QMCP - Model Context Protocol Server

A spec-aligned Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with FastAPI.

Features

✅ Tool Discovery - List available tools via /v1/tools
✅ Tool Invocation - Execute tools via /v1/tools/{name}
✅ Invocation History - Audit trail via /v1/invocations
✅ Human-in-the-Loop - Request human input via /v1/human/*
✅ Persistence - SQLite with SQLModel/aiosqlite
✅ Python Client - qmcp.client.MCPClient for workflows
✅ Metaflow Examples - Ready-to-use flow templates
✅ Agent Framework - SQLModel schemas + mixins for agent types/topologies
✅ Structured Logging - JSON logs with structlog
✅ Request Tracing - Correlation IDs across requests
✅ Metrics - Prometheus-compatible /metrics endpoint
✅ CLI Interface - Manage via qmcp command

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Start the server
uv run qmcp serve

# Or with development reload
uv run qmcp serve --reload

See quickstart.md for a copy-paste walkthrough.

Adoption and Onboarding

Adoption checklist:

Decide how the server is hosted (local, container, or VM) and who can reach it.
Set QMCP_HOST, QMCP_PORT, and QMCP_DATABASE_URL for your environment.
Standardize X-Correlation-ID values for audit trails across clients.
Decide how humans submit HITL responses (UI or API).
Wire /metrics into your monitoring stack.

Onboarding path:

uv sync --all-extras
Run the end-to-end tutorial below.
uv run qmcp serve for local exploration.

End-to-End Tutorial (HITL approval workflow)

This tutorial mirrors the end-to-end test tests/test_hitl.py::TestHITLWorkflow::test_complete_approval_workflow.

Copy and paste:

uv sync --all-extras
uv run pytest tests/test_hitl.py::TestHITLWorkflow::test_complete_approval_workflow -v

Client Library

from qmcp.client import MCPClient

with MCPClient(base_url="http://localhost:3333") as client:
    # List tools
    tools = client.list_tools()

    # Invoke a tool
    result = client.invoke_tool("echo", {"message": "Hello!"})
    print(result.result)

    # Human-in-the-loop
    request = client.create_human_request(
        request_id="approval-001",
        request_type="approval",
        prompt="Approve deployment?",
        options=["approve", "reject"]
    )
    response = client.wait_for_response("approval-001", timeout=3600)

See docs/client.md for full API documentation.

Architecture

See docs/architecture.md for the full architectural overview.

The system follows a three-plane architecture:

Client/Orchestration - Metaflow workflows (MCP client)
MCP Server - FastAPI service (this project)
Execution/Storage - Tools and database

Example Flows

See examples/flows/ for Metaflow integration examples:

simple_plan.py - Basic tool invocation
approved_deploy.py - HITL approval workflow
local_agent_chain.py - Local LLM plan -> review -> refine with SQLModel artifacts
local_qc_gauntlet.py - Local LLM QC checklist/task/gate builder
local_release_notes.py - Local LLM release notes and doc update suggestions

For local LLM flows, install extras with uv sync --extra flows. Start uv run qmcp serve when --use-mcp True to enable MCP calls. On Windows, prefer running flows in a Linux container to avoid platform-specific Metaflow dependencies.

Docker runner (recommended on Windows):

docker compose -f docker-compose.flows.yml build
docker compose -f docker-compose.flows.yml run --rm flow-runner \
  examples/flows/local_agent_chain.py run --use-mcp True --goal "..."

Set MCP_URL and LLM_BASE_URL (or pass --mcp-url / --llm-base-url) when running in Docker, e.g. http://host.docker.internal:3333.
