lc2mcp

Convert LangChain tools to FastMCP tools — in one line of code.

Stop rewriting your tools. Just adapt them.

lc2mcp is a lightweight adapter that converts existing LangChain tools into FastMCP tools, enabling you to quickly build MCP servers accessible to Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install lc2mcp

3 Lines to MCP

from langchain_core.tools import tool
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from lc2mcp import register_tools

@tool
def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    """Get current weather for a city."""
    return f"Sunny, 25°C in {city}"

mcp = FastMCP("weather-server")
register_tools(mcp, [get_weather])  # ← That's it!

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Your tool is now available to Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client.

📚 Examples

Using Community Tools

Instantly expose DuckDuckGo search and Wikipedia to MCP clients:

pip install lc2mcp langchain-community duckduckgo-search wikipedia

from fastmcp import FastMCP
from langchain_community.tools import DuckDuckGoSearchRun, WikipediaQueryRun
from langchain_community.utilities import WikipediaAPIWrapper
from lc2mcp import register_tools

mcp = FastMCP("knowledge-server")

register_tools(mcp, [
    DuckDuckGoSearchRun(),
    WikipediaQueryRun(api_wrapper=WikipediaAPIWrapper()),
])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

With Authentication Context

Inject user authentication and app context into your tools:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from fastmcp import Context, FastMCP
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolRuntime
from lc2mcp import register_tools

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class UserContext:
    user_id: str
    tenant_id: str

@tool
def whoami(runtime: ToolRuntime[UserContext]) -> str:
    """Return the current user."""
    return f"Hello, user {runtime.context.user_id} from {runtime.context.tenant_id}"

def runtime_adapter(mcp_ctx: Context) -> ToolRuntime[UserContext]:
    return ToolRuntime(
        context=UserContext(
            user_id=mcp_ctx.get_state("user_id") or "anonymous",
            tenant_id=mcp_ctx.get_state("tenant_id") or "default",
        ),
        state={}, config={}, stream_writer=lambda x: None,
        tool_call_id=None, store=None,
    )

mcp = FastMCP("auth-server")
register_tools(mcp, [whoami], runtime_adapter=runtime_adapter)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

With Progress Reporting & Logging

Use MCP context for real-time progress updates and logging:

from fastmcp import Context, FastMCP
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from lc2mcp import register_tools

@tool
async def process_data(data: str, mcp_ctx: Context) -> str:
    """Process data with progress reporting."""
    await mcp_ctx.info(f"Starting: {data}")
    await mcp_ctx.report_progress(0, 100, "Starting")
    
    # ... processing steps ...
    await mcp_ctx.report_progress(50, 100, "Processing")
    
    await mcp_ctx.info("Complete!")
    await mcp_ctx.report_progress(100, 100, "Done")
    return f"Processed: {data}"

mcp = FastMCP("processor")
register_tools(mcp, [process_data], inject_mcp_ctx=True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Namespace & Conflict Handling

Organize tools with prefixes and handle name collisions:

from fastmcp import FastMCP
from lc2mcp import register_tools

mcp = FastMCP("multi-domain")

# Prefix all finance tools
register_tools(mcp, finance_tools, name_prefix="finance.")

# Auto-suffix on collision: tool → tool_2 → tool_3
register_tools(mcp, ops_tools, name_prefix="ops.", on_name_conflict="suffix")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

📖 API Reference

register_tools()

Convert and register LangChain tools as FastMCP tools on a server.

register_tools(
    mcp: FastMCP,
    tools: list[BaseTool | Callable],
    *,
    name_prefix: str | None = None,           # e.g. "finance." → "finance.get_stock"
    on_name_conflict: str = "error",          # "error" | "overwrite" | "suffix"
    inject_mcp_ctx: bool = False,             # inject mcp_ctx: Context
    runtime_adapter: Callable | None = None,  # Context → ToolRuntime[...]
)

to_mcp_tool()

Convert a single LangChain tool to FastMCP tool for manual registration.

to_mcp_tool(
    tool: BaseTool | Callable,
    *,
    name: str | None = None,
    description: str | None = None,
    args_schema: Type[BaseModel] | None = None,
    inject_mcp_ctx: bool = False,
    runtime_adapter: Callable | None = None,
) -> Callable
