Django Migrations MCP Service
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) service for managing Django migrations in distributed environments. This service wraps Django’s migration commands and exposes them as MCP endpoints, making it easy to manage migrations across multiple services and integrate with CI/CD pipelines.
Features
- Check migration status (equivalent to
showmigrations) - Create new migrations with validation (equivalent to
makemigrations) - Apply migrations with safety checks (equivalent to
migrate) - Additional validation and safety checks:
- Sequential migration order verification
- Conflict detection
- Dependency validation
- Safety analysis of migration operations
Installation
Local Development
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/mrrobotke/django-migrations-mcp.git
cd django-migrations-mcp
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
Set the following environment variables:
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="your_project.settings"
export MCP_SERVICE_PORT=8000 # Optional, defaults to 8000
Usage
Running the Service
- Directly with Python:
python -m migrations_mcp.service
- Using Docker:
docker build -t django-migrations-mcp .
docker run -e DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=your_project.settings
-v /path/to/your/django/project:/app/project
-p 8000:8000
django-migrations-mcp
MCP Endpoints
- Show Migrations:
from mcp import MCPClient
client = MCPClient()
migrations = await client.call("show_migrations")
- Make Migrations:
result = await client.call("make_migrations", {
"app_labels": ["myapp"], # Optional
"dry_run": True # Optional
})
- Apply Migrations:
result = await client.call("migrate", {
"app_label": "myapp", # Optional
"migration_name": "0001", # Optional
"fake": False, # Optional
"plan": True # Optional
})
CI/CD Integration
Example GitHub Actions workflow:
name: Django Migrations Check
on:
pull_request:
paths:
- '*/migrations/*.py'
- '*/models.py'
jobs:
check-migrations:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: '3.11'
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
pip install -r requirements.txt
- name: Start MCP service
run: |
python -m migrations_mcp.service &
- name: Check migrations
run: |
python ci/check_migrations.py
Example check_migrations.py script:
import asyncio
from mcp import MCPClient
async def check_migrations():
client = MCPClient()
# Check current status
migrations = await client.call("show_migrations")
# Try making migrations
result = await client.call("make_migrations", {"dry_run": True})
if not result.success:
print(f"Error: {result.message}")
exit(1)
print("Migration check passed!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(check_migrations())

Using the Commands Programmatically
You can parse and use the commands programmatically:
import json
import subprocess
# Load commands
with open('docker-commands.json') as f:
commands = json.load(f)
# Run Redis MCP server
redis_config = commands['mcpServers']['redis']
subprocess.run([redis_config['command']] + redis_config['args'])
# Run Django Migrations MCP server
django_config = commands['mcpServers']['djangoMigrations']
subprocess.run([django_config['command']] + django_config['args'])
Network Setup
- Development Network
docker network create mcp-dev-network
- Production Network
docker network create --driver overlay --attachable mcp-prod-network
Using MCP Tools
The service exposes several endpoints that can be accessed via curl or any HTTP client:
- Show Migrations
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"method": "show_migrations"}'
- Make Migrations
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"method": "make_migrations", "params": {"apps": ["your_app"]}}'
- Apply Migrations
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"method": "migrate", "params": {"app": "your_app"}}'
