Hydra MCP

This project implements a Hydra MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that enables Claude to interact with various client functions through a REST API interface. The system consists of a central server that coordinates communication between multiple clients and exposes their functions to Claude through a standardized API.

Project Structure

• ipc_server.py: The central FastAPI server that manages function registration and routing
• ipc_api.py: The Hydra MCP interface that exposes client functions to Claude
• fake_client.py: A sample client implementation for testing
• fake_claude.py: A test implementation of Claude's interface

Features

• Centralized function registry for multiple clients
• REST API endpoints for function discovery and invocation
• Standardized communication protocol between clients and Claude
• Easy-to-use function registration system
• Automatic function discovery and documentation

API Endpoints

Server Endpoints

• POST /register_functions: Register new functions from a client
• GET /get_functions: Retrieve the list of all registered functions

MCP Tools

• get_endpoints(): List all available endpoints
• get_registered_functions(endpoint): Get functions available at a specific endpoint
• call_function(endpoint, function_name, arguments): Call a specific function with arguments

Usage

1. Start the central server:

python ipc_server.py

2. Register client functions:

# Example client registration
functions = [
    {
        "name": "example_function",
        "description": "An example function",
        "parameters": {
            "param1": "string",
            "param2": "integer"
        }
    }
]

requests.post(
    f"http://localhost:{API_SERVER_PORT}/register_functions",
    json={
        "endpoint": "client1",
        "functions": functions
    }
)

3. Use the MCP interface to interact with functions:

# Get available endpoints
endpoints = get_endpoints()

# Get functions for a specific endpoint
functions = get_registered_functions("localhost:1234")

# Call a function
result = call_function("localhost:1234", "example_function", {"param1": "value", "param2": 42})

Configuration

The server runs on port 6565 by default. This can be modified by changing the API_SERVER_PORT constant in both ipc_server.py and ipc_api.py.

Dependencies

• FastAPI
• uvicorn
• requests
• fastmcp

Testing

The project includes sample implementations (fake_client.py and fake_claude.py) for testing the functionality. These can be used as reference implementations for creating new clients or testing the system.
