Dental Clinic Loan Verification — FastMCP Server

Provider-Agnostic LLM · Local (Slingshot) → Cloud (Horizon)

Switch LLM Provider — Zero Code Changes

# Use Anthropic Claude (default)
LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Use Google Gemini
LLM_PROVIDER=google
GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIza...

Phase 1 — Local Dev with VS Code / Slingshot

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env   # add your API key

.vscode/mcp.json is already in the project — VS Code and Slingshot auto-discover it. Open the folder in VS Code and the tools appear automatically in agent mode.

To switch to Gemini in VS Code, edit .vscode/mcp.json:

"env": { "LLM_PROVIDER": "google", "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "${env:GOOGLE_API_KEY}" }

python demo.py        # end-to-end demo
mcp dev server.py     # browser tool inspector

Phase 2 — Cloud Deploy on Horizon

# 1. Push to GitHub (.env in .gitignore)
git add server.py llm_tools.py llm_client.py requirements.txt .vscode/mcp.json
git push

# 2. Connect repo at https://horizon.prefect.io
#    Horizon auto-detects requirements.txt

# 3. Set secrets in Horizon dashboard:
#    LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
#    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# 4. Get live URL: https://dental-loan-verifier.fastmcp.app/mcp

Switch Slingshot from local → cloud by updating .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "dental-loan-verifier": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dental-loan-verifier.fastmcp.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zero code changes between local and cloud.
