py2mcp 0.1.6

Quick MCP server creation from Python functions

py2mcp

Quick MCP (Model Context Protocol) server creation from Python functions.

Installation

pip install py2mcp

Quick Start

from py2mcp import mk_mcp_server

def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two numbers"""
    return a + b

def greet(name: str = "world") -> str:
    """Greet someone"""
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

# Create and run MCP server
mcp = mk_mcp_server([add, greet])

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

That's it! Your functions are now available as MCP tools.

Features

• Simple: Just pass functions to mk_mcp_server()
• Flexible: Supports input/output transformations
• Pythonic: Clean, decorator-free function definitions
• Powerful: Built on FastMCP for production-ready servers

Input Transformations

Transform inputs before they reach your functions:

from py2mcp import mk_mcp_server, mk_input_trans
import numpy as np

def add_arrays(a, b):
    """Add two numpy arrays"""
    return (a + b).tolist()

# Convert list inputs to numpy arrays
input_trans = mk_input_trans({'a': np.array, 'b': np.array})
mcp = mk_mcp_server([add_arrays], input_trans=input_trans)

From Stores (MutableMapping)

Automatically expose CRUD operations from any mapping:

from py2mcp import mk_mcp_from_store

projects = {'proj1': {'name': 'Project 1'}, 'proj2': {'name': 'Project 2'}}
mcp = mk_mcp_from_store(projects, name="project")

# Automatically creates: list_projects, get_project, set_project, delete_project

Serving: local (stdio) and remote (HTTP + OAuth)

mk_mcp_* build a server object; py2mcp also gives you two ways to run one.

Local (stdio) — for a one-click bundle (e.g. a Claude Desktop .mcpb):

from py2mcp import serve_stdio
serve_stdio(["mypkg.tools:summarize", "mypkg.tools:translate"], name="My Tools")
# or:  python -m py2mcp --config py2mcp_config.json

Remote (Streamable HTTP + OAuth 2.1) — for a hosted MCP server reached from a vendor's cloud (e.g. a claude.ai custom connector). The server is an OAuth 2.1 resource server: it validates a managed IdP's JWTs (audience-bound per RFC 8707) and never issues tokens itself.

from py2mcp.http import mk_http_app

AUTH = {
    "type": "jwt",                      # resource-server: validate the IdP's JWTs
    "jwks_uri": "https://idp.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json",
    "issuer": "https://idp.example.com",
    "audience": "https://my-connector.example.com/mcp",   # THIS server (RFC 8707)
    "authorization_servers": ["https://idp.example.com"],
    "base_url": "https://my-connector.example.com",
    "required_scopes": ["mcp:read"],
}

# An ASGI app you run under any ASGI server (uvicorn, gunicorn, serverless):
app = mk_http_app(["mypkg.tools:summarize"], name="My Connector", auth=AUTH)
#   uvicorn server.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000   (behind TLS)

serve_http(...) builds and runs it in-process (FastMCP/uvicorn). Both wrap FastMCP's native transports/OAuth — py2mcp does not reinvent them.
