MCPStack

Stack & Orchestrate MCP Tools — The Scikit-Learn-Pipeline Way, For LLMs

[!IMPORTANT] 📣Come Check Out Our MCPs Marketplace, on the documentation! 🎉 MCPStack MIMIC MCP tool, available!

💡 About The Project

MCPStack is a Scikit-Learn-Like Pipeline orchestrator for Model Context Protocols (MCPs). It allows you to stack multiple MCP tools together into a pipeline of interest and expose them directly into your favourite LLM environment, such as Claude Desktop.

Think of it as scikit-learn pipelines, but for Large Language Models:

• In scikit-learn, you chain preprocessors, transformers, and estimators.
• In MCPStack, you chain MCP tools of interest. If some tools are not of interest, you simply do not include them in the pipeline.

The LLM cannot use a tool that is not included in the pipeline. This makes orchestration both powerful and secure. This permits sophisticated compositions in which the LLM can only access the tools you specify – no more, no less.

Wait, what is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) — In layman's terms ?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardises interactions with machine learning (Large Language) models, enabling tools and libraries to communicate successfully with a uniform workflow.

Installation

[!NOTE] MCPStack is the orchestrator — it comes with core utilities and validated tools. All validated tools are listed under mcp_tools in the pyproject.toml and are auto-registered via [project.entry-points."mcpstack.tools"].

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/MCP-Pipeline/MCPStack.git
cd MCPStack

Install dependencies

Using UV (recommended):

uv sync

Using pip:

pip install -e .[dev]

Install pre-commit hooks

Via UV:

uv run pre-commit install

Via pip:

pre-commit install

🖥️ CLI Workflow

You can manage and run your MCP pipelines directly from the CLI with the mcpstack command. Every command is run with uv run mcpstack (or just mcpstack if installed globally).

Help

Display all available CLI options, from utilities to building your pipeline, run with --help.

Utilities

List all validated tools available in your environment via list-tools and the presets via list-presets. A preset is an already configured pipeline that you can run in one command line rather than building it from scratch. Useful for experiments reproduction.

Your First Pipeline

Create a pipeline from scratch with more than one MCPs in it! pipeline <tool_name> --new/to-pipeline <json_output>.

MCP Tool Configuration

You can configure yoru MCP tools before adding it to your pipelines. tools <tool_name> configure <flags avail/of interest> then pipeline <tool_name> --tool-config <path_to_configured_tool> ....

Run Pipeline In Claude

As soon as you have built your pipeline, you can run it via many ways. One is within a LLM environment like Claude Desktop. build --pipeline <pipeline_path> --config-type <config_type_avail.> — Open Claude Desktop now!

Run W/ FastMCP

You can also run your pipeline with FastMCP, allowing you to connect to various LLMs avenues.

Many Other CLIs Options

More options are available, such as search for MCP tools or presets via a prompt query, run with presets, search for MCP tools help commands via tools <tool_name> --help, and more.

⚙️ Programmatic Workflow

For those wanted to integrate MCPStack into their Python workflow, or simply prefer to play with programmatic pathways, MCPStack provides a Python API to build and run pipelines, very similarly; with chaining-based methods for an intuitive and smooth programmatic API exp.

Your First Pipeline

Build your first pipeline programmatically by stacking MCP tools together via with_tool(.) or with_tools(...) methods. Of course, you can configure each tool before adding through with_tool(.).

With Presets

You can also use presets to build your pipeline, which is a pre-configured pipeline that you can run in one line of code rather than stacking with_tool(...) methods. Great for experiments reproduction.

Build, Save, & Run!

Once a pipeline's r eady, you can build, save and run it via many ways. build(.) preps your pipeline, validate & prepare it for running. Save(.) pipeline to a file, and run(.) via FastMCP.

Many Other APIs

More chaining methods are available, such as with_config(...) to configure the whole MNCPStack instance, with_tools(...) which suppresses the need to call with_tool(...) multiple times, etc.

Create Your Tool

You can also create your own MCP tool with the mcpstack-tool-builder CLI, which will generate a skeleton for you to fill in.

That means, creating the actions your MCP tool will allow LLMs to perform, and a CLI to initialise it, configure it, and run it. More in the documentation.
