README
A FastAPI client and a MCPServer client for Qdrant access as a service
The file main.py is the entry point and a command line argument selects which server you want to run.
main.py

from fastmcp_server import app as fastmcp_app
from config import settings
def run_fastapi():
"""Run the FastAPI server"""

uvicorn.run(
fastapi_app,
host="0.0.0.0",
port=settings.port,
log_level="info"
)
def run_fastmcp():
"""Run the FastMCP server"""
print(f"Starting FastMCP server on port {settings.mcp_port}")
fastmcp_app.run(port=settings.mcp_port)

Qdrant MCP Server
A dual-protocol server for Qdrant knowledge graph operations, supporting both FastAPI and FastMCP protocols.

File Descriptions
config.py
- Loads environment variables
- Contains settings for:
- Qdrant connection (URL, API key)
- OpenAI API key
- Collection names
- Server ports
- Uses pydantic for validation
qdrant_client.py
- Implements core Qdrant operations:
- Collection management
- Node upsert/delete
- Vector search
- Handles embedding generation via OpenAI
- Provides service layer for both server types
fastapi_server.py
- FastAPI implementation with:
- RESTful endpoints
- CORS middleware
- OpenAPI documentation
- Endpoints:
- POST /nodes/upsert
- POST /nodes/search
- DELETE /nodes
- GET /health
fastmcp_server.py
- FastMCP implementation with:
- MCP protocol compliance
- Authentication support
- Standardized response formats
- Same endpoints as FastAPI but with MCP envelope
main.py
- CLI entry point with:
- Server type selection (--server-type)
- Unified logging
- Port configuration
- Runs either FastAPI or FastMCP server
Installation
- Install Poetry (if not installed):
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
- Clone repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/qdrant-mcpserver.git
cd qdrant-mcpserver
- Install dependencies:
poetry install
- Configure environment:
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your actual values
Usage
Running the Server
# Run FastMCP server (default)
poetry run python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main
# Run FastAPI server
poetry run python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main --server-type fastapi
Environment Variables
Variable | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
QDRANT_URL | Yes | Qdrant server URL |
QDRANT_API_KEY | No | Qdrant API key |
OPENAI_API_KEY | Yes | OpenAI API key |
COLLECTION_NAME | No | Default: "knowledge_graph" |
PORT | No | FastAPI port (default: 8000) |
MCP_PORT | No | FastMCP port (default: 8080) |
MCP_SECRET | No | Authentication secret |
API Endpoints
Both servers provide the same endpoints:
POST /nodes/upsert
- Upsert knowledge graph nodesPOST /nodes/search
- Semantic search across nodesDELETE /nodes
- Delete nodes by IDsGET /health
- Health check
Development
Code Formatting
These commands ensure consistent code style:
# Formats code according to Black's style guide (PEP 8 compliant)
poetry run black .
Organizes imports properly (groups standard lib, third-party, local)
poetry run isort .Format code:
poetry run black .
poetry run isort .
Testing
Using pytest for comprehensive test coverage. Test files should mirror the main code structure:
Setup tests
poetry install --with test
poetry run pytest --cov --cov-report=html
# Run all tests
poetry run pytest -v
# Run with coverage report
poetry run pytest --cov=qdrant_mcpserver --cov-report=term-missing
Setup tests (one time):
Type checking:
poetry run mypy .
Deployment
Build production package:
poetry build
Install system-wide:
pip install dist/*.whl
Run as service:
python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main --server-type fastmcp
Key Features:
-
Flexible Server Selection:
- CLI argument chooses between FastAPI and FastMCP
- Shared configuration and Qdrant client
- Consistent endpoints across both
-
Comprehensive Documentation:
- Clear file structure explanation
- Installation and usage instructions
- Environment variable reference
- Development workflow
-
Production-Ready:
- Poetry for dependency management
- Configuration via environment variables
- Build and deployment instructions
-
Maintainable Structure:
- Separation of concerns
- Shared core functionality
- Clear development practices
The implementation allows you to switch between server protocols while maintaining the same underlying Qdrant operations.
