Switchboard

Intelligent MCP server orchestrator that automates configuration, orchestration, and lifecycle management of other MCP servers for AI agents.

Tests Coverage Python

Overview

mcp-switchboard eliminates the manual overhead of configuring MCP servers for AI agents by:

• Analyzing task context to determine required MCP servers
• Selecting appropriate servers based on intelligent matching
• Configuring servers with correct credentials and settings
• Validating server health and tool availability
• Learning from historical patterns to improve recommendations

Time Savings: Reduces MCP setup from 5-15 minutes to <30 seconds per task

Quick Start

Installation

Using uv (Recommended - Fast & Modern):

# Install from PyPI
uv pip install mcp-switchboard

# Or run directly without installation
uvx mcp-switchboard --analyze "Deploy ECS to prod"
uvx mcp-switchboard-server  # Run MCP server

From source:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/aslanpour/mcp-switchboard
cd mcp-switchboard

# Install with uv
uv pip install -e .

# Or with pip
pip install -e .

Basic Usage

from mcp_switchboard.analyzer.analyzer import TaskAnalyzer
from mcp_switchboard.selector.selector import ServerSelector
from mcp_switchboard.config.registry import ServerRegistry

# Analyze task
analyzer = TaskAnalyzer()
analysis = analyzer.analyze("Deploy ECS to prod Tokyo using DEVOPS-123")

# Select servers
registry = ServerRegistry()
selector = ServerSelector(registry)
selection = selector.select(analysis)

# Results
print(f"Selected: {[s.server_name for s in selection.selected_servers]}")
# Output: ['atlassian-mcp', 'aws-api-mcp']

Status

Current Version: v1.0.0 - Production Ready 🎉

Functional Completion: 100%

What Works:

• ✅ Task analysis (keyword + LLM)
• ✅ Server selection with confidence scoring
• ✅ Historical pattern learning (NEW in v1.0.0)
• ✅ Credential management (AWS SSO, OAuth, tokens)
• ✅ Configuration writing with snapshots
• ✅ Configuration rollback
• ✅ Real-time health monitoring (NEW in v1.0.0)
• ✅ State tracking and history
• ✅ MCP server with 6 tools
• ✅ Multi-transport (STDIO/SSE/HTTP)
• ✅ Server subprocess management
• ✅ Full orchestration workflow

MCP Tools Available:

1. setup_mcp_servers - Complete orchestration with real-time health monitoring
2. analyze_task - Extract task requirements
3. select_servers - Recommend MCP servers (with historical learning)
4. manage_servers - Subprocess management
5. rollback_configuration - Restore previous config
6. list_snapshots - View available snapshots

Advanced Features:

• Real-time server startup validation
• Historical pattern learning for better recommendations
• Confidence boosting based on past success
• Exponential backoff retry logic
• Detailed health metrics (startup time, tools available)

Tests: 85/85 passing (100%)

Performance:

• Task analysis: <2ms
• Server selection: <1ms
• Total orchestration: 2-3 seconds
• Health validation: <1 second per server
