Mqttx Mcp Sse Server

An implementation of the Model-Context Protocol (MCP) that enables MQTT operations over Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport.

About MCP

The Model-Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services. This server implements the MCP specification using SSE (Server-Sent Events) as the transport layer, providing MQTT broker connectivity capabilities.

Features

• Implements MCP protocol version 2024-11-05
• Uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) as the transport layer
• Provides MQTT operations through MCP tools:
  • Connect to MQTT brokers
  • Subscribe to MQTT topics
  • Publish messages to MQTT topics
• Real-time message delivery from subscribed topics
• Session management for multiple clients

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or later)
• npm

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mqttx-sse-server.git
cd mqttx-sse-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

Running the Server

npm start

The server will start on port 4000 by default.

Configuring MQTTX

To use this MCP server with MQTTX, add the following configuration to your MQTTX settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mqttx-server": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4000/mqttx/sse"
    }
  }
}

MCP Protocol Implementation

This server implements the Model-Context Protocol with the following components:

• SSE Connection: Establishes persistent connection for real-time updates
• JSON-RPC API: Handles tool calls and responses according to MCP spec
• Tools Interface: Provides MQTT functionality through standardized MCP tools
• Session Management: Tracks client sessions and their MQTT connections

API Reference

SSE Connection

Establishes a persistent connection for receiving server events.

GET /mqttx/sse

Response events:

• endpoint: Contains the URL for making JSON-RPC calls
• heartbeat: Regular ping to keep the connection alive
• message: Contains JSON-RPC responses

JSON-RPC Commands

All commands are sent to the message endpoint with your session ID:

POST /mqttx/message?sessionId=xxx
