hexastack-mcp

Model Context Protocol (MCP) adapter and AI agent tool integration for Hexastack.

1. Overview & Capabilities

hexastack-mcp exposes Hexastack application services directly to AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity, custom LLM agents) via the official Anthropic Model Context Protocol:

• Automatic CQRS Tool Generation (@mcp_tool): Decorates CQRS Command and Query models, converting them into structured LLM tools with JSON Schema validation.
• Resource URI Providers (@mcp_resource): Exposes read endpoints and system diagnostics as readable MCP resources (hexastack://schema, hexastack://info).
• Prompt Templates (@mcp_prompt): Configures reusable workflow prompts for LLM clients.
• Multiple Transports:
  • Standard I/O (stdio): Local process communication for desktop assistants and subprocess agents.
  • Server-Sent Events (sse): HTTP SSE transport via FastAPI for remote agent networks.
• Single-Pass Reflection: Discovers decorated tools and resources in Phase 3 module scanning via create_mcp_visitor.

Explicit Dependencies (Direct)

• hexastack-core: DI container, configuration registry, base exceptions.
• hexastack-cqrs: CommandBusPort and QueryBusPort for message dispatching.
• mcp>=1.3.0: Official Anthropic Model Context Protocol SDK.

Implied / Behavioral Relationships (DI-Mediated)

• FastAPI SSE Integration: McpBootstrapper (order=40) attaches SSE endpoints to the active FastAPI instance when hexastack-fastapi is present and auto_mount_fastapi=true.
• CQRS Dispatching: When an LLM executes an MCP tool, the adapter resolves CommandBusPort or QueryBusPort to run the command through the full middleware pipeline.

Optional Integrations (Extras)

• [fastapi]: Installs hexastack-fastapi and fastapi>=0.141.1 for remote SSE transport over HTTP.

4. Installation

# Standalone stdio transport
pip install hexastack-mcp

# With FastAPI remote SSE transport
pip install "hexastack-mcp[fastapi]"

# Via umbrella package
pip install "hexastack[mcp]"

5. Configuration Reference

[hexastack.mcp]
server_name = "Hexastack MCP Server"
server_version = "0.1.0"
sse_path = "/sse" # Route prefix for SSE transport
auto_mount_fastapi = true # Auto-mount SSE router into FastAPI on bootstrap

6. Quickstart Example

from dataclasses import dataclass
from hexastack_core.infra.bootstrap import bootstrap
from hexastack_cqrs.domain.query import Query
from hexastack_cqrs.infra.decorators import query_handler
from hexastack_mcp.infra.decorators import mcp_tool


# 1. Define CQRS Query & Handler
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class CheckSystemStatusQuery(Query):
    service: str = "database"


@query_handler(CheckSystemStatusQuery)
class CheckSystemStatusHandler:
    def __call__(self, qry: CheckSystemStatusQuery) -> dict[str, str]:
        return {"service": qry.service, "status": "HEALTHY"}


# 2. Expose as MCP Tool for AI Agents
mcp_tool(
    name="check_status",
    description="Check the real-time operational status of internal subsystems.",
)(CheckSystemStatusQuery)

# 3. Bootstrap Runtime and Run MCP Server
runtime = bootstrap(packages_to_scan=[__name__])
mcp_server = runtime.get("mcp_server")
