MCP Tools¶

DAAS ships one consolidated MCP server - fd-daas-mcp - as the sole entry in repo-root .mcp.json. It hosts 8 tool groups behind one stdio server and one fd-daas-mcp Click CLI. Tools register as <group>_<tool> (e.g. daas_search_entities, research_create, pdf_ingest_document).

Why one server¶

Server and CLI both consume daas/fd_daas_mcp/registry.py (registry.build()), so the two surfaces cannot drift. Each group's tool code lives in-package at fd-daas-mcp/<group>-mcp/; the thin consolidation layer is fd-daas-mcp/daas/fd_daas_mcp/ (server.py / registry.py / cli.py / selfcheck.py).

Launch¶

.mcp.json points command at fd-daas-mcp/bin/fd-daas-mcp-server, a self-locating POSIX shell script that sets PYTHONPATH and execs .venv/bin/python -m fd_daas_mcp.server.

fd-daas-mcp/bin/fd-daas-mcp-server             # launch the server
fd-daas-mcp/.venv/bin/python -m fd_daas_mcp.selfcheck   # offline invariants

The 8 groups¶

Group	Prefix	Covers
`daas`	`daas_*`	Entity/datasource/indicator/catalog browsing, collections, rules, calc.
`research`	`research_*`	Research bundle create/get/list/update/delete/refresh/report + components.
`dashboard`	`dashboard_*`	Standalone-HTML dashboard registry CRUD + index regen.
`cron`	`cron_*`	DB-stored tasks + schedules + execution history.
`alerts`	`alerts_*`	Alert rules, channels, series, events over `observations`/`scraw_*`.
`leader`	`leader_*`	CrewAI DataCrew + specialist agents + workflows + registry.
`pdf`	`pdf_*`	Local PDF/text vector search (sqlite-vec). Optional - gated on `sqlite-vec`.
`composite`	`composite_*`	Compose multiple upstream MCP servers + chained tool pipelines.

See Tool Groups for the per-group tool lists.

Skills vs. MCP

Skills and MCP tools share one daas.db. Skills are simpler/offline; the MCP server is richer (scheduling, alerts, orchestration, search). Use either.

Not removed¶

The cron / alerts / leader / composite groups are not removed - they are folded into fd-daas-mcp as <group>_<tool>. The dropped scrapling / firecrawl / massive MCP groups and the per-source mcp__* tools are gone; do not reference them.
