Description

This PR adds Django REST Framework MCP to the Third-Party Servers section of the official MCP servers repository. This is a new external server addition, not a modification to existing reference servers.

Server Details

  • Server: Django REST Framework MCP (new third-party server)
  • Changes to: Adding new entry to README.md Third-Party Servers list

Motivation and Context

Django REST Framework is one of the most popular Python web frameworks. This library allows Django developers to spin up an MCP Server to expose their existing REST APIs as MCP tools with just a few lines of code.

The library addresses the common need for AI agents to interact with existing Django REST APIs by:

  • Automatically generating tool schema from Django serializers
  • Preserving existing authentication, permissions, and filtering logic
  • Returning human readable error messages that guide LLMs on how to most effectively use the tools

How Has This Been Tested?

  • I've built a personal application with this library and it works great with both Claude Desktop MCP Client and my own homerolled React MCP Client
  • The library includes a demo Blog Django application that demonstrates the integration working with real ViewSets and database operations.

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes - this is a new server addition to the docs that doesn't affect functionality.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Checklist

  • I have read the MCP Protocol Documentation
  • My changes follows MCP security best practices
  • I have updated the server's README accordingly
  • I have tested this with an LLM client
  • My code follows the repository's style guidelines
  • New and existing tests pass locally N/A
  • I have added appropriate error handling
  • I have documented all environment variables and configuration options

Additional context

Django REST Framework MCP enables developers to expose Django REST Framework APIs as MCP tools for LLMs and agentic applications. It provides automatic tool generation from ViewSets with a simple decorator-based API, preserving existing permissions, authentication, and filtering while returning context-rich error messages to guide LLMs.

Hi @zacharypodbela , double checking that this should go into official integrations, or should it go into the community servers section instead?

Hi @zacharypodbela , I'm going to close this since there haven't been any updates in a while, and I think this should go into the Community section. Please feel free to reopen if you get a chance to update that. Thanks!
