MCP Web UI

[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/MegaGrindStone/mcp-web-ui) [](https://codecov.io/gh/MegaGrindStone/mcp-web-ui)

MCP Web UI is a web-based user interface that serves as a Host within the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture. It provides a powerful and user-friendly interface for interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs) while managing context aggregation and coordination between clients and servers.

🌟 Overview

MCP Web UI is designed to simplify and enhance interactions with AI language models by providing:

• A unified interface for multiple LLM providers
• Real-time, streaming chat experiences
• Flexible configuration and model management
• Robust context handling using the MCP protocol

🚀 Features

• 🤖 Multi-Provider LLM Integration:
• Anthropic (Claude models)
• OpenAI (GPT models)
• Ollama (local models)
• OpenRouter (multiple providers)
• 💬 Intuitive Chat Interface
• 🔄 Real-time Response Streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• 🔧 Dynamic Configuration Management

• API keys for desired LLM providers

🛠 Installation

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

``bash git clone https://github.com/MegaGrindStone/mcp-web-ui.git cd mcp-web-ui ``

1. Configure your environment:

``bash mkdir -p $HOME/.config/mcpwebui cp config.example.yaml $HOME/.config/mcpwebui/config.yaml ``

1. Set up API keys:

``bash export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_openrouter_key ``

Running the Application

Local Development

go mod download
go run ./cmd/server/main.go

Docker Deployment

docker build -t mcp-web-ui .
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $HOME/.config/mcpwebui/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY \
  -e OPENROUTER_API_KEY \
  mcp-web-ui

🔧 Configuration

The configuration file (config.yaml) provides comprehensive settings for customizing the MCP Web UI. Here's a detailed breakdown:

Server Configuration

• port: The port on which the server will run (default: 8080)
• logLevel: Logging verbosity (options: debug, info, warn, error; default: info)
• logMode: Log output format (options: json, text; default: text)

Prompt Configuration

• systemPrompt: Default system prompt for the AI assistant
• titleGeneratorPrompt: Prompt used to generate chat titles

LLM (Language Model) Configuration

The llm section supports multiple providers with provider-specific configurations:

Common LLM Parameters

• provider: Choose from: ollama, anthropic, openai, openrouter
• model: Specific model name (e.g., 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022')
• parameters: Fine-tune model behavior:
• temperature: Randomness of responses (0.0-1.0)
• topP: Nucleus sampling threshold
• topK: Number of highest probability tokens to keep
• frequencyPenalty: Reduce repetition of token sequences
• presencePenalty: Encourage discussing new topics
• maxTokens: Maximum response length
• stop: Sequences to stop generation
• And more provider-specific parameters

Provider-Specific Configurations

• Ollama:
• host: Ollama server URL (default: http://localhost:11434)

• Anthropic:
• apiKey: Anthropic API key (can use ANTHROPICAPIKEY env variable)
• maxTokens: Maximum token limit
• Note: Stop sequences containing only whitespace are ignored, and whitespace is trimmed from valid sequences as Anthropic doesn't support whitespace in stop sequences

• OpenAI:
• apiKey: OpenAI API key (can use OPENAIAPIKEY env variable)
• endpoint: OpenAI API endpoint (default: https://api.openai.com/v1)
• For using alternative OpenAI-compatible APIs, see this discussion thread

• OpenRouter:
• apiKey: OpenRouter API key (can use OPENROUTERAPIKEY env variable)

Title Generator Configuration

The genTitleLLM section allows separate configuration for title generation, defaulting to the main LLM if not specified.

MCP Server Configurations

• mcpSSEServers: Configure Server-Sent Events (SSE) servers
• url: SSE server URL
• maxPayloadSize: Maximum payload size

• mcpStdIOServers: Configure Standard Input/Output servers
• command: Command to run server
• args: Arguments for the server command

Example MCP Server Configurations

SSE Server Example:

mcpSSEServers:
  filesystem:
    url: https://yoursseserver.com
    maxPayloadSize: 1048576 # 1MB

StdIO Server Examples:

1. Using the official filesystem MCP server:

mcpStdIOServers:
  filesystem:
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem"
      - "/path/to/your/files"

This example can be used directly as the official filesystem mcp server is an executable package that can be run with npx. Just update the path to point to your desired directory.

1. Using go-mcp filesystem MCP server:

mcpStdIOServers:
  filesystem:
    command: go
    args:
      - run
      - github.com/your_username/your_app # Replace with your app
      - -path
      - "/data/mcp/filesystem" # Path to expose to MCP clients

For this example, you'll need to create a new Go application that imports the github.com/MegaGrindStone/go-mcp/servers/filesystem package. The flag naming (like -path in this example) is completely customizable based on how you structure your own application - it doesn't have to be called "path". This example is merely a starting point showing one possible implementation where a flag is used to specify which directory to expose. You're free to design your own application structure and command-line interface according to your specific needs.
