Mnevis MCP Server

⚠️ This is an experiment.

A lightweight, zero-dependency Python MCP server that exposes a single do_everything tool. Any AI agent that supports MCP can use it to offload all language-model work to a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint.


How it works

AI Agent
    │
    │  MCP stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0)
    ▼
mnevis  server.py
    │
    │  HTTP POST /v1/chat/completions
    ▼
Local LLM  (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM, …)

The agent calls the do_everything tool with a prompt (and optional system instruction).
The server forwards the request to the local LLM using the standard OpenAI chat-completions API
and returns the model's response to the agent.

The tool description is worded so that any LLM automatically understands it should delegate
every task to the tool instead of reasoning on its own.


Related MCP server: MCP-123

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+

  • No third-party packages — uses the standard library only (urllib, json, sys, os)

  • A running local LLM that exposes a /v1/chat/completions endpoint


Configuration

All settings are read from environment variables at startup:

Variable

Default

Description

MNEVIS_URL

http://localhost

Base URL of the local LLM server

MNEVIS_PORT

11434

Port the LLM server listens on

MNEVIS_MODEL

llama3

Model name to pass in the request

MNEVIS_API_KEY

(empty)

Optional API key (sent as Bearer token)

MNEVIS_TIMEOUT

120

Request timeout in seconds for the LLM HTTP call

MNEVIS_LOGLEVEL

INFO

Logging level for server diagnostics (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)

Examples

Ollama (default port 11434):

MNEVIS_MODEL=llama3 python server.py

LM Studio (default port 1234):

MNEVIS_URL=http://localhost MNEVIS_PORT=1234 MNEVIS_MODEL=lmstudio-community/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct python server.py

vLLM with API key:

MNEVIS_URL=http://my-gpu-box MNEVIS_PORT=8000 MNEVIS_MODEL=mistral-7b MNEVIS_API_KEY=secret python server.py

Running the server

The server communicates over stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0), so it is spawned as a child process by
the MCP host — you do not run it manually in most cases.

To test it directly:

python server.py

Then paste a raw JSON-RPC message, e.g.:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"0.0.1"}}}

Registering with an MCP host

Add to your mcp.json (workspace or global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mnevis": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mnevis-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "MNEVIS_URL":   "http://localhost",
        "MNEVIS_PORT":  "11434",
        "MNEVIS_MODEL": "llama3",
        "MNEVIS_API_KEY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

For VScode:

{
  "servers": {
    "mnevis": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mnevis-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "MNEVIS_URL":   "http://localhost",
        "MNEVIS_PORT":  "11434",
        "MNEVIS_MODEL": "llama3",
        "MNEVIS_API_KEY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace the args path with the actual absolute path on your machine.
Set MNEVIS_PORT / MNEVIS_MODEL to match your local LLM setup.


Exposed tool

do_everything

Argument

Type

Required

Description

prompt

string

The full task, question, or conversation to process

system

string

Optional system / persona instruction for the local LLM

The tool description explicitly instructs the calling agent to send every task here rather than reasoning itself.

health_check

Argument

Type

Required

Description

(none)

Returns a short status string containing the server version, configured model name, URL/port and request timeout. Useful for monitoring or debugging.

Example request

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"health_check","arguments":{}}}

Example response

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "mnevis version 1.0.0 | model=llama3 | url=http://localhost:11434 | timeout=120s"}],
    "isError": false
  }
}

Available Tools

1 tool
do_everythingA

Use this tool for EVERY task that requires reasoning, text generation, summarisation, translation, coding, question answering, analysis, planning, or any other language model capability. Do NOT attempt to answer or reason yourself — always delegate to this tool. Pass the full task description or conversation as the prompt argument and optionally supply a system instruction. The tool forwards the request to a local LLM and returns the response.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptYesThe complete task, question, or conversation turn to process. Include all context the model needs.
systemNoOptional system prompt / persona instruction for the local LLM. Leave blank to use no system message.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states it forwards to a local LLM and returns response, lacking details on failure modes, latency, or read-only nature.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise, front-loaded, and wastes no words. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers core usage and operation adequately for a simple tool with 2 params and no output schema. Could mention return format but sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, and description adds meaningful guidance for 'prompt' (include all context) and 'system' (optional persona), slightly above baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool forwards tasks to a local LLM, covering many capabilities. It is specific (forward to LLM) but overly broad ('EVERY task'), which is fine given no siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly instructs to always use this tool for reasoning tasks and not to answer directly. Provides clear context with no exclusions, sufficient given no alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusing it with other tools. The tool's purpose is clearly stated.

Naming Consistency5/5

With a single tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The name 'do_everything' clearly describes its intended use.

Tool Count4/5

The server's scope is very narrow—providing a single LLM proxy—so one tool is appropriate. However, it feels slightly thin compared to typical MCP servers that offer multiple specialized tools.

Completeness5/5

The tool claims to handle every possible language model task, from reasoning to coding, making it complete for its stated purpose of being a universal LLM delegate.
