Text Processing and API Integration MCP Server: Extending AI Model Capabilities

Overview: What is the Text Processing and API Integration MCP Server?

The Text Processing and API Integration MCP Server is a specialized implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) designed to enhance AI applications by providing an array of powerful tools. These tools, built using Deno and TypeScript, enable seamless integration with various resources like text processing utilities, data conversion services, and external APIs. By adopting this MCP server, AI developers can enrich their applications without significant coding efforts, ensuring they remain adaptable and functional across a range of use cases.

🔧 Core Features & MCP Capabilities

Text Processing Tools

The Text Processing module includes a suite of tools for manipulating and transforming text data, essential for natural language processing tasks. Some key tools include:

• convertCase: Converts text to upper case, lower case, title case, camel case, snake case, or kebab case.
• trimText: Removes leading and trailing whitespace or specific characters from the text.
• searchReplace: Conducts search-and-replace operations using regex patterns.
• splitText: Splits the input text into multiple parts based on a delimiter.
• joinText: Joins multiple text parts with a specified delimiter.

Data Conversion Tools

For developers working with diverse data formats, the Data Conversion tools provide flexibility. This module includes:

• convertJsonYaml: Converts between JSON and YAML formats.
• convertCsvJson: Converts between CSV and JSON formats.
• convertXmlJson: Converts between XML and JSON formats.
• convertUnit: Facilitates unit conversions (temperature, length, weight).
• convertDateFormat: Supports date format conversions among various standards.

API Integration Tools

The API Integration tools enable seamless communication with external services:

• executeHttpRequest: Executes HTTP requests for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations.
• getWeatherInfo: Fetches weather information based on the provided location.
• translateText: Provides multilingual text translation capabilities.
• getGeocoding: Retrieves geographic information using geocoding APIs.
• getNews: Fetches news articles from various sources.

Development Tools

For developers, utility tools like:

• getStringLength: Determines the length of a given string.
• formatJson: Formats JSON data for better readability.
• generateUuid: Generates unique identifier strings (UUIDs).
• findFiles: Helps locate files matching specific patterns within directories.

⚙️ MCP Architecture & Protocol Implementation

This MCP server is built around Deno, leveraging the benefits of TypeScript for enhanced type safety and functional programming principles. The architecture consists of modular components that adhere to the MCP protocol:

1. Main Entry Point (server.ts): Serves as the starting point of the application.
2. Tool Sets:
   • Development Tools: Provides utility functions used during development.
   • Text Processing Tools: Handles text manipulation and transformation.
   • Data Conversion Tools: Converts data between different formats.
   • API Integration Tools: Interfaces with external APIs.

🚀 Getting Started with Installation

To get started, ensure you have the required environment ready:

Prerequisites

• Deno 1.40.0 or higher version.
• Visual Studio Code (VSCode) with the Deno extension installed (recommended).

Installation Steps

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd mcp-servers
   

2. Install Dependencies: Install the required dependencies by running:

   deno cache server.ts
   

Running the Server

Once the setup is complete, launch the MCP server with:

deno run -A server.ts

This command will start the server and integrate all tool sets for immediate development.

💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows

Let’s explore two use cases to demonstrate how these tools can be integrated into real-world AI workflows:

1. Text Processing: A natural language processing task might involve cleaning text, converting its case format, splitting it into parts, and then reconstructing it with a new delimiter—all streamlined through the Text Processing Tools.
2. API Integration for Data Retrieval: Use API integration tools to fetch weather data or news articles. For instance, by executing an HTTP request, developers can seamlessly retrieve weather forecasts, which could be integrated into chatbots, travel booking systems, or local information services.

📊 Performance & Compatibility Matrix

This section details how the MCP server performs under different environments and integrates with various software systems. The performance metrics highlight its efficiency in handling complex workflows while maintaining high standards of data integrity.

🛠️ Advanced Configuration & Security

Example MCP Client Configuration

Below is an example configuration for integrating this MCP server with a model context client, illustrating the setup required to enable tool usage:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "[server-name]": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-[name]"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Ensure to replace [server-name] and your-api-key with the actual values used in your setup.
