### Description (declared)

# AviaryMCP

AviaryMCP is a release-candidate, opinionated FastMCP runtime for publishing one
tool definition through MCP and a generated REST/OpenAPI interface. It extends
FastMCP through public APIs rather than maintaining a source fork, so MCP and
HTTP share the same registry, validation, middleware, handler, and authorization
decision.

Install the public release candidate from PyPI:

```console
python -m pip install 'aviary-mcp==0.1.0rc6'
```

```python
from aviary_mcp import AviaryMCP

app = AviaryMCP("calculator")

@app.tool
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two integers."""
    return a + b

app.run(transport="http", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)
```

`access="local"` is the safe default: HTTP may bind only to loopback, and
in-process/stdio calls receive a local principal. An unauthenticated network
service requires explicit `access="public"`. Supplying `auth=` (or a FastMCP
3.4 token verifier through `mcp_auth=`) selects private mode.

An authenticated REST face uses normalized principals and operation-centric
scopes:

```python
from aviary_mcp import AviaryMCP, Principal, StaticKeyAuth

app = AviaryMCP(
    "calculator",
    auth=StaticKeyAuth({
        # Use a generated, high-entropy secret in production. The provider
        # immediately retains only its SHA-256 digest.
        "development-secret": Principal(
            subject="example-client",
            scopes={"tool:call:add"},
        ),
    }),
)
```

`LocalAuth`, `StaticKeyAuth`, `FinchAssertionAuth`, `AnyOf`, and `AllOf`
normalize callers into a `Principal`. One outer ASGI authentication boundary
protects `/mcp`, generated REST routes, and application custom routes together.
The generated REST operation calls
`invoke_tool`, which checks `tool:call:<tool-name>` (plus any scopes registered
with `require_scopes`) before entering FastMCP's normal validation, middleware,
and handler path. When application auth is configured, the generated catalog
and OpenAPI routes also require authentica…
