A comprehensive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides Claude with direct access to Docker, DigitalOcean, and CloudFlare APIs for infrastructure management and automation.

## ⚠️ **IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING**

**USE AT YOUR OWN RISK**: This tool gives AI models direct access to infrastructure management APIs that can:
- Create, modify, or delete cloud resources (potentially incurring costs)
- Modify DNS settings (potentially breaking domains)
- Manage Docker containers and images (potentially affecting running services)
- Execute destructive operations on your infrastructure

**Before using:**
- Ensure you understand the capabilities and risks of each API
- Start with non-production environments only
- Review all operations before execution in production
- Monitor costs and resource usage carefully
- Have backup and recovery procedures in place

**AI models may:**
- Misinterpret instructions and perform unintended operations
- Make mistakes in resource configuration or deletion
- Execute multiple operations when only one was intended
- Struggle with complex multi-step procedures requiring human judgment

**Recommended safety measures:**
- Use dedicated development/testing accounts with spending limits
- Implement least-privilege API tokens with restricted permissions
- Monitor all operations through cloud provider dashboards
- Test operations in isolated environments first
- Keep backups of critical configurations and data

## 🤖 **VIBECODE FRIENDLY PROJECT**

This project welcomes contributions from AI/LLM agents! **Pull requests from Claude, GPT, and other AI models are actively encouraged.**

**Guidelines for AI contributors:**
- Follow existing code patterns and documentation standards
- Include comprehensive commit messages explaining changes
- Test changes thoroughly before submitting PRs
- Update documentation when adding new features

## ✨ Easy Setup with uvx

CargoShipper is available on PyPI and works seamlessly with `uvx` for easy installation and management, just like `mcp-server-git`.

### Quick Install from PyPI

```bash
# Run directly (recommended)
uvx cargoshipper-mcp

# Configure in your .mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoshipper": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["cargoshipper-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Development Setup

For local development and testing:

1. **Clone the repository:**
   ```bash
   cd cargoshipper-mcp
   ```

2. **Install dependencies:**
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   # or create a virtual environment first
   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. **Configure your APIs:**
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API tokens:
   # DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN=your_token_here
   # CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
   ```

4. **Use the development MCP configuration:**
   ```bash
   # Use .mcp.dev.json for local development
   cp .mcp.dev.json .mcp.json
   ```

## 🐳 Docker Integration

- **DNS Operations**: Advanced DNS with proxy settings
- **Cache Control**: Purge cache by URL, tags, or everything
- **Analytics**: Traffic and performance analytics
- **Security Settings**: SSL, security levels, firewall rules

## 🔧 Available Tools & Resources

**30 Tools Total:**
- **Docker (9 tools)**: `docker_run_container`, `docker_list_containers`, etc.
- **DigitalOcean (10 tools)**: `do_create_droplet`, `do_list_dns_records`, etc.  
- **CloudFlare (11 tools)**: `cf_create_zone`, `cf_purge_cache`, etc.

**17 Resources Total:**
- `docker://containers` - All containers with status
- `digitalocean://droplets` - All droplets with costs
- `cloudflare://zones` - All zones with analytics
- And many more...

## 📋 Configuration Files

### Production (.mcp.json)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoshipper": {
      "command": "uvx", 
      "args": ["cargoshipper-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Development (.mcp.dev.json)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoshipper": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "cargoshipper_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": ".",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## 🔑 API Credentials Setup

Create `.env` file or `~/.config/cargoshipper-mcp/.env`:

```env
# DigitalOcean API Token
DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN=your_digitalocean_token_here

# CloudFlare API Token (recommended)
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_cloudflare_token_here

# Alternative: CloudFlare Email + Global API Key
# CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=your@email.com
# CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=your_global_api_key
```

**Getting API Tokens:**
- **DigitalOcean**: [API Tokens Page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens)
- **CloudFlare**: [API Tokens Page](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens)

## 🚀 Usage Examples

Once configured, Claude will have access to infrastructure operations:

```
# Docker examples
"Run an nginx container on port 8080"
"List all running containers"
"Get logs from container abc123"

# DigitalOcean examples  
"Create a small droplet in NYC3"
"List all my droplets and their costs"
"Add an A record for api.example.com"

# CloudFlare examples
"Create a new zone for mysite.com"
"Purge all cache for example.com" 
"Show me analytics for the last 24 hours"
```

## 🌍 Published on PyPI

CargoShipper MCP is now available on PyPI! Access it at: https://pypi.org/project/cargoshipper-mcp/

Setup is as simple as:

```bash
# Run directly (most common)
uvx cargoshipper-mcp

# Configure in .mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cargoshipper": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["cargoshipper-mcp"] 
    }
  }
}
```

## 🛠️ Development

### Package Structure
- Uses proper Python packaging with `pyproject.toml`
- Console entry point: `cargoshipper-mcp = "cargoshipper_mcp.server:main"`
- Multi-path environment loading for uvx compatibility
- Type hints and comprehensive error handling throughout

### Testing
```bash
python test_server.py  # Validates imports and configuration
```

This approach follows the same pattern as `mcp-server-git` and other uvx-compatible MCP servers, making it extremely easy to install and use once published!
