os_helper.mcp module
os_helper: Model Context Protocol (MCP) surface.
A thin adapter that exposes the FastAPI app from os_helper.api as MCP
tools, so any MCP-aware host (an agent runtime, an IDE integration, a custom
shell) can call the safe os_helper utilities (hardware info, hashing, ASCII
normalization, size/time formatting, URL check, config loading) as first-class
tools. Uses fastapi-mcp (https://github.com/tadata-org/fastapi_mcp): one
wrapper publishes the whole existing HTTP surface, so the routes are never
duplicated.
Install the extra to pull in fastapi-mcp:
pip install "os-helper[mcp]"
Then run the server (HTTP API + MCP endpoint at /mcp):
os-helper-mcp # console entry point
python -m os_helper.mcp # equivalent
- os_helper.mcp.main()[source]
Console entry point (
os-helper-mcp): serve the API + MCP endpoint.Boots the FastAPI app (now serving both the plain HTTP routes and the
/mcpMCP endpoint) with uvicorn in a single worker. Local-first: binds to loopback by default (override withOS_HELPER_HOST/OS_HELPER_PORT).- Return type:
None
