Alara StdIO Bridge

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Dynamically discover and call backend tools defined in Alara's OpenAPI schema.

• 2

  A stdio-based MCP bridge to integrate with clients like Cursor using a local Python process.

• 3

Description

This package implements a Machine Cognition Protocol (MCP) bridge over standard input/output to connect MCP clients (e.g., Cursor) with the Alara backend. It dynamically fetches available tools from Alara's OpenAPI schema, handles executing tool calls by forwarding requests to the Alara API, and authenticates using an API key provided via environment variables. The package includes a helper to generate the MCP configuration snippet and instructions for local development and testing.
