mcp-factory 0.1.0

A factory and managed server extension for fastmcp

mcp-factory

A server factory based on fastmcp, supporting automatic registration of methods as tools, remote invocation, and permission-based management.

Features

• 🔧 Auto Tool Registration - Automatically register FastMCP native methods as callable tools
• 🚀 Remote Invocation - Provide MCP-based remote method invocation
• 🔐 Permission Control - Server management based on authentication mechanisms
• 🏭 Factory Pattern - Batch creation and management of server instances
• 🔄 Server Composition - Support secure server mounting and importing operations
• 🔁 Config Hot Reload - Update configuration without restarting

Installation

pip install mcp-factory  # Using pip
# or
uv install mcp-factory   # Using uv (recommended)

Quick Start

from mcp_factory import FastMCPFactory

# Create factory instance
factory = FastMCPFactory()

# Create authentication provider
factory.create_auth_provider(
    provider_id="demo-auth0",
    provider_type="auth0",
    config={
        "domain": "your-domain.auth0.com",
        "client_id": "your-client-id",
        "client_secret": "your-client-secret"
    }
)

# Create server
server = factory.create_managed_server(
    config_path="examples/server_config.yaml",
    auth_provider_id="demo-auth0"
)

# Register custom tool
@server.tool(description="Calculate the sum of two numbers")
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

# Start server
server.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

Configuration

Minimal configuration example:

server:
  name: "my-mcp-server"
  instructions: "This is an example MCP server"
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 8000

auth:
  provider_id: "demo-auth0"

tools:
  expose_management_tools: true

For complete configuration examples, please refer to examples/advanced_config.yaml

Advanced Features

Configuration Hot Reload

# Reload configuration from specified path
result = server.reload_config("new_config.yaml")
print(result)  # Output: Server configuration reloaded (from new_config.yaml)

Server Composition

# Create two servers
server1 = factory.create_managed_server(name="main-server")
server2 = factory.create_managed_server(name="compute-server")

# Securely mount server
await server1.mount("compute", server2)

# Unmount server
server1.unmount("compute")

Auto-registered Management Tools

When setting expose_management_tools=True, the server automatically registers the following management tools:

# Get all auto-registered management tools
tools = await server.get_tools()
for tool in tools:
    if tool.name.startswith("mcp_"):
        print(f"Management Tool: {tool.name} - {tool.description}")

# Example management tools
await server.mcp_reload_config()  # Reload configuration
await server.mcp_get_server_info()  # Get server information
await server.mcp_list_mounted_servers()  # List mounted servers
await server.mcp_get_auth_config()  # Get authentication configuration

Note: MCP-Factory fully supports the native features of FastMCP, including lifecycle management (lifespan), tool serializers (tool_serializer), etc. Please refer to the FastMCP documentation for details.

Common APIs

# Authentication provider management
factory.create_auth_provider(provider_id="id", provider_type="auth0", config={})
factory.list_auth_providers()

# Server management
factory.list_servers()
factory.delete_server("name")

Roadmap

The following features are planned for future versions:

• Command Line Tool - Provide mcpf command-line tool to simplify the creation and management of servers and authentication providers
• More Authentication Providers - Add support for various authentication mechanisms such as OAuth2, JWT, etc.
• Multi-environment Configuration - Support configuration management for development, testing, production, and other environments
