What is Hydra MCP?
Hydra MCP is a Model Control Protocol server designed to enable Claude (an AI model) to interact with various client functions. It acts as a central hub, managing function registration and routing requests between Claude and connected clients via a REST API.
How to use Hydra MCP?
To use Hydra MCP, first start the central server using python ipc_server.py. Then, register client functions by sending a POST request to the /register_functions endpoint. Finally, use the MCP interface (e.g., get_endpoints(), get_registered_functions(), call_function()) to interact with the registered functions.
