Overview

What is Django MCP Server?

Django MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Django. It enables MCP clients and AI agents to interact with any Django application by exposing Django models and custom logic as MCP tools through a declarative, Django-style interface.

How to use Django MCP Server?

Install via pip (pip install django-mcp-server), add mcp_server to INSTALLED_APPS, include its URLs in your project’s urls.py, then define tools by subclassing ModelQueryToolset or MCPToolset in a mcp.py file. The MCP endpoint is served at /mcp by default. Use python manage.py mcp_inspect to verify tool declarations.

Key features of Django MCP Server

Expose Django models as MCP tools in two lines of code.
Publish custom Python methods as MCP tools via MCPToolset.
Convert Django Rest Framework views to MCP tools with one annotation.
Works on both WSGI and ASGI without infrastructure changes.
Supports session management via Django sessions (stateless option available).
Integrates with Claude AI, Google ADK, and any MCP client.

Use cases of Django MCP Server

Allow AI agents to query or update Django models through natural language.
Add MCP endpoints to an existing Django app without rewriting logic.
Expose DRF CRUD operations to MCP clients for automated data management.
Enable chatbots to send emails or perform custom business logic via Django.

Frequently asked questions

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.x, Django (version supported shown on PyPI), and optionally Django Rest Framework for DRF tool integration. No additional infrastructure changes needed.

How do I secure the MCP endpoint?

Set `DJANGO_MCP_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES` in `settings.py` to use DRF authentication classes. For production or public data, consider OAuth2 integration with django-oauth-toolkit and its DCR add-on.

Does Django MCP Server work with both WSGI and ASGI?

Yes, it works on both WSGI and ASGI without any infrastructure changes. The server manages state independently of the deployment model.

Can I expose existing DRF views as MCP tools?

Yes, use `drf_publish_create_mcp_tool`, `drf_publish_update_mcp_tool`, `drf_publish_delete_mcp_tool`, or `drf_publish_list_mcp_tool` annotations or method calls on your DRF views. Note that built-in authentication and pagination are disabled when used this way.

How do I test the MCP tools during development?

Use the management command `python manage.py mcp_inspect` to list declared tools. You can also connect with the MCP Python SDK via `streamablehttp_client` or test in Claude Desktop using a stdio configuration.
