The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server template provides a foundational setup for deploying and running MCP servers using containerization technologies like Podman or Docker.
Errata Tool MCP Server
FastMCP server for Red Hat Errata Tool integration with AI assistants.
Quick Start
# Build and run
./build-container.sh build
./build-container.sh run-sse
# Get interactive shell with working Kerberos
./build-container.sh interactive
kinit your_username@IPA.REDHAT.COM
# Test functions
python -c "from mcp_server import list_products; print(list_products())"
python -c "from mcp_server import get_advisory_info; print(get_advisory_info('149143'))"
Available Functions
list_products()- List available products (RHEL, RHIVOS, etc.)list_states()- List advisory states (QE, SHIPPED_LIVE, etc.)list_advisories(product, state, limit)- List advisories ⚠️ Limited accessget_advisory_info(advisory_id)- Get advisory details ⚠️ Requires auth
MCP Client Configuration
Add to your MCP client config (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"errata-tool": {
"command": "podman",
"args": ["run", "-d", "--rm", "--name", "errata-mcp-sse", "-p", "8000:8000",
"-v", "/etc/krb5.conf:/etc/krb5.conf:ro", "--network", "host",
"localhost/errata-mcp:latest"],
"transport": { "type": "sse", "url": "http://localhost:8000" }
}
}
}
Authentication
For advisory access, run inside container:
kinit your_username@IPA.REDHAT.COM
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| "Pigeon crap. Did it forget to run kinit?" | Run kinit inside container |
| Container won't start | Check: podman --version, ./build-container.sh logs |
| SSE connection fails | Verify: curl http://localhost:8000/sse/ |
| Products/States work but advisories don't | Run kinit for authentication |
Commands
./build-container.sh build # Build image
./build-container.sh run-sse # Run SSE server (port 8000)
./build-container.sh run-stdio # Run stdio mode (for MCP clients)
./build-container.sh interactive # Open bash shell with working Kerberos
./build-container.sh shell # Get shell in running container
./build-container.sh logs # View logs
./build-container.sh stop # Stop containers
./build-container.sh clean # Remove all
