CI/CD Pipeline
The project includes a comprehensive GitHub Actions pipeline:
- Lint and Format: Runs ruff for code formatting and linting
- Test Suite: Runs tests across multiple Python versions and OS platforms
- Security Scan: Performs security vulnerability scanning
- Docker Build: Builds and tests Docker images
- Auto-publish: Publishes to PyPI and Docker Hub on release
Required Secrets
For full CI/CD functionality, configure these GitHub secrets:
PYPI_API_TOKEN
- PyPI authentication tokenDOCKERHUB_USERNAME
- Docker Hub usernameDOCKERHUB_TOKEN
- Docker Hub access token
Configuration
Environment Variables
LOG_LEVEL
- Logging level (default: INFO)PYTHONPATH
- Python path for module resolution
Server Configuration
The server can be configured via the ServerConfig
class in src/mcp_server/server.py
:
config = ServerConfig()
config.max_connections = 200
config.timeout = 60
Docker Configuration
Multi-stage Build
The Dockerfile uses multi-stage builds for optimized image size:
- Base stage: Sets up Python and system dependencies
- Dependencies stage: Installs Python packages with uv
- Runtime stage: Copies application code and runs the server
Health Checks
The container includes health checks to ensure the server is running correctly.
