Key features

  1. 01Dynamically exposes FileMaker scripts
  2. 02Gradio web interface
  3. 03Database connection via environment variables

Use cases

  1. 01Call FileMaker scripts from an MCP client
  2. 02Interact with generated tools through the web UI

MCP support

It exposes FileMaker scripts as dynamically created tools for MCP clients.

From the project README

FileMaker MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that dynamically exposes FileMaker scripts as tools. It uses Gradio to provide a user interface for interacting with these tools.

Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/mw777eds/filemaker_mcp_local/
cd filemaker_mcp_local

  2. Create a virtual environment:

    python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

  3. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  4. Configure Environment Variables:

    Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:

    FM_USERNAME=your_filemaker_username
FM_PASSWORD=your_filemaker_password
FM_HOST=your_filemaker_host
FM_DATABASE=your_filemaker_database
FM_LAYOUT=your_filemaker_layout

    Replace the placeholder values with your actual FileMaker credentials and database details.

Running the Server

  1. Activate the virtual environment (if not already active):

    source venv/bin/activate

  2. Run the server script:

    python gradio_mcp_server.py

This will start both the MCP server (listening on stdin/stdout for the MCP protocol) and a Gradio server (typically on port 7860) providing a web UI for the dynamically created tools.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
