A FastAPI client and a MCPServer client for Qdrant access as a service

The file main.py is the entry point and a command line argument selects which server you want to run.

File Descriptions

config.py

  • Loads environment variables
  • Contains settings for:
    • Qdrant connection (URL, API key)
    • OpenAI API key
    • Collection names
    • Server ports
  • Uses pydantic for validation

qdrant_client.py

  • Implements core Qdrant operations:
    • Collection management
    • Node upsert/delete
    • Vector search
  • Handles embedding generation via OpenAI
  • Provides service layer for both server types

fastapi_server.py

  • FastAPI implementation with:
    • RESTful endpoints
    • CORS middleware
    • OpenAPI documentation
  • Endpoints:
    • POST /nodes/upsert
    • POST /nodes/search
    • DELETE /nodes
    • GET /health

fastmcp_server.py

  • FastMCP implementation with:
    • MCP protocol compliance
    • Authentication support
    • Standardized response formats
  • Same endpoints as FastAPI but with MCP envelope

main.py

  • CLI entry point with:
    • Server type selection (--server-type)
    • Unified logging
    • Port configuration
  • Runs either FastAPI or FastMCP server

Installation

  1. Install Poetry (if not installed):
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
  1. Clone repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/qdrant-mcpserver.git
cd qdrant-mcpserver
  1. Install dependencies:
poetry install
  1. Configure environment:
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your actual values

Usage

Running the Server

# Run FastMCP server (default)
poetry run python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main

# Run FastAPI server
poetry run python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main --server-type fastapi

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | QDRANT_URL | Yes | Qdrant server URL | | QDRANT_API_KEY | No | Qdrant API key | | OPENAI_API_KEY | Yes | OpenAI API key | | COLLECTION_NAME | No | Default: "knowledge_graph" | | PORT | No | FastAPI port (default: 8000) | | MCP_PORT | No | FastMCP port (default: 8080) | | MCP_SECRET | No | Authentication secret |

API Endpoints

Both servers provide the same endpoints:

  • POST /nodes/upsert - Upsert knowledge graph nodes
  • POST /nodes/search - Semantic search across nodes
  • DELETE /nodes - Delete nodes by IDs
  • GET /health - Health check

Development

Code Formatting

These commands ensure consistent code style:

# Formats code according to Black's style guide (PEP 8 compliant)
poetry run black .

Organizes imports properly (groups standard lib, third-party, local)

poetry run isort .Format code:

poetry run black .
poetry run isort .

Testing

Using pytest for comprehensive test coverage. Test files should mirror the main code structure:

Setup tests

poetry install --with test
poetry run pytest --cov --cov-report=html
# Run all tests
poetry run pytest -v

# Run with coverage report
poetry run pytest --cov=qdrant_mcpserver --cov-report=term-missing
Setup tests (one time):

Type checking:

poetry run mypy .

Deployment

Build production package:

poetry build

Install system-wide:

pip install dist/*.whl

Run as service:

python -m qdrant_mcpserver.main --server-type fastmcp

Key Features:

  1. Flexible Server Selection:

    • CLI argument chooses between FastAPI and FastMCP
    • Shared configuration and Qdrant client
    • Consistent endpoints across both
  2. Comprehensive Documentation:

    • Clear file structure explanation
    • Installation and usage instructions
    • Environment variable reference
    • Development workflow
  3. Production-Ready:

    • Poetry for dependency management
    • Configuration via environment variables
    • Build and deployment instructions
  4. Maintainable Structure:

    • Separation of concerns
    • Shared core functionality
    • Clear development practices

The implementation allows you to switch between server protocols while maintaining the same underlying Qdrant operations.
