README
Hydra MCP
This project implements a Hydra MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that enables Claude to interact with various client functions through a REST API interface. The system consists of a central server that coordinates communication between multiple clients and exposes their functions to Claude through a standardized API.
Project Structure
ipc_server.py
: The central FastAPI server that manages function registration and routingipc_api.py
: The Hydra MCP interface that exposes client functions to Claudefake_client.py
: A sample client implementation for testingfake_claude.py
: A test implementation of Claude's interface
Features
- Centralized function registry for multiple clients
- REST API endpoints for function discovery and invocation
- Standardized communication protocol between clients and Claude
- Easy-to-use function registration system
- Automatic function discovery and documentation
API Endpoints
Server Endpoints
POST /register_functions
: Register new functions from a clientGET /get_functions
: Retrieve the list of all registered functions
MCP Tools
get_endpoints()
: List all available endpointsget_registered_functions(endpoint)
: Get functions available at a specific endpointcall_function(endpoint, function_name, arguments)
: Call a specific function with arguments
Usage
- Start the central server:
python ipc_server.py
- Register client functions:
# Example client registration
functions = [
{
"name": "example_function",
"description": "An example function",
"parameters": {
"param1": "string",
"param2": "integer"
}
}
]
requests.post(
f"http://localhost:{API_SERVER_PORT}/register_functions",
json={
"endpoint": "client1",
"functions": functions
}
)
- Use the MCP interface to interact with functions:
# Get available endpoints
endpoints = get_endpoints()
# Get functions for a specific endpoint
functions = get_registered_functions("localhost:1234")
# Call a function
result = call_function("localhost:1234", "example_function", {"param1": "value", "param2": 42})
Configuration
The server runs on port 6565 by default. This can be modified by changing the API_SERVER_PORT
constant in both ipc_server.py
and ipc_api.py
.
Dependencies
- FastAPI
- uvicorn
- requests
- fastmcp
Testing
The project includes sample implementations (fake_client.py
and fake_claude.py
) for testing the functionality. These can be used as reference implementations for creating new clients or testing the system.
