UBOS Asset Marketplace: Elevate Your LLMs with the MCP Server

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence, the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to access and interact with real-world data is paramount. Enter the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that’s revolutionizing how applications provide contextual information to these powerful AI engines. The UBOS Asset Marketplace now features a production-ready MCP Server, designed to bridge the gap between your LLMs and the vast universe of external data sources and tools. This server ensures that your AI agents are not just intelligent, but also informed and adaptable.

Deep Dive: Post Management API Explained

The included Post Management API serves as a practical example of how the MCP Server can be used. It provides a simple yet powerful interface for managing posts, complete with user authentication and comprehensive logging.

API Endpoints:

• /users/register: Register a new user.
• /users/login: Login and get an access token.
• /users/me: Get current user information.
• /posts:
  • GET: List all posts (paginated).
    • Query parameters: skip (default: 0), limit (default: 10, max: 100).
    • Returns: items, total, skip, limit.
  • POST: Create a new post (requires authentication).
• /posts/{id}:
  • GET: Get a specific post.
  • PUT: Update an existing post (requires authentication, owner only).
  • DELETE: Delete a post (requires authentication, owner only).

Authentication:

The API utilizes JWT for authentication. Register a new user, login to receive an access token, and include the token in subsequent requests using the Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token> header.

Logging:

Logs are stored in the logs directory with daily rotation, a 1MB file size limit, 5 backup files retained, and both file and console output. The logging system tracks request timing, CRUD operations, and authentication events.
