Summary

Implement a hello world MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration for the RBAC service as a proof of concept.

Details

The MCP server should be integrated using the FastMCP https://gofastmcp.com/getting-started/welcome

Key requirements:

• The MCP server must be stateless to prevent routing issues related to multiple replicas.
• The transport protocol must be HTTP Transport (Streamable).
• The MCP server must be available at the /mcp route, which is the standard for MCP servers.

This stateless approach has been tested in isolation but not yet integrated into the RBAC service.

Approach

Option A (preferred): Create a standalone MCP server using FastMCP, which provides a server out of the box, running on a separate port. 

Option B (alternative): Integrate the MCP server directly into the existing Django application, served at the /mcp route.

Acceptance Criteria

• A hello world MCP tool is registered and discoverable via the /mcp endpoint.
• The MCP server uses HTTP Transport (Streamable).
• The MCP server is stateless (no session affinity required).
• A decision is documented on whether to proceed with Option A or Option B for subsequent work.
