🌟 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!)

🛠️ Supported Services (Beta)

We are actively expanding our support for local services. Below are the currently integrated interfaces (some are mocks/placeholders for development):

| Region | Category | Service | Tool Name | Description | Status | | :----------------- | :------------ | :------------------- | :----------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | :----- | | Greater China | Travel | MTR (HK) | search_mtr_schedule | Real-time train schedule (Island/Tsuen Wan Line) | ✅ Live | | | | Amap (Gaode) | amap_search_poi | Search for POIs (Restaurants, Hotels, etc.) | ✅ Live | | | | Amap (Gaode) | amap_walking_direction | Walking route planning | ✅ Live | | | | Amap (Gaode) | amap_driving_direction | Driving route planning (Fastest) | ✅ Live | | | | Amap (Gaode) | amap_transit_direction | Public transit route planning (Integrated) | ✅ Live | | | Weather | HK Observatory | hk_weather_current | Current weather report in Hong Kong | ✅ Live | | | Travel | Didi | book_taxi_didi | Estimate price and book a ride | 🚧 Mock | | | Payment | WeChat Pay | wechat_pay_create | Create payment order | 🚧 Mock | | | | Alipay | alipay_pay_create | Create payment order | 🚧 Mock | | | Lifestyle | Meituan | meituan_search_food | Search for food delivery | 🚧 Mock | | | Shopping | Taobao | taobao_search_product | Search for products | 🚧 Mock | | Asia Expansion | Travel | Grab (SG/SEA) | book_ride_grab | Estimate and book a ride | 🚧 Mock | | | | Naver Maps (KR) | naver_map_search | Search for places in Korea | 🚧 Mock | | | Payment | LINE Pay (JP/TW) | line_pay_request | Request a payment | 🚧 Mock |

⚠️ Security & Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: This project includes Mock implementations for sensitive services like payments (WeChat Pay, Alipay) and ride-hailing (Didi).

• Do NOT use real financial data or personal credentials in the current version.
• The payment tools (wechat_pay_create, alipay_pay_create) currently return fake data for demonstration purposes only. No actual money is transferred.
• When integrating real APIs in the future, ensure you follow strict security protocols (OAuth, HTTPS, Token Management).

🏗️ Architecture

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

🗺️ Roadmap & Features

Phase 1: MVP (Current)

• [x] Core Framework: Express + MCP SDK + TypeScript setup.
• [x] Travel (MTR): Real-time schedule query for Island Line & Tsuen Wan Line.
• [x] Travel (Amap): POI search and walking directions.
• [x] Service Mocks: Basic structure for WeChat/Alipay/Didi/Meituan/Taobao.
• [ ] Food Delivery (Demo): Simulate ordering process (Search Shop -> Menu -> Cart).
• [ ] Basic Config: Environment variables & project structure.

Phase 2: Asia Expansion (New!)

• [x] Structure Setup: Service directories for Singapore (Grab), Japan (LINE), Korea (Naver).
• [x] Initial Mocks: Grab ride booking, LINE Pay request, Naver Map search.
• [ ] Real API Integration: Replace mocks with real APIs (Grab Developer, LINE Pay API).
• [ ] More Services: Kakao Pay (KR), Yahoo! Transit (JP), EZ-Link (SG).

Phase 3: Ecosystem

• [ ] Plugin System: Allow community to contribute individual service tools.

🚀 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 (AMAP_API_KEY required for map services)
   

Running the Server

Start the development server with SSE support:

npm run dev

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

Running with Docker

1. Build and start the container:

   docker-compose up -d --build
   

2. View logs:

   docker-compose logs -f
   

3. Stop the server:

   docker-compose down
   

Connect to Claude Desktop

1. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

2. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

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

   (Note: Replace /path/to/DragonMCP with your actual absolute path)

❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: Why do I get "Station not found" for MTR query?

A: Currently, only Island Line and Tsuen Wan Line are supported. Please check if the station name is spelled correctly (e.g., "Admiralty", "Central", "Mong Kok").

Q: How do I get an Amap (Gaode) API Key?

A: You need to register at the Amap Open Platform, create a "Web Service" application, and copy the Key to your .env file as AMAP_API_KEY.

Q: Can I use this for real payments?

A: No. The current payment tools are mocks. Do not use them for real transactions.

🧪 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. Real API Integration: Replacing mocks with real APIs for WeChat/Alipay/Didi.

See CONTRIBUTING.md (Coming Soon) for details.
