MCP tools via REST API
- **`registry.py`**: Dynamic agent and tool registration system
- **`run_mcp_server.py`**: Entry point script for Claude Desktop configuration
- **`config.py`**: Environment-based configuration management
- **`protocol.py`**: MCP protocol models and types
### Agents
- **`agents/base.py`**: Base agent interface that all agents implement
- **`agents/openai_agent.py`**: OpenAI API integration agent
- **`agents/ollama_agent.py`**: Local Ollama model integration agent
- **`agents/file_agent.py`**: File system operations agent
### User Interfaces
- **`streamlit_app.py`**: Modern web UI for interactive tool usage
- **Claude Desktop**: Direct MCP protocol integration
### Agent Registration Flow
```python
# Each agent registers its tools dynamically
class YourAgent(BaseAgent):
def get_tools(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
return {
"your_tool": {
"description": "What your tool does",
"inputSchema": {...}
}
}
async def handle_tool_call(self, tool_name: str, params: Dict[str, Any]) -> Any:
# Handle the tool call
pass
# Registry automatically discovers and routes tools
registry.register_agent("your_agent", YourAgent(config))
```

### Adding New Agents
For a complete step-by-step guide on adding new agents, see **[ADDING_NEW_AGENTS.md](ADDING_NEW_AGENTS.md)**.
**Quick Overview:**
1. Create agent file in `agents/` inheriting from `BaseAgent`
2. Implement `get_tools()` and `handle_tool_call()` methods
3. Register agent in both `pure_mcp_server.py` and `simple_mcp_host.py`
4. Add configuration and test your agent
The guide includes complete code examples, best practices, and troubleshooting tips.
### Adding New Tools
To add new tools to existing agents:
1. Edit the agent's `get_tools()` method to define new tool schema
2. Add handler method in agent's `handle_tool_call()` method
3. Test the new tool functionality
4. Update documentation
Example:
```python
# In your agent
def get_tools(self):
return {
"new_tool": {
"description": "Description of new tool",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"param": {"type": "string", "description": "Parameter description"}
},
"required": ["param"]
}
}
}
async def handle_tool_call(self, tool_name: str, params: Dict[str, Any]) -> Any:
if tool_name == "new_tool":
return await self._handle_new_tool(params)
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Agent Not Available**: Check API keys and service connectivity
```bash
# Test agent registration
python test_quick.py
```
2. **Claude Desktop Not Connecting**: Verify config path and entry point
```json
# Check claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentic-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["run_mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "d:\\AI Lab\\MCP research\\mcp_server_full"
}
}
}
```
3. **Streamlit UI Issues**: Ensure HTTP host is running
```bash
# Start HTTP host first
python simple_mcp_host.py
# Then start Streamlit
streamlit run streamlit_app.py
```
4. **OpenAI Errors**: Check API key and quota
```bash
# Test OpenAI directly
python openai_test.py
```
5. **Ollama Not Working**: Verify Ollama server is running
```bash
# Check Ollama status
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
```
### Debug Mode
Enable detailed logging:
```bash
# Set environment variable
export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
python run_mcp_server.py
```
### Health Checks
```bash
# Check HTTP API health
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# List registered tools
curl http://localhost:8000/tools
# Test tool call
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/call \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"tool_name": "file_list", "arguments": {"directory_path": "."}}'
```
