life-agent-mcp

Turn any personal-assistant REST backend into 38 Claude-ready tools over a single MCP server.

What it is

A thin Model Context Protocol server built on FastMCP. Every tool is a small async function that forwards its arguments to a REST backend (X-API-Key auth) and formats the JSON response for Claude. No business logic lives here: the server is pure transport and shaping. It runs over the streamable-http transport, so a single long-lived process serves Claude Desktop, Claude mobile, and Claude Code alike.

The pattern is the point. If you already have a REST API for your own data, wrapping it as MCP tools is mostly this file: one decorated function per capability, two shared call_api / call_api_get helpers, and an entry point. This repo is a worked example of that pattern across a wide domain surface.

The backend itself is not included. The tools reference endpoints like /api/v1/message/inbound, /api/v1/brain/search, and /api/v1/social-brand/queue; you supply a service that answers them. Point API_URL at your own backend, or read the tool bodies as a template for wrapping your own.

Quick start

pip install .

cp .env.example .env      # then edit API_URL and BACKEND_API_KEY

export API_URL=http://localhost:8000
export BACKEND_API_KEY=your-key
export PORT=8001

life-agent-mcp

The server listens on http://0.0.0.0:$PORT (default 8001) and speaks the streamable-http MCP transport at the /mcp path.

Connecting Claude

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {

  }
}

Or via the CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http life-agent http://localhost:8001/mcp

Architecture

Claude Desktop / Claude Code
        │  MCP (streamable-http)
        ▼
  life-agent-mcp  ── X-API-Key ──▶  your REST backend
   (this repo)                       (not included)

Two helpers, call_api (POST) and call_api_get (GET), carry the auth header and JSON handling; every tool is a @mcp.tool()-decorated coroutine that calls one of them and formats the result. The intelligence — routing, storage, embeddings, integrations — lives in the backend. This layer only defines the tool contracts and the transport.

Note

This is an extraction of the MCP layer from a personal assistant project, published to demonstrate MCP tool and transport design. It runs against a backend that is not part of this repo, so out of the box it exercises the MCP surface (tool discovery, schemas, streamable-http) rather than returning live data. Every tool listed above maps to real code in server.py — nothing here is aspirational.
