๐ง FastAPI Integration Guide
The Perfect Research MCP Server now provides seamless integration with FastAPI applications through a standalone HTTP server architecture. This allows you to add powerful research capabilities to any existing FastAPI application without modifying your core codebase.
๐๏ธ Architecture Overview
Your Frontend/Client
โ
Your FastAPI Server (Port 8000)
โ HTTP calls
MCP Server (Port 3001)
โ
Research Processing Components
Benefits:
- โ Clean Separation: Your existing API remains unchanged
- โ Scalable: Run multiple MCP server instances
- โ Maintainable: Update services independently
- โ Production Ready: Microservices architecture
๐ Quick FastAPI Integration (3 Steps)
Step 1: Start the MCP Server
# Navigate to MCP server directory
cd /path/to/mcp-server-reserch-assistent
# Start the standalone HTTP server
python start_mcp_server.py --host localhost --port 3001
Step 2: Add Integration to Your FastAPI App
Add these 3 lines to your existing FastAPI application:
# your_existing_fastapi_app.py
from fastapi import FastAPI
import sys
from pathlib import Path
# Add MCP integration path
mcp_dir = Path("/path/to/mcp-server-reserch-assistent")
sys.path.insert(0, str(mcp_dir))
# Import MCP routes
from api_integration.fastapi_routes import router as mcp_router, cleanup_mcp_client
# Your existing FastAPI app
app = FastAPI()
# Your existing routes
@app.get("/")
def read_root():
return {"message": "Your existing API"}
# Add MCP routes (ONE LINE!)
app.include_router(mcp_router)
# Add cleanup on shutdown (ONE LINE!)
@app.on_event("shutdown")
async def shutdown_event():
await cleanup_mcp_client()
Step 3: Test the Integration
# Start your FastAPI server
uvicorn your_app:app --host localhost --port 8000
# Test health check
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/mcp/health
# Test web search
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/mcp/search/web \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "AI research", "search_type": "scholar", "num_results": 5}'
๐ก Available API Endpoints
Once integrated, your FastAPI server will have these new endpoints:

๐ก Integration Best Practices
- Error Handling: Always check MCP server health before making requests
- Timeouts: Set appropriate timeouts for long-running operations (PDF processing, PPT generation)
- Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting on your FastAPI endpoints
- Caching: Cache frequently accessed data to reduce MCP server load
- Monitoring: Set up health checks and alerting for the MCP server
- Security: Use proper authentication and input validation
- Logging: Log all interactions for debugging and monitoring
This integration approach provides a clean, scalable solution that enhances your existing FastAPI application with powerful research capabilities while maintaining separation of concerns and production readiness.

const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/process-paper`, {

React Component Example

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { ResearchAPI } from './research-api';
export const ResearchDashboard = () => {
const [papers, setPapers] = useState([]);

๐ Advanced Integration Patterns
Background Task Processing
# For long-running tasks
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
@app.post("/api/research/process-paper-async")
async def process_paper_async(
background_tasks: BackgroundTasks,
file: UploadFile = File(...),
request: PaperProcessRequest = None
):
"""Process paper asynchronously"""
task_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
# Add to background tasks
background_tasks.add_task(
process_paper_background,
task_id,
file,
request
)
return {"task_id": task_id, "status": "processing"}
async def process_paper_background(task_id: str, file: UploadFile, request: PaperProcessRequest):
"""Background task for paper processing"""
# Implementation here
pass
WebSocket Integration
from fastapi import WebSocket
@app.websocket("/ws/research/{client_id}")
async def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket, client_id: str):
await websocket.accept()
try:
while True:
data = await websocket.receive_json()
if data['type'] == 'process_paper':
# Process and send updates
await websocket.send_json({
"type": "progress",
"message": "Processing PDF...",
"progress": 25
})
# Continue processing...
except Exception as e:
await websocket.send_json({
"type": "error",
"message": str(e)
})
๐ FastAPI Performance Tips
- Enable Async Processing: Use
async def
for all endpoints - Implement Caching: Cache frequent searches and analyses
- Use Background Tasks: For long-running operations
- Add Rate Limiting: Prevent API abuse
- Monitor Performance: Track response times and errors
- Database Integration: Store processed papers in PostgreSQL/MongoDB
- File Storage: Use cloud storage for PDFs and presentations
๐ฏ Quick Start Summary
๐ For Standalone HTTP Server:
# 1. Start MCP server
python start_mcp_server.py --host localhost --port 3001
# 2. Test endpoints
curl http://localhost:3001/health
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/mcp/call -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"tool": "advanced_search_web", "arguments": {"query": "AI research"}}'
๐ For FastAPI Integration:
# 1. Add to your FastAPI app
from api_integration.fastapi_routes import router as mcp_router, cleanup_mcp_client
app.include_router(mcp_router)
@app.on_event("shutdown")
async def shutdown_event():
await cleanup_mcp_client()
# 2. Your API now has 11 new research endpoints!
๐ Available Endpoints Summary:
- 11 FastAPI routes for complete research workflow
- 4 direct MCP tools for advanced operations
- 3 deployment options (HTTP server, Streamlit, stdio)
- Full microservices architecture ready for production
๐จ Troubleshooting Guide
Common Issues & Solutions
1. PDF Processing Failures
# Issue: LlamaParse API key missing
โ ๏ธ LLAMA_PARSE_API_KEY not set - using fallback PDF parsing
# Solution: Add LlamaParse API key to .env (optional but recommended)
LLAMA_PARSE_API_KEY=your_llamaparse_api_key_here
2. Pinecone Connection Errors
# Issue: Vector dimension mismatch
โ Vector dimension 1536 does not match the dimension of the index 3072
# Solution: Ensure embedding model matches index dimensions
# In .env file:
EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-3-large
EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS=3072
3. OpenAI API Errors
# Issue: Rate limiting or quota exceeded
โ Rate limit exceeded for requests
# Solutions:
# 1. Reduce batch sizes in config.py
# 2. Add delays between requests
# 3. Upgrade OpenAI plan
# 4. Use gpt-4o-mini for cost optimization
4. Search API Limitations
# Issue: SerpAPI quota exceeded
โ SerpAPI monthly limit reached
# Solutions:
# 1. SerpAPI offers 100 free searches/month
# 2. Upgrade to paid plan for more searches
# 3. Implement search result caching
5. Memory Issues
# Issue: Large PDF processing fails
โ Memory error processing large documents
# Solutions:
# 1. Reduce CHUNK_SIZE in config.py
# 2. Process papers individually
# 3. Increase system RAM
# 4. Use cloud processing for large files
6. Environment Setup Issues
# Issue: Missing dependencies
โ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nltk'
# Solution: Ensure all dependencies are installed
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -c "import nltk; nltk.download('punkt')"
System Validation Commands
# Run comprehensive system check
python run.py
# Check API connectivity
python -c "from config import AdvancedConfig; print(AdvancedConfig().validate_config())"
# Test Pinecone connection
python -c "from vector_storage import AdvancedVectorStorage; vs = AdvancedVectorStorage(config); print('Connected!')"
# Verify Streamlit installation
streamlit --version
Performance Optimization Tips
- API Key Management: Rotate keys regularly and monitor usage
- Caching Strategy: Implement Redis for frequently accessed data
- Batch Processing: Process multiple papers in batches
- Resource Monitoring: Monitor CPU, memory, and API usage
- Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error logging
- Backup Strategy: Regular backup of processed data and configurations
๐ Performance Metrics & Benchmarks
