Frappe MCP allows your Frappe Framework app to function as a Streamable HTTP MCP server.

# app/app/mcp.py
import frappe_mcp

mcp = frappe_mcp.MCP("todo-mcp")

@mcp.tool()
def fetch_todos(username: str): ...

@mcp.tool()
def mark_done(name: str): ...

# MCP endpoint at: http://<BASE_URL>/api/method/app.mcp.handle_mcp
@mcp.register()
def handle_mcp(): ...

Using PIP:

pip install frappe-mcp

Using UV:

uv add frappe-mcp

Frappe MCP is yet in its infancy, as of now it only supports Tools. Remaining server features such as resources, prompts, tool streaming using SSE will be added as needed.

If you are using a version of the Framework having the OAuth2 updates (frappe#33188) then using Frappe MCP with it should be pretty straight forward. You can view this video to check out how to set up Auth on the MCP Inspector.

If your version does not contain these updates, you will have to register an OAuth Client on your Framework instance for ht MCP client. You can check the docs for this.

Frappe MCP is fairly straightforward to use. Most of the MCP specific heavy lifting is handled for you.

To use frappe-mcp you first create an instance of the mcp object:

# app/app/mcp.py (same dir as hooks.py)
import frappe_mcp

mcp = frappe_mcp.MCP("your-app-mcp")

Each instance of an MCP object can be used to register a single MCP endpoint.

You can create multiple of these objects if you need to serve multiple MCP endpoints for instance to group functionality.

You use the instaniated object i.e. mcp to register tools:

# app/app/tools/tools.py
from app.mcp import mcp

@mcp.tool()
def tool_name(a: int, b: str):
    """Description of what the tool does

    Args:
        a: Description for arg `a`.
        b: Description for arg `b`.
    """
    ... # tool body

    return value

If needed, you can manually provide the inputSchema and other meta data like annotations. Check the Tools section for more details.

You use the instantiated object to mark a function as the entry point to your MCP server, i.e. the function endpoint will be where your MCP server is served from.

# app/app/mcp.py
@mcp.register()
def handle_mcp():
    import app.tools.tools # ensures that your tools are registered

Once this is done, your MCP server should be serving at the REST endpoint for the method (docs).

In this case the endpoint when running locally would be:

http://<SITE_NAME:PORT>/api/method/app.mcp.handle_mcp

You can register tools, in the following ways:

1. Using the @mcp.tool decorator
2. Using the mcp.add_tool method

The @mcp.tool decorator registers a function as a tool that can be used by an LLM.

The decorator accepts the following optional arguments:

• name (optional str): The name of the tool. If not provided, the function's __name__ will be used.
• description (optional str): A description of what the tool does. If not provided, it will be extracted from the function's docstring.
• input_schema (optional dict): The JSON schema for the tool's input. If not provided, it will be inferred from the function's signature and docstring.
• use_entire_docstring (optional bool): If True, the entire docstring will be used as the tool's description. Otherwise, only the first section is used (i.e. no Args). Defaults to False.
• annotations (optional dict): Additional context about the tool, such as validation information or examples of how to use it. This should be a dictionary conforming to the ToolAnnotations TypedDict structure.

Example:

from frappe_mcp import ToolAnnotations, MCP

mcp = MCP()

annotations = ToolAnnotations(
  title="Get Current Weather",
  readOnlyHint=True,
)

@mcp.tool(annotations=annotations)
def get_current_weather(location: str, unit: str = "celsius"):
    '''Get the current weather in a given location.'''
    # ... implementation ...

The mcp.add_tool method allows manually defining a tool, serving as an alternative to the @mcp.tool decorator.

It takes a Tool object as an arg.

Example:

from frappe_mcp import Tool, MCP

mcp = MCP()

def get_current_weather(location: str, unit: str = "celsius"):
    '''Get the current weather in a given location.'''
    # ... implementation ...

