Overview

What is FileMaker MCP Server?

FileMaker MCP Server dynamically exposes FileMaker scripts as tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with a Gradio web interface for interacting with those tools. It is built for developers who want to integrate FileMaker script execution into MCP-compatible AI workflows.

How to use FileMaker MCP Server?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from requirements.txt, configure FileMaker credentials in a .env file (FM_USERNAME, FM_PASSWORD, FM_HOST, FM_DATABASE, FM_LAYOUT), and run python gradio_mcp_server.py. This starts the MCP server on stdin/stdout and a Gradio UI on port 7860.
