Architecture

This section outlines the architecture of the services, their interactions, and planned features.

Inspector

Inspector communicates via SSE protocol with each MCP Server, while each server adheres to MCP specification.

Template Setup

The current template does not connect to all MCP servers. Additionally, the API server communicates with the database using a SQL ORM.

graph LR

  subgraph localhost
    A[API Server]
    B[DBHub Server]
    C[Youtube Server]
    D[Custom Server]
  end

  subgraph Supabase Cloud
    E[Supabase DB]
  end

Reverse Proxy

Can be extended for other services like Frontend and/or certain backend services self-hosted instead of on cloud (e.g., Langfuse).

Quick Start

Setup to run the repository in both production and development environments.

Build community youtube MCP image with:

./community/youtube/build.sh

:::tip

Instead of cloning or submoduling the repository locally, then building the image, this script builds the Docker image inside a temporary Docker-in-Docker container. This approach avoids polluting your local environment with throwaway files by cleaning up everything once the container exits.

:::

Then build the other images with:

docker compose -f compose-dev.yaml build

Copy environment file:

cp .env.sample .env

Add your following API keys and value to the respective file: ./envs/backend.env, ./envs/youtube.env and .env.

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...
POSTGRES_DSN=postgresql://postgres...
YOUTUBE_API_KEY=...

Set environment variables in shell: (compatible with bash and zsh)

set -a; for env_file in ./envs/*; do source $env_file; done; set +a

Start production containers:

docker compose up -d

Development

First, set environment variables as per above.

VSCode Devcontainer

:::warning

Only replace the following if you plan to start debugger for FastAPI server in VSCode.

:::

Replace ./compose-dev.yaml entrypoint to allow debugging FastAPI server:

  api:
    image: api:prod
    build:
      dockerfile: ./backend/api/Dockerfile
    # highlight-next-line
    entrypoint: bash -c "sleep infinity"
    env_file:
      - ./envs/backend.env

Then:

code --no-sandbox .

Press F1 and type Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container to open containerized environment with IntelliSense and Debugger for FastAPI.

Without VSCode Devcontainer

Run development environment with:

docker compose -f compose-dev.yaml up -d

Debugging

Sometimes in development, nginx reverse proxy needs to reload its config to route services properly.

docker compose -f compose-dev.yaml exec nginx sh -c "nginx -s reload"
