DARPEngine stores metadata for MCP servers hosted online and provides smart search capabilites.

## Features

* Simple CLI
* API access to search
* MCP tool to retrieve search results for connecting manually
* Routing MCP tool based on the server: answer any question using the tools found for the user's request

### Coming soon

* Support for `.well-known/mcp.json`
* Crawler
* Nice frontend
* Hosted version
* Validate different levels of SSL certificates and integrate this info smarly to make sensitive MCP servers difficult to spoof

## Installation

```
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
docker network create highkey_network
docker compose build
docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose-debug.yaml up --build --wait
```

## Getting started

You can connect the DARPEngine to an MCP Client (e.g. Claude Desktop or Cursor) using mcp tools provided. Just select SSE mode & specify `http://localhost:4689/sse` as the endpoint.

### Direct CLI use

Another way is to use CLI. Most of the scripts work with just standard Python libraries, but routing tool requires mcp package, you can install script requirements like this:

```
conda create -n darp 'python>=3.10'
conda activate darp
pip install -r mcp_server/requirements.txt
```

When installation is over we can use the scripts.

To begin with it we need to add some MCP servers to the engine, e.g:

```
$ python scripts/darp-add.py --url http://memelabs.ai:3006/sse --name code_analysis --description "Analyze gitlab repo for quality, topics, packages use"
```

Then we can make the requests:

```
$ python scripts/darp-search.py "Analyze https://github.com/BenderV/autochat"
