### Description (declared)

# django-drf-mcp

Add [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) to any Django REST Framework project. Auto-discovers all DRF endpoints and exposes them as MCP tools — zero boilerplate.

## Features

- **Zero config** — add `"django_drf_mcp"` to `INSTALLED_APPS`, include the URLs, done
- **Auto-discovery** — every DRF ViewSet/APIView becomes an MCP tool automatically
- **Endpoint filtering** — include or exclude specific endpoints with `METHOD:PATH` glob patterns
- **Multiple transports** — STDIO, SSE, Streamable HTTP, or embedded Django view
- **Authentication** — pass auth headers (Token, JWT, Basic, API key) to MCP tool calls via `HEADERS` setting
- **DRF-integrated MCP view** — the `/mcp/` endpoint is a DRF `APIView`, inheriting authentication and permissions from `REST_FRAMEWORK` settings
- **MCP Docs UI** — interactive Swagger-style docs for your MCP tools at `/mcp/docs`
- **DRF Swagger UI** — optional built-in Swagger UI and OpenAPI schema endpoints
- **Fully configurable** — control every feature via a single `DJANGO_MCP` settings dict
- **Auto-configures drf-spectacular** — no manual setup needed

## Quick Start

### 1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS

```python
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "rest_framework",
    "django_drf_mcp",
]
```

> `drf-spectacular` is auto-injected — you don't need to add it yourself.

### 2. Include URLs

```python
# urls.py
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("", include("django_drf_mcp.urls")),
]
```

That's it. The MCP endpoint is now live at `/mcp/`.

### 3. Enable MCP Docs UI (requires ASGI)
