Multi-service MCP Server
by AdamPippert
# Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
A modular server that implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) standard, providing tools for GitHub, GitLab, Google Maps, Memory storage, and Puppeteer web automation.
## Architecture
The MCP server is built with a modular architecture, where each tool is implemented as a separate module. The server provides a unified gateway that routes requests to the appropriate tool.

## Features
- **MCP Gateway**: A unified endpoint for all tool requests following the MCP standard
- **MCP Manifest**: An endpoint that describes all available tools and their capabilities
- **Direct Tool Access**: Each tool can be accessed directly via its own API endpoints
- **Modular Design**: Easy to add or remove tools as needed
### Included Tools
1. **GitHub Tool**: Interact with GitHub repositories, issues, and search
2. **GitLab Tool**: Interact with GitLab projects, issues, and pipelines
3. **Google Maps Tool**: Geocoding, directions, and places search
4. **Memory Tool**: Store and retrieve data persistently
5. **Puppeteer Tool**: Take screenshots, generate PDFs, and extract content from websites
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- Node.js 14 or higher
- A Red Hat-based Linux distribution (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) or any Linux/macOS system
### Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server
```
2. Install Python dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Install Node.js dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
4. Create a `.env` file with your configuration:
```
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DEBUG=False
# GitHub configuration
GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-token
# GitLab configuration
GITLAB_TOKEN=your-gitlab-token
# Google Maps configuration
GMAPS_API_KEY=your-google-maps-api-key
# Memory configuration
MEMORY_DB_URI=sqlite:///memory.db
# Puppeteer configuration
PUPPETEER_HEADLESS=true
CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
```
5. Start the server:
```bash
python app.py
```
### Containerized Deployment
You can run the server using either Docker or Podman (Red Hat's container engine).
#### Docker Deployment
If you already have Docker and docker-compose installed:
1. Build the Docker image:
```bash
docker build -t mcp-server .
```
2. Run the container:
```bash
docker run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server
```
3. Alternatively, use docker-compose:
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
mcp-server:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
env_file:
- .env
restart: unless-stopped
```
Then run:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Podman Deployment
For Red Hat based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora) using Podman:
1. Build the container image:
```bash
podman build -t mcp-server .
```
2. Run the container:
```bash
podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env mcp-server
```
3. If you need persistent storage:
```bash
mkdir -p ./data
podman run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env -v ./data:/app/data:Z mcp-server
```
Note: The `:Z` suffix is important for SELinux-enabled systems.
4. Using Podman Compose (if installed):
```bash
# Install podman-compose if needed
pip install podman-compose
# Use the same docker-compose.yml file as above
podman-compose up -d
```
## Using the MCP Server
### MCP Gateway
The MCP Gateway is the main endpoint for accessing all tools using the MCP standard.
**Endpoint**: `POST /mcp/gateway`
**Request format**:
```json
{
"tool": "github",
"action": "listRepos",
"parameters": {
"username": "octocat"
}
}
```
**Response format**:
```json
{
"tool": "github",
"action": "listRepos",
"status": "success",
"result": [
{
"id": 1296269,
"name": "Hello-World",
"full_name": "octocat/Hello-World",
"owner": {
"login": "octocat",
"id": 1
},
...
}
]
}
```
### MCP Manifest
The MCP Manifest describes all available tools and their capabilities.
**Endpoint**: `GET /mcp/manifest`
**Response format**:
```json
{
"manifestVersion": "1.0",
"tools": {
"github": {
"actions": {
"listRepos": {
"description": "List repositories for a user or organization",
"parameters": {
"username": {
"type": "string",
"description": "GitHub username or organization name"
}
},
"returns": {
"type": "array",
"description": "List of repository objects"
}
},
...
}
},
...
}
}
```
### Direct Tool Access
Each tool can also be accessed directly via its own API endpoints:
- GitHub: `/tool/github/...`
- GitLab: `/tool/gitlab/...`
- Google Maps: `/tool/gmaps/...`
- Memory: `/tool/memory/...`
- Puppeteer: `/tool/puppeteer/...`
See the API documentation for each tool for details on the available endpoints.

## Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can extend the MCP server:
### Adding a New Tool
1. Create a new file in the `tools` directory, e.g., `tools/newtool_tool.py`
2. Implement the tool with actions following the same pattern as existing tools
3. Add the tool to the manifest in `app.py`
4. Register the tool's blueprint in `tools/__init__.py`
