This document provides a guide to setting up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using Python and Flask to interact with GitHub.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a custom server setup that allows users to interact with GitHub repositories through a Python-based server using Flask. This server is designed to handle specific commands sent via HTTP POST requests, enabling operations such as creating repositories on GitHub. The server uses a GitHub Personal Access Token for authentication and requires the installation of Python 3.x, Flask, and the requests library. Once set up, users can send JSON-formatted commands to the server, which processes these commands and interacts with GitHub accordingly.
Features
- Custom Command Handling: The server processes specific commands sent via HTTP POST requests.
- GitHub Integration: Allows interaction with GitHub repositories using a Personal Access Token.
- Python and Flask Based: Utilizes Python 3.x and Flask for server setup and operation.
- Secure Token Management: Requires secure setting of GitHub tokens for authentication.
- Repository Management: Supports operations like creating repositories on GitHub.
Usages
usage with github
1. Install Python 3.x
2. Install Flask and requests:
pip install flask requests
3. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with repo scope
4. Create mcp server file. [mcp_github_server.py]
5. Set your GitHub token securely (in terminal):
set GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YourTokenHere # on Windows
6. Run it:
python mcp_github_server.py
8. How to Send Post Request to Mcp Server,
Send a POST request to http://localhost:5001/command with JSON like:
BODY:
{
"name": "create-repo",
"input": {
"repo_name": "mcp-python-test",
"private": true,
"description": "Repository created via custom MCP Python server"
}
}
