# QR Code MCP Server
|
|
|
|
A minimal Python MCP server that generates customizable QR codes with an interactive widget UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## MCP Client Configuration
|
|
|
|
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"qr": {
|
|
"command": "uv",
|
|
"args": ["run", "/path/to/qr-server/server.py", "--stdio"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Generate QR codes from any text or URL
|
|
- Customizable colors, size, and error correction
|
|
- Interactive widget that displays in MCP-UI enabled clients
|
|
- Supports both HTTP (for web clients) and stdio (for MCP clients)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
This server uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management. Install it first:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run server (HTTP mode) - uv handles dependencies automatically
|
|
uv run server.py
|
|
# → QR Code Server listening on http://localhost:3108/mcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### HTTP Mode (for basic-host / web clients)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run server.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Connect from basic-host:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SERVERS='["http://localhost:3108/mcp"]' bun serve.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stdio Mode (for MCP clients)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run server.py --stdio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [MCP Client Configuration](#mcp-client-configuration) above for how to add this server to your MCP client.
|
|
|
|
### Docker (accessing host server from container)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http://host.docker.internal:3108/mcp
|
|
```
|
|
|

### Example Inputs
|
|
|
|
**Basic:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "text": "https://example.com" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Styled:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"text": "https://claude.ai",
|
|
"fill_color": "#CC785C",
|
|
"back_color": "#FFF8F5",
|
|
"box_size": 12,
|
|
"border": 3
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Dark Mode:**
|
|
|

|
|
"error_correction": "H",
|
|
"box_size": 10
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
qr-server/
|
|
├── server.py # MCP server (FastMCP + uvicorn, deps inline via PEP 723)
|
|
├── widget.html # Interactive UI widget
|
|
└── README.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Protocol
|
|
|
|
The widget uses MCP Apps SDK protocol:
|
|
|
|
1. Widget sends `ui/initialize` request
|
|
2. Host responds with capabilities
|
|
3. Widget sends `ui/notifications/initialized`
|
|
4. Host sends `ui/notifications/tool-result` with QR image
|
|
5. Widget renders image and sends `ui/notifications/size-changed`
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Dependencies are declared inline in `server.py` using [PEP 723](https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/) and managed by [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):
|
|
|
|
- `mcp` - MCP Python SDK with FastMCP
|
|
- `qrcode[pil]` - QR code generation with Pillow
|
|
- `uvicorn` - ASGI server
|
|
- `starlette` - CORS middleware
