# Reactor MCP Server

An extensible [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server built on
[Reactor](https://github.com/datalayer/reactor). Three ideas, and the rest
follows from them.

## A tool is a contribution

An extension does not reach into a server and register a function on it. It
*offers* a tool at a contribution point, and the host builds a server from what
has been offered:

```python
from reactor import PluginManifest
from reactor_mcp_server import McpExtension, tool

class Sandboxes(McpExtension):
    def manifest(self) -> PluginManifest:
        return PluginManifest(name="sandboxes", version="1.0.0")

    @tool(title="Launch Sandbox")
    async def launch_sandbox(self, sandbox_name: str, variant: str = "eval") -> dict:
        """Launch a sandbox for this session to run code in."""
        return await launch(sandbox_name, variant)
```

Offering rather than registering is what makes the next part possible — and it
means what a server is made of can be read, listed and drawn before one is
built.

## A contribution can be extended

An extension may narrow, wrap or re-describe a tool **another** extension
offered:

```python
class DatalayerSandboxes(McpExtension):
    def manifest(self) -> PluginManifest:
        return PluginManifest(name="sandboxes-datalayer", version="1.0.0")

    def tool_extensions(self):
        def on_datalayer(handler):
            async def narrowed(sandbox_name: str, environment: str = "ai-env") -> dict:
                return await handler(sandbox_name, variant="datalayer")
            return narrowed

        return (("launch_sandbox", ToolExtension(
            wrap=on_datalayer,
            description="Launch a sandbox on Datalayer.",
        )),)
```

Without this, an extension that wants to narrow somebody else's tool has one
lever: register a tool of …
