The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables standardized communication between AI applications and external tools. Agentor’s LiteMCP makes it easy to build MCP servers that work with any MCP client.

What is LiteMCP?

LiteMCP is a FastAPI-native MCP server implementation. Unlike other solutions, it integrates directly with FastAPI using standard ASGI patterns, making it easy to add to existing applications.

LiteMCP vs FastMCP

Quick Start

Create a basic MCP server:
Your MCP server is now running at http://localhost:8000/mcp!

Server Components

Tools

Tools are functions that agents can call:

Prompts

Prompts are reusable templates for common tasks:

Resources

Resources provide access to data or content:

Authentication & Context

Access request headers, cookies, and authentication tokens:

Integration Patterns

Standalone Server

Run LiteMCP as a standalone application:

With Existing FastAPI App

Integrate MCP into your existing FastAPI application:
Now your MCP endpoints are available at /mcp alongside your existing API.

With ASGI Servers

LiteMCP is a native ASGI application:
Run with any ASGI server:
