How do I start the server?

Run `python ipc_server.py` from the command line. The server will start and listen for client registrations and MCP requests.

How do I register a client?

Send a POST request to `http://localhost: /register_functions` with a JSON body containing an `endpoint` name and a `functions` list (each function has name, description, and parameters).

What is the Hydra MCP Server?

Just a test project for an intermediate server between endpoints and Claude's MCP

What the server does

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.

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

Frequently asked questions

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