About This Server

This plugin provides integration between Genkit and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open standard allowing developers to build "servers" which provide tools, resources, and prompts to clients. Genkit MCP allows Genkit developers to both consume MCP tools, prompts, and resources as a client and provide tools and prompts as a server.

Server Information

šŸ“‹ Overview:

This report summarizes the content of a GitHub webpage for the "genkitx-mcp" plugin, an experimental feature for the Genkit framework. The plugin facilitates integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Genkit applications to consume and provide tools, prompts, and resources via the MCP.


ā­ Key Points:
* The genkitx-mcp plugin is marked as experimental.
* It enables Genkit to interact with MCP servers as a client and expose Genkit instances as MCP servers.
* Installation requires the genkit and genkitx-mcp npm packages.
* MCP clients can be created using the `mcpClient` function, which registers discovered tools and prompts with Genkit.
* MCP servers can be created using the `mcpServer` function to expose Genkit tools and prompts.

* There are limitations, as MCP prompts only support string parameters, and only user and model messages.


šŸ” Main Findings:
* The plugin allows seamless integration of Genkit with the Model Context Protocol.
* It supports both consuming MCP tools and exposing Genkit instances as MCP servers.

* MCP tool responses are handled to be compatible with Genkit's format.


šŸ“Š Details:
* Installation: `npm i genkit genkitx-mcp`
* MCP Client Creation: Uses the `mcpClient` function with options for server process, server URL, or transport.
* `name` (required): The name for the MCP client.
* `version` (optional): The client version number, defaulting to "1.0.0".
* `serverProcess`: Parameters for launching a local server process using the stdio MCP transport. Includes command, arguments, and env.
* `serverUrl`: The URL of a remote server for SSE MCP transport.
* `transport`: An existing MCP transport object.
* `rawToolResponses`: Whether to return the raw MCP tool response.
* MCP Server Creation: Uses the `mcpServer` function, exposing Genkit tools and prompts via the specified transport.
* Tool Response Handling: MCP responses are parsed as valid JSON, plain text if not valid, single non-text part or the full response for other conditions.

* Testing: The server can be tested using the official MCP inspector.


šŸŽÆ Conclusion:
The genkitx-mcp plugin provides a mechanism for Genkit to interact with the Model Context Protocol, both as a client and a server, expanding Genkit's capabilities with external tools, prompts and resources and vice versa.
