MCP Tool Server
A production-oriented MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes tools to AI agents, built on FastMCP + FastAPI, with Docker support.
Built as a learning/portfolio project referencing the architecture of PrefectHQ/fastmcp, extended with several original pieces:
- Auto-discovery tool registry — drop a file with a
register(mcp)function intoapp/tools/and it's picked up automatically. No manual wiring inmain.py. - Per-client rate limiting — in-memory token bucket, keyed by API key.
- API key auth on the HTTP surface (
/tools/*endpoints), independent from the raw MCP protocol endpoint. - Structured logging with per-request IDs and timing.
- /health and /metrics endpoints for basic observability.
Tools included
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_weather |
Current weather for a lat/lon (Open-Meteo API) |
convert_currency |
Live FX conversion between currencies |
text_stats |
Word/sentence count + estimated reading time for text |
server_info |
Server introspection (uptime, platform, python version) |
Running locally
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m app.main
Server starts on http://localhost:8000.
- MCP protocol clients connect to
http://localhost:8000/mcp - HTTP clients can call
POST /tools/{tool_name}/invokewith headerx-api-key: <key>
Running with Docker
docker compose up --build
Adding a new tool
Create app/tools/my_tool.py:
def register(mcp) -> str:
@mcp.tool()
def my_tool(x: int) -> int:
"""Doubles a number."""
return x * 2
return "my_tool"
That's it — no changes to main.py needed, it's discovered on startup.
Tests
pytest tests/
Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |

RATE_LIMIT_CAPACITY |
20 | Max burst requests per client |
RATE_LIMIT_REFILL_PER_SEC |
