### Description (declared)

# django-ninja-mcp-server

Let MCP clients such as Claude Code and Codex call your Django project.

You pick which Django Ninja operations and Python functions to expose. Each one
becomes an MCP tool that runs as a real Django user, through the same auth,
validation and permission code as your HTTP API.

- **Local (stdio):** `manage.py mcp --user alice`. For a developer's own
  machine, with no tokens.
- **Remote (Streamable HTTP):** OAuth 2.1, with
  [django-oauth-toolkit](https://github.com/jazzband/django-oauth-toolkit)
  as the authorization server. Tokens must be issued for your MCP URL
  (RFC 8707), and each tool can require scopes.

Built on the official [MCP Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk)
2.x and [Django Ninja](https://django-ninja.dev) 1.7+.
Supports Python 3.10+ and Django 4.2+.

## Install

```bash
pip install django-ninja-mcp-server            # stdio only
pip install "django-ninja-mcp-server[oauth]"   # adds django-oauth-toolkit for HTTP
```

Add `"ninja_mcp"` to `INSTALLED_APPS` (for the `mcp` management command).

## Expose tools

```python
# myproject/mcp.py
from ninja_mcp import NinjaMCP, get_identity

from orders.api import api
from orders.models import Order

mcp = NinjaMCP("Shop", instructions="Tools for the shop's order data.")

# Django Ninja operations, by view name or operation ID.
mcp.add_operations(api, ["list_orders", "get_order"], scopes=["orders:read"])
mcp.add_operations(api, ["refund_order"], scopes=["orders:write"])

# Plain functions. Sync functions run in a worker thread, so the ORM works.
@mcp.tool(scopes=["orders:read"])
def count_open_orders() -> int:
    """Count the caller's open orders."""
    return Order.objects.filter(owner=get_identity().user, status="open").count()
```

```python
# settings.py
NINJA_MCP_SERVER = "myproject.mcp.mcp"
```

An operation must allow MCP calls in its `auth`:

```python
from ninja.security import django_auth
from ninja_mcp import MCPAuth

@api.get("/orders", resp…
