Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "ragflow-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/Users/junjian/GitHub/wang-junjian/ragflow-mcp-server", "run", "ragflow-mcp-server" ] } } ```
Published Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "ragflow-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "ragflow-mcp-server" ] } } ```

Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync
  1. Build package distributions:
uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

  1. Publish to PyPI:
uv publish

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:

  • Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
  • Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD
Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
  uv --directory /Users/junjian/GitHub/wang-junjian/ragflow-mcp-server \
  run ragflow-mcp-server \
  --api-key ragflow-dhMzViYzJlMTM1NjExZjBiNWU5MDI0Mm \
  --base-url http://172.16.33.66:8060

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.

New to MCP?

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.
