firelynx - Model Context Protocol Server
firelynx is a scriptable implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with custom tools, prompts, and resources powered by a scripting environment.
Features
- MCP Protocol Support: Implements the standardized Model Context Protocol
- Scriptable Tools and Prompts: Create custom tools and prompt templates using multiple scripting languages
- Hot-Reloadable Configuration: Update server configuration via gRPC or file reload without stopping the server
- Modular Architecture: Separation between listeners, endpoints, and applications
- Multiple Script Engines: Powered by go-polyscript
- Lifecycle Management: Handled by go-supervisor
Quick Start
Installation
# Install from source
go install github.com/atlanticdynamic/firelynx/cmd/firelynx@latest
# Or build from source
git clone https://github.com/atlanticdynamic/firelynx.git
cd firelynx
make install
Running the Server
# Start with a configuration file (gRPC config API services disabled)
firelynx server --config /path/to/config.toml
# Start with an empty configuration (enable gRPC services on port 8765)
firelynx server --listen :8765
# Start with an initial config AND enable the gRPC listener for updates
firelynx server --config /path/to/config.toml --listen :8765
# Use the client CLI to interact with the server
firelynx client --server localhost:8765
Configuration
firelynx uses TOML configuration files with the following structure:
# firelynx Server Configuration
# TBD...
Architecture
firelynx follows a three-layer architecture:
- Listeners: Protocol-specific entry points (MCP, HTTP, gRPC)
- Endpoints: Connection mapping between listeners and applications
- Applications: Functional components including script apps and MCP implementations
Development
Requires Go 1.24 or later to compile.
# Clone the repository
