mimory-mcp-focus-langchainjs

A focus-enforcing wrapper for LangChain MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients that allows you to restrict which tools and parameters can be used by AI agents, providing enhanced security and control over MCP tool access.

Features

• Tool Restriction: Limit which MCP tools are available to your AI agents
• Parameter Validation: Restrict parameter values using simple patterns or ranges
• Multi-Server Support: Manage focus configurations across multiple MCP servers
• LangChain Integration: Seamless integration with LangChain's MCP adapters
• TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript definitions for better development experience
• Flexible Configuration: Support for both simple and composite focus patterns

Installation

npm install mimory-mcp-focus-langchainjs

Peer Dependencies

This package requires the following peer dependencies:

npm install @langchain/mcp-adapters @mimory/mim-mcp-focus-js

Quick Start

import { FocusMultiServerMCPClient } from 'mimory-mcp-focus-langchainjs';

// Define MCP server connections
const connections = {
  everything: {
    transport: "stdio",
    command: "npx",
    args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
  }
};

// Configure focus restrictions
const focusConfigs = {
  everything: {
    focusTools: ["echo"], // Only allow echo tool
    focusParams: {
      message: ["hello", "world", "test"] // Restrict message values
    },
    focusType: "simple",
    strict: false
  }
};

// Create focus-enabled client
const client = new FocusMultiServerMCPClient(connections, focusConfigs);

// Get restricted tools
const tools = await client.getTools();
console.log("Available tools:", tools);

Focus Configuration Patterns

Simple Focus

Simple focus allows you to restrict tools and parameters across all tools:

const focusConfig = {
  focusTools: ["tool1", "tool2"],
  focusParams: {
    param1: ["value1", "value2"],
    param2: ["range:1-100"]
  },
  focusType: "simple",
  strict: false
};

Composite Focus

Composite focus allows different restrictions per tool:

const focusConfig = {
  focus: {
    tool1: {
      param1: ["value1", "value2"],
      param2: ["range:1-10"]
    },
    tool2: {
      param3: ["value3", "value4"]
    }
  },
  focusType: "composite",
  strict: true
};

  focusParams?: Record<string, FocusParams>,
  strict: boolean = false

Examples

Basic Tool Restriction

import { FocusMultiServerMCPClient } from 'mimory-mcp-focus-langchainjs';

const connections = {
  everything: {
    transport: "stdio",
    command: "npx",
    args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
  }
};

const focusConfigs = {
  everything: {
    focusTools: ["echo"],
    focusParams: {
      message: ["hello", "world", "test"]
    },
    focusType: "simple",
    strict: false
  }
};

const client = new FocusMultiServerMCPClient(connections, focusConfigs);
const tools = await client.getTools();

// Use tools with LangChain agents
const tool = tools[0];
const result = await tool.invoke({ message: "hello" });

Multi-Server Setup

const connections = {
  everything: {
    transport: "stdio",
    command: "npx",
    args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
  },
  time: {
    transport: "stdio",
    command: "python",
    args: ["-m", "mcp_server_time"]
  }
};

const focusConfigs = {
  everything: {
    focus: {
      echo: {
        message: ["hello", "world", "composite", "focus"]
      },
      add: {
        a: ["range:1-5"],
        b: ["range:1-5"]
      }
    },
    focusType: "composite",
    strict: false
  },
  time: {
    focusTools: ["get_current_time"],
    focusParams: {
      timezone: ["America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo"]
    },
    focusType: "simple",
    strict: false
  }
};

const client = new FocusMultiServerMCPClient(connections, focusConfigs);

Using with LangChain Agents

import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { createReactAgent } from "@langchain/core/agents";
import { FocusMultiServerMCPClient } from 'mimory-mcp-focus-langchainjs';

// Create focus-enabled client
const client = new FocusMultiServerMCPClient(connections, focusConfigs);
const tools = await client.getTools();

// Create LangChain agent with restricted tools
const model = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-4" });
const agent = await createReactAgent({
  llm: model,
  tools,
  messagesPlaceholder: "You are a helpful assistant with access to restricted tools."
});

// Use the agent
const result = await agent.invoke({
  input: "Echo the message 'hello'"
});

Supported MCP Servers

Everything MCP Server

A test server that implements various MCP features:

Setup:

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything@latest

Available Tools:

• echo: Echo back input messages
• add: Add two numbers together

Time MCP Server

Provides time and timezone conversion capabilities:

Setup:

pip install mcp-server-time

Available Tools:

• get_current_time: Get current time in a specific timezone
• convert_time: Convert time between timezones

Error Handling

The library provides comprehensive error handling for focus-related issues:

try {
  const result = await tool.invoke({ message: "forbidden" });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.name === 'FocusError') {
    console.log('Focus restriction violated:', error.message);
  } else {
    console.log('Other error:', error.message);
  }
}

Configuration Options

FocusConfig Interface

interface FocusConfig {
  focusTools?: FocusTools;           // Allowed tools
  focusParams?: FocusParams;         // Parameter restrictions
  focus?: FocusComposite;            // Composite focus configuration
  focusType?: 'simple' | 'composite'; // Focus type
  strict?: boolean;                  // Strict mode enforcement
}

Parameter Value Patterns

• Exact values: ["value1", "value2"]
• Ranges: ["range:1-100"] for numeric ranges
• Wildcards: ["*"] to allow all values
