FastAPI-MCP
Expose your FastAPI endpoints as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, with Auth!
Overview
FastAPI-MCP is a zero-configuration tool designed to automatically expose FastAPI endpoints as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, simplifying the integration of FastAPI applications with MCP clients.
To use FastAPI-MCP, simply mount the MCP server to your FastAPI application by calling the add_mcp_server function with your FastAPI app instance and desired mount path.
- Direct integration with FastAPI applications. - Zero configuration required for setup. - Automatic discovery of FastAPI endpoints and conversion to MCP tools. - Preservation of request and response schemas. - Maintains documentation as seen in Swagger. - Ability to extend with custom MCP tools.
- Quickly expose existing FastAPI APIs as MCP tools for easy access.
- Integrate with various MCP clients like Claude for enhanced functionality.
- Facilitate the development of AI applications that require seamless API interactions.
Add to your AI client
Use these steps to connect FastAPI-MCP in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fastapi-mcp-tadata-org": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-fastapi-mcp-tadata-org"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"fastapi-mcp-tadata-org": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-fastapi-mcp-tadata-org"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"fastapi-mcp-tadata-org": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-fastapi-mcp-tadata-org"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"fastapi-mcp-tadata-org": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-fastapi-mcp-tadata-org"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fastapi-mcp-tadata-org": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-fastapi-mcp-tadata-org"
]
}
}
}Cline
Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
