Usage

These Flux MCP tools can be used via a standalone server, or combined with other tools. Note that along with flux-python (comes packaged with Flux, or pip install flux-python==<version> you can optionally install flux-sched-py for flux-sched functionality.

Server

We provide examples for fastmcp and a vanilla mcp (stdio) setup. Neither requirements are added to the install directly, so it's up to the user (you) to install. Tests are performed with fastmcp.

fastmcp

You will need fastapi and fastmcp installed.

# fastmcp
pip install fastmcp fastapi

To start the demo server:

# Vanilla MCP (with cli)
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "test", "version": "1.0"}}}' | python3 -m flux_mcp.server | jq

# Initialize and list tools
(echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "manual-test", "version": "1.0"}}}';
 echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "notifications/initialized"}';
 echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/list"}') | python3 -m flux_mcp.server | jq

# FastMCP
python3 -m flux_mcp.server.fastmcp

Testing

I will add tools to git as I write tests for them. To test, start the fastmcp server in one terminal:

python3 -m flux_mcp.server.fastmcp

To test flux-sched, ensure libreapi_cli.so is on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the server:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/flux/
python3 -m flux_mcp.server.fastmcp

In another terminal, run the test. You'll need to pip install pytest pytest-asyncio

pytest -xs tests/test_flux_validate.py
pytest -xs tests/test_flux_counts.py
pytest -xs tests/test_flux_job_delegation.py
pytest -xs tests/test_flux_job_core.py
pytest -xs tests/test_transformers.py

# Requires libreapi_cli.so
pytest -xs tests/test_flux_sched.py

# or
pytest -xs tests/test_*.py
