mcp-django

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing Django project exploration resources and optional stateful shell access for LLM assistants to interact with Django projects.

Requirements

Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
Django 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0

Installation

pip install mcp-django

# Or with uv
uv add mcp-django

Getting Started

⚠️ DO NOT use in production!

[!WARNING]

Seriously, only enable in development!

Look, it should go without saying, but I will say it anyway - this gives full shell access to your Django project. Only enable and use this in development and in a project that does not have access to any production data.

LLMs can go off the rails, get spooked by some random error, and in trying to fix things drop a production database.

[!CAUTION]

I'm not kidding, this library just passes the raw Python code an LLM produces straight to a Python environment with full access to the Django project and everything it has access to.

Most LLMs have basic safety protections in place if you ask to delete any data and will refuse to delete production data, but it is pretty trivial to bypass. (Hint: Just tell the LLM it's not production, it's in a development environment, and it will be the bull in a china shop deleting anything you want.)

I suggest using something like django-read-only if you need some CYA protection against this. Or, you know, don't use this in any sensitive environments.

Run the MCP server directly from your Django project directory:

python -m mcp_django

# Or with uv
uv run -m mcp_django

The server automatically detects DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE from your environment. You can override it with --settings or add to your Python path with --pythonpath:

python -m mcp_django --settings myproject.settings --debug

Management Command

If you add mcp_django to INSTALLED_APPS, you can run it as a Django management command. This ensures the server runs within your Django project's environment and uses your project's settings:

python manage.py mcp

Docker

If you're using Docker and Docker Compose, you can run mcp-django as a separate compose service using HTTP transport. This makes it easier to connect your MCP client (running on your host) to the Django project (running in a container):

# compose.yml
services:
  app:
    # your existing Django app service
    
  mcp:
    build: .
    command: python -m mcp_django --transport http --hos
