## Design

This is a customizable, asynchronous server that can register and load tools of interest. Endpoints include functions (tools), prompts, resources. Those are now (for the most part) separated into modular projects:

- [flux-mcp](https://github.com/converged-computing/flux-mcp): MCP tools for Flux Framework
- [hpc-mcp](https://github.com/converged-computing/hpc-mcp): HPC tools for a larger set of HPC and converged computing use cases.

### Abstractions

The library here has the following abstractions.

- **tools**: server tools, prompts, and resources
- **ui**: user interface that an engine (with a main manager) uses
- **core**: shared assets, primarily the plan/step/config definitions and worker/hub hierarchy roles
- **routes**: server views not related to mcp.
- **databases**: how to save results as we progress in a pipeline (currently we support sqlite and filesystem JSON)

For the above, the engines, tools, ui, databases, and backends are interfaces.

## Development

It is recommended to open in VSCode container. Then install:

```bash
pip install --break-system-packages -e .
```

### Docker

To build the Docker container:

```bash
make
```

To run a dummy example:

```bash
docker run -p 8089:8089 -it ghcr.io/converged-computing/mcp-server:latest
```

And then interact from the outside:

```bash
python3 ./examples/echo/test_echo.py
```

### Environment

The following variables can be set in the environment.

| Name | Description | Default       |
|-------|------------|---------------|
| `MCPSERVER_PORT` | Port to run MCP server on, i…
