🌟 What is DragonMCP?

DragonMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to bridge the gap between AI Agents and local life services in Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong) and Asia.

It aims to solve the "last mile" problem between AI Agents and real-world services.

🔥 Live Demo: MTR Real-time Schedule

We have implemented the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) Query Tool as our first MVP. AI Agents can now fetch real-time train schedules directly from MTR's Open API.

Scenario:

User: "When is the next train from Admiralty to Central?"

Agent Response:

"Next Island Line train from Admiralty to Central (towards Kennedy Town):

• Arriving in: 2 min(s) (10:30:00)
• Subsequent trains: 5 min(s) (10:33:00)"

(Try it yourself by connecting DragonMCP to your MCP client!)

🏗️ Architecture

DragonMCP acts as a middleware between AI Agents and various local service APIs.

🗺️ Roadmap & Features

Phase 1: MVP (Current)

• Core Framework: Express + MCP SDK + TypeScript setup.
• Travel (MTR): Real-time schedule query for Island Line & Tsuen Wan Line.
• Food Delivery (Demo): Simulate ordering process (Search Shop -> Menu -> Cart).
• Basic Config: Environment variables & project structure.

Phase 2: Expansion

• Payment Integration: WeChat Pay / Alipay (Sandbox/QR Code generation).
• More Transport: High Speed Rail (12306) ticket check, Didi/Uber estimation.
• E-commerce: Product search aggregation (Taobao/JD).
• Multi-region Support: Switch context between Mainland China / HK / SG.

Phase 3: Ecosystem

• Plugin System: Allow community to contribute individual service tools.
• User Auth: Secure user token management for personal services.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• npm or yarn

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/arthurpanhku/DragonMCP.git
   cd DragonMCP
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Configure environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env if necessary (MTR API requires no key currently)
   

Running the Server

Start the development server with SSE support:

npm run server:dev

The server will start at http://localhost:3000. SSE Endpoint: http://localhost:3000/mcp/sse

Connect to Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "DragonMCP": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/DragonMCP/api/dist/index.js"], 
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}

(Note: For local dev, you might need to build first or point to the ts-node wrapper)

🧪 Testing

Run unit and integration tests:

# Enable experimental VM modules for Jest (ESM support)
NODE_OPTIONS="$NODE_OPTIONS --experimental-vm-modules" npm test

🤝 Contributing

We welcome all contributions! Whether you are a developer, designer, or product thinker.

We need help with:

1. Playwright Scripts: Simulating food delivery apps (Meituan/Ele.me) web flows.
2. More MTR Lines: Adding station data for East Rail Line, Tuen Ma Line, etc.
3. Docs: Translating docs to other languages.

See CONTRIBUTING.md (Coming Soon) for details.
