A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for NATS messaging system integration
Overview
This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for NATS, enabling AI models and applications to interact with NATS messaging systems through a standardized interface. It exposes a comprehensive set of tools for interacting with NATS servers, making it ideal for AI-powered applications that need to work with messaging systems.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). This server implements the MCP specification to provide NATS messaging capabilities to LLMs and AI applications, allowing them to:
- Interact with NATS messaging systems in a standardized way
- Safely inspect and monitor NATS servers and streams
- Perform read-only operations through a secure interface
- Integrate with other MCP-compatible clients and hosts
Features
- Server Management (Read-only Operations)
- List and inspect NATS servers
- Server health monitoring and ping
- Server information retrieval
- Stream Operations (Read-only Operations)
- View and inspect NATS streams
- Stream state and information queries
- Message viewing and retrieval
- Subject inspection
- Multi-Account Support
- Handle multiple NATS accounts simultaneously
- Secure credential management
- MCP Integration
- Implements MCP server specification
- Compatible with MCP clients like Claude Desktop
- Standardized tool definitions for LLM interaction
- Safe, read-only operations for AI interaction with NATS
