Description

Bos (MCP-BOS) is a modular, extensible Model Context Protocol (MCP) server framework designed for Claude Desktop. It provides a configuration-based approach for building and managing extensible MCP services, simplifying module loading and registration for MCP server development.

Features

• Modular Architecture: Easily build and manage extensible MCP services using a modular server framework.
• Configuration-Based Setup: Configure servers and modules through a config.json file, allowing for global and module-specific configurations (e.g., server name, debug mode, log levels, dependencies, module-specific parameters).
• Automatic Module Discovery: Supports automatic detection and loading of modules.
• Declarative Configuration: Modules can be enabled/disabled and configured declaratively.
• Extensibility: Create and add custom modules without modifying the core codebase. Modules follow a defined interface for easy integration.
• FastMCP Standard Support: Compatible with the FastMCP standard for improved interoperability.
• Multiple Execution Methods: Run the server via direct Python execution or using UV.
• Integration: Designed for integration with Claude Desktop and Cursor, supporting global and per-project MCP server configurations.
• Development Tools: Includes tools for development and testing (e.g., MCP Inspector for testing/debugging, log output for troubleshooting).
• Troubleshooting Guidance: Provides solutions for common issues such as module loading, character encoding, and connection problems.
• Language: Python
