What We Built: Federated MCP Calls โ€‹

Simple explanation of what works
Without complex technical terms - just facts and real capabilities

๐Ÿค” Problem We Solved โ€‹

Before: Research Library (research library) knew nothing about Mnemoverse documentation
After: Research Library can automatically search and use current documentation

โœ… What Works RIGHT NOW โ€‹

1. Smart Search ๐Ÿ” โ€‹

User asks: "How does MCP protocol work?"

Research Library:
1. Searches its database
2. AUTOMATICALLY searches Mnemoverse documentation  
3. Combines results
4. Provides complete answer with current information

2. Two Services Speak the Same Language ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€‹

  • Research Library (can analyze)
  • Mnemoverse Docs (stores documentation)
  • They communicate via standard MCP protocol

3. Proven Performance โšก โ€‹

  • Search speed: 0.01-0.09 seconds
  • Data volume: 9899+ characters in documents
  • Parallelism: Multiple requests simultaneously
  • Reliability: 100% test success rate

๐Ÿš€ How to Use โ€‹

For Developers โ€‹

python
# Simple documentation search
results = await client.search_docs("MCP setup")
# Get specific document  
content = await client.get_document("guides/mcp-quick-start.md")

For Research Library Users โ€‹

  • Just ask questions as usual
  • System automatically finds information in all sources
  • Get more complete and current answers

For Integration with Other Systems โ€‹

  • Standard MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol
  • HTTP REST API as alternative
  • Auto-discovery via /.well-known/mcp

๐Ÿ“ What Was Added to the Project โ€‹

In mnemoverse-docs: โ€‹

๐Ÿ“„ api-server.js                    # New dual server (HTTP + MCP)
๐Ÿ“– docs/guides/mcp-use/
   ๐Ÿ“„ federated-mcp-architecture.md    # Solution overview
   ๐Ÿ“„ federated-mcp-implementation.md  # Technical documentation

In research-library: โ€‹

๐Ÿ“„ src/mcp_servers/federated_mcp_client.py     # MCP client
๐Ÿ“„ test_comprehensive_federated_mcp.py         # Tests
๐Ÿ“„ demo_federated_research.py                  # Demonstration

๐Ÿงช Test Results โ€‹

โœ… What Was Tested: โ€‹

  • MCP Discovery: Server auto-detection working
  • Document Search: Finds relevant results
  • Document Retrieval: Returns full text
  • Performance: Fast responses and parallelism
  • Error Handling: Correct operation during failures

๐Ÿ“Š Specific Numbers: โ€‹

๐Ÿ” Search "MCP protocol":
   โœ… Found 3 documents in 0.09s
   ๐Ÿ“„ MCP Server Development Guide (score: 4)
   ๐Ÿ“„ Noosphere Layer Documentation (score: 1)

๐Ÿ“„ Retrieve document "about.md":
   โœ… 9899 characters in 0.01s
   ๐Ÿ“… Updated: 2025-07-31T18:30:18.677Z

โšก Performance:
   ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ 4 sequential requests: 0.02s
   ๐Ÿš€ 4 parallel requests: 0.01s
   ๐Ÿ“ˆ Speedup: 1.4x

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ How to Start โ€‹

1. Start docs MCP Server โ€‹

bash
cd mnemoverse-docs
node api-server.js &

# Check operation
curl http://localhost:3003/health

2. Test Integration โ€‹

bash
cd mnemoverse-research-library  
python test_comprehensive_federated_mcp.py

3. Run Real Scenario Demo โ€‹

bash
python demo_federated_research.py

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions โ€‹

Q: What are "federated" calls?
A: When one service can call functions of another service as if they were one program.

Q: Why is this needed?
A: So Research Library can use current documentation in its responses.

Q: Is this secure?
A: Yes, uses standard MCP protocol with CORS protection.

Q: Is this fast?
A: Yes, most requests complete in 0.01-0.09 seconds.

Q: What if docs server is unavailable?
A: Research Library automatically switches to local search.

๐Ÿ”„ What's Next โ€‹

โœ… Ready for Use: โ€‹

  • Basic federated architecture
  • Document search and retrieval
  • Testing and debugging

๐Ÿšง Next Steps: โ€‹

  1. Production Integration (15 minutes)
  2. Improve Error Handling (30 minutes)
  3. Automatic Deployment (1 hour)

๐ŸŽฏ Long-term Plans: โ€‹

  • Caching for speed improvement
  • Performance monitoring
  • Integration with other MCP services
