🚀 Project Overview

ops-mcp-server is an IT operations management solution for the AI era. It achieves intelligent IT operations through the seamless integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Large Language Models (LLMs). By leveraging the power of LLMs and MCP's distributed architecture, it transforms traditional IT operations into an AI-driven experience, enabling automated server monitoring, intelligent anomaly detection, and context-aware troubleshooting. The system acts as a bridge between human operators and complex IT infrastructure, providing natural language interaction for tasks ranging from routine maintenance to complex problem diagnosis, while maintaining enterprise-grade security and scalability.

⚙️ Installation

Ensure you have Python 3.10+ installed. This project uses uv for dependency and environment management.

1. Install UV

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

2. Set Up Virtual Environment

uv venv .venv

# Activate the environment
source .venv/bin/activate      # Linux/macOS
.\.venv\Scripts\activate       # Windows

3. Install Dependencies

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies are managed via pyproject.toml.

🚧 Deployment

📡 SSE Remote Deployment (UV)

cd server_monitor_sse

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start service
cd ..
uv run server_monitor_sse --transport sse --port 8000

🐳 SSE Remote Deployment (Docker Compose)

Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed.

cd server_monitor_sse
docker compose up -d

# Check status
docker compose ps

# Logs monitoring
docker compose logs -f

🛠️ Local MCP Server Configuration (Stdio)

Add this configuration to your MCP settings:

{
  "ops-mcp-server": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "--directory", "YOUR_PROJECT_PATH_HERE",
      "run", "server_monitor.py"
    ],
    "env": {},
    "disabled": true,
    "autoApprove": ["list_available_tools"]
  },
  "network_tools": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "--directory", "YOUR_PROJECT_PATH_HERE",
      "run", "network_tools.py"
    ],
    "env": {},
    "disabled": false,
    "autoApprove": []
  },
}

Note: Replace YOUR_PROJECT_PATH_HERE with your project's actual path.

💬 Interactive Client Usage

An interactive client (client.py) allows you to interact with MCP services using natural language.

1. Install Client Dependencies

uv pip install openai rich

2. Configure Client

Edit these configurations within client.py:

# Initialize OpenAI client
self.client = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url="https://your-api-endpoint",
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"
)

# Set model
self.model = "your-preferred-model"

3. Run the Client

uv run client.py [path/to/server.py]

Example:

uv run client.py ./server_monitor.py

Client Commands

• help - Display help.
• quit - Exit client.
• clear - Clear conversation history.
• model - Switch models.