# Create a tool object
weather_tool = Tool(
    name="get_current_weather",
    description="...",
    input_schema={'type':'object', 'properties':{ ... }},
    output_schema=None,
    annotations=None,
    fn=get_current_weather,
)

# Add the tool to the MCP instance
mcp.add_tool(weather_tool)

The ToolAnnotations can be used to provide additional tool annotations defined by the MCP spec (reference).

class ToolAnnotations(TypedDict, total=False):
    title: str | None
    readOnlyHint: bool | None
    destructiveHint: bool | None
    idempotentHint: bool | None
    openWorldHint: bool | None

The Tool object that is used when manually defining and registering a tool using mcp.add_tool.

class Tool(TypedDict):
    name: str
    description: str
    input_schema: dict[str, Any]
    output_schema: dict[str, Any] | None
    annotations: ToolAnnotations | None
    fn: Callable

Input schema refers to the JSON Schema definition that describes a tool's parameters.

The following tool:

@mcp.tool()
def tool_name(a: int, b: str = "default"):
    """Description of what the tool does

    Args:
        a: Description for arg `a`.
        b: Description for arg `b`.
    """
    ... # tool body

    return value

will have this input schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "a": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Description for arg `a`."
    },
    "b": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Description for arg `b`."
    }
  },
  "required": ["a"]
}

This input schema is generated from the tool body automatically when using the decorator.

The MCP class is the main class for creating an MCP server.

This class orchestrates the handling of JSON-RPC requests, manages a registry of available tools, and integrates with a WSGI server (like Frappe Framework) to expose MCP functionality.

In a Frappe application, you would typically create a single instance of this class and use the @mcp.register() decorator on an API endpoint. Tools can be added using the @mcp.tool() decorator.

For use in other Werkzeug-based servers, you can use the mcp.handle() method directly.

This decorator is used in Frappe applications to designate a function as the entry point for MCP requests. It wraps the function with the necessary logic to handle JSON-RPC messages, including initializing the tool registry and routing requests to the appropriate handlers.

The decorator accepts the following optional arguments:

• allow_guest (optional bool): If True, allows unauthenticated access to the endpoint. Defaults to False.
• xss_safe (optional bool): If True, response will not be sanitized for XSS. Defaults to False.

Example:

# In app/mcp.py
from frappe_mcp import MCP

mcp = MCP(name="my-mcp-server")

@mcp.register()
def handle_mcp():
    '''The entry point for MCP requests.'''
    # This function body is executed before request handling.
    # It's a good place to import modules that register tools.
    import app.tools

This method directly processes a werkzeug.Request and returns a werkzeug.Response. It's the core request handling logic.

This method can be used to integrate the MCP server into any Werkzeug-based application i.e. even if you're not using Frappe Framework, you can use this to handle MCP endpoints in your server.

It accepts the following arguments:

• request: The werkzeug.Request object containing the MCP request.
• response: A werkzeug.Response object to be populated with the MCP response.

It returns the populated werkzeug.Response object.

Frappe MCP comes with a handy CLI tool to help you verify that your MCP server is set up correctly.

Its check command inspects your Frappe apps to ensure that frappe_mcp is being used correctly. This is also the default command, so you can run it with frappe-mcp or frappe-mcp check.

It performs the following checks:

• Verifies that it's running within a Frappe environment.
• Finds all apps that are potentially using frappe_mcp.
• For each app, it discovers MCP handlers.
• It then checks the handlers and their tools for correctness.

Options:

• --app, -a': Check only a specific app.
• --verbose, -v: Show detailed information such as the input schema.

Usage:

# After installing frappe-mcp and using it in your app

# In your frappe bench dir so that you can use the cli
source ./env/bin/activate

# Check all apps that might be using Frappe MCP
frappe-mcp

# Check specific app with verbose output
frappe-mcp check --app app_name --verbose

You can use the official inspector tool to verify if your MCP endpoints are being served correctly.

Make sure to:

1. Set Transport to Streamable HTTP.
2. Set URL to your MCP endpoint (you can use the CLI command frappe-mcp check to get it).
3. Navigate to Auth Settings then click on Quick OAuth Flow

After this you'll be prompted to login and authorize the client after which you can use it to test out your MCP server.
