v(irtual)MCP - Extend, Compose, Customize MCP servers

Project description

vMCP - Virtual Model Context Protocol

An open-source tool for aggregating and managing multiple MCP servers with a unified interface.

๐Ÿš€ Quickstart

Prerequisites

vMCP requires Python 3.10 to 3.13 and uv.

Installation

To install vMCP, run:

uv pip install 1xn-vmcp

Or use uvx to run directly:

uvx 1xn-vmcp run

Running vMCP

To run vMCP locally:

vmcp run

This will start the vMCP server on http://localhost:8000.

๐Ÿ“– What is vMCP?

vMCP (Virtual Model Context Protocol) is an open-source platform that allows you to:

  • Aggregate Multiple MCP Servers: Connect to multiple MCP servers (stdio, HTTP, SSE) and manage them from a single interface
  • Create Virtual MCPs: Combine tools, resources, and prompts from multiple servers into unified virtual endpoints. create custom tools using python function or using rest apis.
  • Manage Connections: Handle MCP server authentication (OAuth, Bearer tokens, Basic auth)
  • Track Usage: Monitor tool calls, resource reads, and prompt usage with built-in analytics
  • Deploy Anywhere: Run locally, in Docker, or deploy to cloud platforms

Key Features

  • โœ… No Authentication Required: Single local user mode for simplicity
  • ๐Ÿ”Œ MCP Protocol Support: Full support for stdio, HTTP, and SSE transports
  • ๐Ÿ” MCP Server Authentication: OAuth 2.0 support for MCP servers that require it
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Usage Statistics: Track and analyze vMCP usage patterns
  • ๐Ÿณ Docker Ready: Official Docker images for easy deployment
  • ๐Ÿ” OpenTelemetry Tracing: Built-in distributed tracing support
  • ๐Ÿ“ Standard Logging: Clean logging with DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR levels

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Architecture

Components

  1. MCP Servers: Individual MCP servers you connect to (e.g., filesystem, GitHub, Slack)
  2. VMCPs: Virtual MCPs that aggregate multiple MCP servers
  3. Storage: PostgreSQL database for configuration and stats
  4. Web UI: React-based interface for managing VMCPs and connections

Setup Development Environment

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/vmcp/vmcp.git
cd vmcp

# Install dependencies
uv sync


# Start development server
cd src
python3 main.py --reload

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://vmcp:vmcp@localhost:5432/vmcp

# Server
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8000
BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

# Tracing (optional)
ENABLE_TRACING=false
OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317

๐Ÿ“Š Usage Examples

Creating a vMCP

import httpx

# Create a new vMCP
response = httpx.post("http://localhost:8000/vmcps/create", json={
    "name": "my-vmcp",
    "description": "My virtual MCP",
    "mcp_server_ids": [
        "filesystem-server",
        "github-server"
    ]
})

vmcp_id = response.json()["vmcp_id"]
print(f"Created vMCP: {vmcp_id}")

Calling Tools via vMCP

# Call a tool through the vMCP
response = httpx.post(
    f"http://localhost:8000/vmcp/{vmcp_id}/tools/call",
    json={
        "tool_name": "read_file",
        "arguments": {"path": "/tmp/test.txt"}
    }
)

result = response.json()
print(result)

๐Ÿณ Docker Deployment

Quick Start with Docker

The easiest way to run vMCP is using our pre-built Docker image:

# Run vMCP directly from Docker Hub
docker run -p 8000:8000 onexn/vmcp:latest

Open your browser to http://localhost:8000 - that's it!

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

For a full setup with PostgreSQL database:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/codesque16/1xn_oss.git
cd 1xn_oss

# Start with Docker Compose
make docker-run
# or
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

Building Your Own Image

# Build from source
git clone https://github.com/codesque16/1xn_oss.git
cd 1xn_oss
make docker-build

# Run your custom build
docker run -p 8000:8000 your-image-name:latest
