MCP Server Example

AI assistant application that integrates FastMCP server, MongoDB Atlas knowledge base, and LLM endpoint with direct MCP tool calling capabilities.

🎯 Key Update: Direct MCP Integration Implemented

This version implements the exact requested flow:

User Query → LLM Service → MCP Tools → MongoDB Atlas → LLM Service → User Response

Flow Implementation

1. User sends chat message → FastAPI /chat endpoint

2. LLM generates JSON function call → Compatible with Llama3-8B-Instruct

3. LLM service calls MCP tools directly → await mcp._mcp_call_tool(function_name, parameters)

4. MCP tools query MongoDB Atlas → Native FastMCP integration

5. Documents returned through MCP → Proper MCP protocol response

6. LLM processes results → Generates final response with context

7. User receives response → Complete chat completion with document context

2. Configure environment (IMPORTANT!)

Edit .env file with your actual credentials

nano .env # or your preferred editor

3. Start the server

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/healthz" -H "accept: application/json" | jq

2. MCP Server Information

# Using Task
task test-mcp-info

# Manual curl
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/mcp/info" -H "accept: application/json" | jq

3. Document Count

# Using Task
task test-document-count

# Manual curl
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/documents/count" -H "accept: application/json" | jq

4. Document Search

# Using Task
task test-search

# Manual curl
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/search" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "Python programming",
    "limit": 5
  }' | jq

5. Chat Completion (requires valid LLM credentials)

# Using Task
task test-chat

# Manual curl
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/chat" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \

      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, can you search for documents about Python programming?"}
    ]
  }' | jq

6. GitHub Repository Ingestion (requires valid GitHub token)

# Using Task
task test-github-ingest

# Manual curl
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/ingest_github" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
