FileMaker MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that dynamically exposes FileMaker scripts as tools. It uses Gradio to provide a user interface for interacting with these tools.

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/mw777eds/filemaker_mcp_local/
cd filemaker_mcp_local

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Configure Environment Variables:

Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:
```
FM_USERNAME=your_filemaker_username
FM_PASSWORD=your_filemaker_password
FM_HOST=your_filemaker_host
FM_DATABASE=your_filemaker_database
FM_LAYOUT=your_filemaker_layout
```
Replace the placeholder values with your actual FileMaker credentials and database details.

Running the Server

Activate the virtual environment (if not already active):
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
Run the server script:
```
python gradio_mcp_server.py
```

This will start both the MCP server (listening on stdin/stdout for the MCP protocol) and a Gradio server (typically on port 7860) providing a web UI for the dynamically created tools.
