Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Hydra MCPCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Start the central server by running python ipc_server.py. Register client functions by sending a POST request to /register_functions with an endpoint name and function list. Then use the MCP tools (get_endpoints(), get_registered_functions(), call_function()) to discover and invoke functions from Claude.

This project implements a Hydra MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that enables Claude to interact with various client functions through a REST API interface. The system consists of a central server that coordinates communication between multiple clients and exposes their functions to Claude through a standardized API.
Project Structure
- ipc_server.py: The central FastAPI server that manages function registration and routing
- ipc_api.py: The Hydra MCP interface that exposes client functions to Claude
- fake_client.py: A sample client implementation for testing
- fake_claude.py: A test implementation of Claude's interface
Features
- Centralized function registry for multiple clients
- REST API endpoints for function discovery and invocation
- Standardized communication protocol between clients and Claude
- Easy-to-use function registration system
- Automatic function discovery and documentation
API Endpoints
Server Endpoints
- POST /register_functions: Register new functions from a client
- GET /get_functions: Retrieve the list of all registered functions
MCP Tools
- get_endpoints(): List all available endpoints
- get_registered_functions(endpoint): Get functions available at a specific endpoint
- call_function(endpoint, function_name, arguments): Call a specific function with arguments
Usage
1. Start the central server:
python ipc_server.py
2. Register client functions:
```python
