Fledge MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Fledge functionality to Cursor AI, allowing the AI to interact with Fledge instances via natural language commands.

Prerequisites

• Fledge installed locally or accessible via API (default: http://localhost:8081)
• Cursor AI installed
• Python 3.8+

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Krupalp525/fledge-mcp.git
cd fledge-mcp

2. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Server

1. Make sure Fledge is running:

fledge start

2. Start the MCP server:

python mcp_server.py

For secure operation with API key authentication:

python secure_mcp_server.py

3. Verify it's working by accessing the health endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8082/health

You should receive "Fledge MCP Server is running" as the response.

Connecting to Cursor

1. In Cursor, go to Settings > MCP Servers

2. Add a new server:

   • URL: http://localhost:8082/tools
   • Tools file: Upload the included tools.json or point to its local path

3. For the secure server, configure the "X-API-Key" header with the value from the api_key.txt file that is generated when the secure server starts.

4. Test it: Open Cursor's Composer (Ctrl+I), type "Check if Fledge API is reachable," and the AI should call the validate_api_connection tool.

Available Tools

Testing the API

You can test the server using the included test scripts:

# For standard server
python test_mcp.py

# For secure server with API key
python test_secure_mcp.py

Security Options

The secure server (secure_mcp_server.py) adds API key authentication:

1. On first run, it generates an API key stored in api_key.txt
2. All requests must include this key in the X-API-Key header
3. Health check endpoint remains accessible without authentication

Example API Requests

# Validate API connection
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "validate_api_connection"}' http://localhost:8082/tools

# Generate mock data
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "generate_mock_data", "parameters": {"sensor_id": "temp1", "count": 5}}' http://localhost:8082/tools

# Generate React chart component
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "generate_ui_component", "parameters": {"component_type": "chart", "sensor_id": "temp1"}}' http://localhost:8082/tools

# For secure server, add API key header
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" -d '{"name": "list_sensors"}' http://localhost:8082/tools

Extending the Server

To add more tools:

1. Add the tool definition to tools.json
2. Implement the tool handler in mcp_server.py and secure_mcp_server.py

Production Considerations

For production deployment:

• Use HTTPS
• Deploy behind a reverse proxy like Nginx
• Implement more robust authentication (JWT, OAuth)
• Add rate limiting
• Set up persistent data storage for subscriptions

Deploying on Smithery.ai

The Fledge MCP Server can be deployed on Smithery.ai for enhanced scalability and availability. Follow these steps to deploy:

1. Prerequisites
