Question 1

What runtime and dependencies are required?

Accepted Answer

Python, `uv` as the package manager, and the libraries listed in the project (FastMCP, LangGraph, LangChain MCP Adapters, and a custom Higress client) are required.

Question 2

How do I add a new tool to the server?

Accepted Answer

Create a tool class with a `register_tools` method, add methods to `utils/higress_client.py` if needed, then register the class in the `tool_classes` list in `server.py`. Optionally add the tool name to `SENSITIVE_TOOLS` if it requires human confirmation.

Question 3

How does data storage and authentication work?

Accepted Answer

The server communicates with the Higress Console API. Authentication credentials are provided via environment variables (see `.env.example`). No data is stored locally beyond configuration; all operations affect the connected Higress instance.
