Using MCPO with MikroTik MCP Server

This guide shows how to expose your MikroTik MCP server as a RESTful API using MCPO (MCP-to-OpenAPI proxy).

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+
MikroTik MCP server already set up
uv package manager (recommended) or pip

Installation

Install MCPO using one of these methods:

# Option 1: Using uvx (recommended - no installation needed)
uvx mcpo --help

# Option 2: Using pip
pip install mcpo

Configuration

Create a mcp-config.json file in your project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-python-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "src/mcp_mikrotik/server.py",
        "--password", "admin",
        "--host", "192.168.1.1",
        "--port", "22",
        "--username", "admin"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Note: Adjust the MikroTik connection parameters (host, username, password, port) according to your setup.

Starting the MCPO Server

# Start MCPO with API key authentication
uvx mcpo --port 8000 --api-key "your-secret-key" --config ./mcp-config.json

# Or without authentication (not recommended for production)
uvx mcpo --port 8000 --config ./mcp-config.json

The server will start and display:

Server running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
Interactive API docs available at http://localhost:8000/docs

cURL Examples

List IP Addresses:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/my-python-server/mikrotik_list_ip_addresses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-secret-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
