A simple MCP fastn server

Fastn Server

The Fastn server is a powerful, scalable platform that enables dynamic tool registration and execution based on API definitions. It seamlessly integrates with services like Claude.ai and Cursor.ai, providing a unified server solution for a wide range of tasks. With its robust architecture, Fastn delivers exceptional performance and flexibility for real-time, API-driven operations.

Getting Started

Package Installation (Recommended)

The easiest way to install the Fastn server is using pip:

pip install fastn-mcp-server

After installation, you can run the server with:

fastn-mcp-server --api_key YOUR_API_KEY --space_id YOUR_SPACE_ID

When using the package installation, your configuration for AI assistants will look like:

macOS/Linux:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "fastn": {
            "command": "/path/to/fastn-mcp-server",
            "args": [
                "--api_key",
                "YOUR_API_KEY",
                "--space_id",
                "YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Windows:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "fastn": {
            "command": "C:\\path\\to\\fastn-mcp-server.exe",
            "args": [
                "--api_key",
                "YOUR_API_KEY",
                "--space_id",
                "YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID"
            ]
        }
    }
}

To find the exact path of the installed fastn-server command:

• On macOS/Linux: which fastn-server
• On Windows: where fastn-server

Features

            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/path/to/your/fastn-server",
                "run",
                "fastn-server.py",
                "--api_key",
                "YOUR_API_KEY",
                "--space_id",

Troubleshooting

Package Structure Error

If you encounter an error like this during installation:

ValueError: Unable to determine which files to ship inside the wheel using the following heuristics:
The most likely cause of this is that there is no directory that matches the name of your project (fastn).

Quick Fix:

1. Make sure pyproject.toml has the wheel configuration:

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["."]

2. Then install dependencies:

uv pip install "httpx>=0.28.1" "mcp[cli]>=1.2.0"

3. Run the server:

uv run fastn-server.py --api_key YOUR_API_KEY --space_id YOUR_SPACE_ID

Logging

Logs are output with timestamp, level, and message in the following format:

%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
