### Description (declared)

# fabric-mcp-common

Shared plumbing for FABRIC MCP servers: **token authentication**, **Prometheus
instrumentation**, and **structured logging**.

Extracted from [`fabric_api_mcp`](https://github.com/fabric-testbed/fabric_api_mcp) so that
new MCP implementations get this for free instead of reimplementing bearer extraction, JWT
claim decoding, local-vs-server token resolution, metric definitions, and identity plumbing
for logs and dashboards.

The point isn't only code reuse. Because every adopting server reports the **same metric
names and log fields**, one Grafana dashboard works against all of them — and that dashboard
ships in this package.

- **No third-party dependencies** in the core (`auth` + `logging`): pure standard library.
- **Everything heavier is an extra** — Prometheus, JWKS verification, FastMCP.
- **Framework adapters** for FastMCP and Starlette/ASGI, imported on demand.
- **Never logs a token.** Every `__repr__`, log-field helper and parameter sanitiser is
  redacted by construction.

| Subpackage | Contents | Needs |
| :-- | :-- | :-- |
| `fabric_mcp_common.auth` | bearer extraction, JWT claims, token sources, JWKS verification | stdlib (`[verify]` for signatures) |
| `fabric_mcp_common.metrics` | the `mcp_*` metric contract, ASGI middleware, bundled dashboard | `[metrics]` |
| `fabric_mcp_common.logging` | JSON formatter, level wiring, tool-logging decorator | stdlib |
| `fabric_mcp_common.integrations` | FastMCP and Starlette adapters | `[fastmcp]` for FastMCP |

## Install

```bash
pip install fabric_mcp_common                    # auth + logging (no dependencies)
pip install "fabric_mcp_common[metrics]"         # + Prometheus instrumentation
pip install "fabric_mcp_common[fastmcp]"         # + FastMCP request-context adapter
pip install "fabric_mcp_common[verify]"          # + CredMgr JWKS signature verification
pip install "fabric_mcp_common[all]"             # everything
```
