outlty-mcp

A Python MCP server exposing your FastAPI API-key routes as MCP tools for use in Claude Code (and any MCP client).

Tools

• list_user_apis

• get_user_api

• create_user_api

• make_request

Related MCP server: OpenAPI MCP Server

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

• Your backend running and accessible (default base URL: http://localhost:8000)

• An API key valid for the backend. The backend supports either:

  • X-API-Key: <key>

  • Authorization: ApiKey <key>

Install

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run with uvx (recommended)

You can run this server without a local install using uv.

Local checkout:

uvx --from . outlty-mcp

From Git repository (example):

uvx --from git+https://github.com/your-org/outly-mcp-server.git outlty-mcp

You can also pin a version published to an index:

uvx outlty-mcp

Run (standalone debug)

This server communicates via stdio when launched by an MCP client, but you can validate it imports:

python server.py

Configuration (env)

• OUTLY_MCP_API_BASE_URL (default: http://localhost:8000)

• OUTLY_MCP_API_KEY (required)

• OUTLY_MCP_AUTH_HEADER (default: X-API-Key; set to Authorization to send Authorization: ApiKey <key>)

Claude Code configuration (JSON)

Add this to your Claude configuration (e.g., ~/.config/anthropic/claude_desktop_config.json or the workspace .claued.json depending on your setup). See Claude docs for exact location.
