MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server

A production-ready implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI models with access to external tools and services through a standardized JSON-RPC interface.

Features

  • JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP with WebSocket support
  • Modular Architecture for easy extension
  • Built-in Tools:
    • Weather API integration
    • Secure file system operations
    • SQLite database access
  • Production-Ready:
    • Comprehensive error handling
    • Logging with Winston
    • Configuration management
    • Input validation
    • Security best practices

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16+ or Docker
  • npm or yarn
  • SQLite3 (for database operations)
  • OpenWeatherMap API key (for weather functionality)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-server.git
    cd mcp-server
    
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install
    
  3. Copy the example environment file and update with your settings:

    cp .env.example .env
    
  4. Update the .env file with your configuration.

Configuration

Edit the .env file to configure the server:

# Server Configuration
PORT=3000
NODE_ENV=development

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=info
LOG_FILE=logs/mcp-server.log

# Weather API (OpenWeatherMap)
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Database
DB_PATH=./data/mcp-db.sqlite

# Security
MAX_REQUEST_SIZE=1mb
RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS=900000  # 15 minutes
RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS=100

# File System
SANDBOX_DIR=./sandbox
MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB=10

Usage

Starting the Server

# Development mode with hot-reload
npm run dev

# Production mode
npm start

# Using Docker
docker-compose up --build

Making Requests

The server exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint at POST /rpc.

Example request:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "weather.getCurrent",
  "params": {
    "city": "London"
  },
  "id": 1
}

Example response:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "location": {
      "name": "London",
      "country": "GB",
      "coord": {
        "lat": 51.5074,
        "lon": -0.1278
      },
      "timezone": 0,
      "sunrise": "2023-05-01T04:45:12.000Z",
      "sunset": "2023-05-01T19:53:12.000Z"
    },
    "weather": {
      "main": "Clear",
      "description": "clear sky",
      "icon": "01d",
      "temperature": {
        "current": 15.5,
        "feelsLike": 14.8,
        "min": 13.2,
        "max": 17.1
      },
      "pressure": 1012,
      "humidity": 72,
      "visibility": 10,
      "wind": {
        "speed": 3.6,
        "deg": 200
      },
      "clouds": 0
    },
    "lastUpdated": "2023-05-01T12:00:00.000Z"
  },
  "id": 1
}

Available Methods

Weather

  • weather.getCurrent(params: { city?: string, lat?: number, lon?: number, units?: string, lang?: string }) Get current weather for a location by city name or coordinates.

File System

  • file.read(params: { path: string, encoding?: string }) Read a file from the sandbox directory.

  • file.write(params: { path: string, content: string, encoding?: string, createDir?: boolean, append?: boolean }) Write content to a file in the sandbox directory.

Database

  • database.query(params: { sql: string, params?: any[], readOnly?: boolean }) Execute a SQL query against the database.

  • database.transaction(queries: Array<{ sql: string, params?: any[] }>) Execute multiple SQL queries in a transaction.

Security

  • All file system operations are sandboxed to the configured SANDBOX_DIR
  • SQL injection prevention measures are in place
  • Request size limits to prevent DoS attacks
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Environment variables for sensitive configuration
