### Description (declared)

# mcp-nlp

MCP-NLP is a FastMCP application designed to provide NLP (Natural Language Processing) capabilities using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

- **[FastMCP Framework v2](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp)**: A modern framework for fast, Pythonic way to build MCP servers.
- **[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction)**: A protocol that allows for the management and control of LLM contexts.
- **NLP-modules**
  - `textdistance`: A module for calculating text distance metrics

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

- [Python 3.12](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started)
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/tivaliy/mcp-nlp.git
   cd mcp-nlp
   ```

1. Install dependencies (using `uv`):

   ```bash
   uv sync
   ```

## Configuration

### Authentication Modes

The MCP-NLP server supports two authentication modes:

1. **Unauthenticated Mode** (default):

   - No API key required to access the server
   - Set environment variable `API_KEY_ENABLED=False`

1. **API Key Authentication**:

   - Requires a valid API key in the request header
   - Set environment variable `API_KEY_ENABLED=True` and `API_KEY=your-secret-key`
   - By default, the header name is `X-API-Key` (can be customized with `API_KEY_NAME`)

Example `.env` file:

```bash
# Authentication configuration
API_KEY_ENABLED=True
API_KEY=not-a-secret
# API_KEY_NAME=X-API-Key  # Optional: customize header name
```

## Available Tools

The MCP-NLP server currently provides the following MCP tools:

### Text Distance Module

Calculate similarity/distance between text sequences using various algorithms:

- **`#textdistance_measure`**:

  - **Purpose**: Measures text distance between two sequences of strings
  - **Parameters**:
    - `source` (required): The source text string
    - `ref…
