### Description (declared)

# MCP Lens

**MCP Lens** is the Swagger UI equivalent for the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. It provides a beautiful, interactive, and dark-themed web interface to explore, execute, and debug your MCP servers locally.

MCP Lens automatically intercepts calls to your MCP Server (using `fastmcp`), aggregates the schema of all available tools, resources, and prompts, and instantly spins up a local web UI.

---

## 🚀 Features

- 🛠 **Tools Explorer**: View all available tools, their JSON schemas, and test them with a live form. See execution traces and server responses.
- 📚 **Resources Explorer**: Browse all standard and dynamically paginated resources exposed by your MCP servers and inspect their values instantly.
- 💬 **Prompts Explorer**: View predefined prompt templates and invoke them dynamically to see exactly how they will format for LLMs.
- 📜 **Request History**: Keep a log of all executions along with performance metrics (execution time, status codes) and effortlessly replay them.
- 🔐 **Multi-Server & Auth**: Supports instrumenting multiple MCP servers concurrently and provides an interface for Bearer token authorizations per server.

---

## 📦 Installation

To use MCP Lens in your project, simply install it via pip:

```bash
pip install mcp-lens-ui
```

*(Note: Ensure your MCP server is built using the `fastmcp` package.)*

---

## ⚡ How to Use

Using MCP Lens is incredibly easy. Just import `instrument` from `mcp_lens` and wrap your `FastMCP` app instances.

### Minimal Example (`example.py`)

Here is a full example showing how to create a basic weather MCP server and visualize it with MCP Lens.

```python
import httpx
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from mcp_lens import instrument

app = FastMCP("OpenMeteo Weather")

@app.tool()
async def get_current_weather(latitude: float, longitude: float) -> str:
    """Get the current weather for a specific latitude and longitude. Uses Open-Meteo free API."""
    url = f"https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latit…
