About MCP Server

What is MCP Server: Code-Free AI API Automation & Control?

MCP Server is a middleware solution enabling natural language-driven interaction with the z-ap-server APIs. Built on FastAPI, it bridges human-readable commands to technical endpoints, leveraging local Claude desktop integration on Mac devices. This lets users perform API actions without writing code—simply phrase requests in everyday language.

How to use MCP Server: Code-Free AI API Automation & Control?

Getting started involves three core steps:

Install dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure .env with z-ap-server credentials and optional Anthropic API access
Launch the server using uvicorn main:app --reload

Interact via the /natural_language_request endpoint, like this example:

cURL -X POST http://localhost:8000/natural_language_request -d '{"user_input": "Delete transaction 12345"}'

Or access the web interface for graphical control.

MCP Server Features

Key Features of MCP Server: Code-Free AI API Automation & Control?

Natural Language Mapping: Converts phrases like "Show user transactions" into precise API calls
Claude Desktop Integration: Uses local AI processing—no cloud API required if Claude is installed
Full CRUD Support: Create/modify/delete transactions and view user/transaction type catalogs
Contextual Security: Demonstrates JWT authentication—requires production hardening for real-world use

Use cases of MCP Server: Code-Free AI API Automation & Control?

Common scenarios include:

Rapid transaction audits via "List all transactions from last week"
On-the-fly corrections with "Adjust transaction #6789 amount to $99.99"
Administrative tasks like "Display user 4567's account details"
Quick prototype testing without coding API parameters

MCP Server FAQ

FAQ from MCP Server: Code-Free AI API Automation & Control?

Does it require internet access?: No—if using local Claude desktop, only your Mac's network is needed
Can I secure it for production?: Yes—replace the demo JWT with dynamic token generation and HTTPS
What languages are supported?: Claude's processing handles English-based commands natively
How do I debug issues?: Check server logs at startup and validate .env configuration first

MCP Server - Natural Language API Gateway for z-ap-server

This middleware service allows you to interact with the z-ap-server APIs using natural language queries through a FastAPI server. It integrates with Claude desktop on your Mac to process natural language commands.

Setup and Installation

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure environment variables (in .env file):

Z_AP_SERVER_BASE_URL=http://localhost/z-ap-server

API_USERNAME=your_username
API_PASSWORD=your_password
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=  # Optional, leave empty to use Claude desktop

Start the server:

uvicorn main:app --reload

Using Natural Language Interface

The MCP server provides a natural language interface to interact with the z-ap-server's transaction APIs. You can use the /natural_language_request endpoint to send natural language queries.

With Claude Desktop

Since you have Claude desktop installed on your Mac, the system will automatically use the local Claude app to process your natural language commands when no API key is provided.

Example Queries

Here are some examples of natural language queries you can use:

"Show me all transactions"
"Get transaction with ID 3770211"
"Create a new transaction for user 302960 with amount 50"
"Update transaction 3770212 to set amount to 25"
"Delete transaction 3770203"
"Show me the list of users"
"What are the transaction types?"

API Endpoint

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/natural_language_request \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"user_input": "Show me all transactions"}'

Web Interface

For a more user-friendly experience, you can access the HTML interface at:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/public/login_test.html

How It Works

Your natural language request is sent to the MCP server
The server uses Claude desktop to interpret your request
Claude maps your request to the appropriate z-ap-server API endpoint
The server makes the API call with the proper authentication
Results are returned in a user-friendly format

Available API Actions

The following actions are available through natural language:

get_transactions: Retrieve a list of transactions
get_transaction: Retrieve a specific transaction by ID
create_transaction: Create a new transaction
update_transaction: Update an existing transaction
delete_transaction: Delete a transaction
get_users: Retrieve a list of users
get_transaction_types: Retrieve a list of transaction types

Security Notes

The JWT bearer token is currently hardcoded in the application for demonstration purposes
In a production environment, implement proper token management and security practices
