> **Enabling MQTT integration for MCP clients with embedded broker support and fractal agent orchestration**
## ✨ What Makes This SEXY AF
- 🔥 **FastMCP Integration**: Native Model Context Protocol server with MQTT tools
-**Embedded MQTT Brokers**: Spawn brokers on-demand with zero configuration
- 🏗️ **Modular Architecture**: Clean, testable, maintainable codebase
- 🧪 **Comprehensive Testing**: 70+ tests with 96%+ coverage on core modules
- 🌐 **Cross-Platform**: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
- 🔧 **CLI & Programmatic**: Use via command line or integrate into your code
- 📡 **Real-time Coordination**: Perfect for agent swarms and distributed systems
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install mcmqtt
# Or use uv (recommended)
uv add mcmqtt
# Or install directly with uvx
uvx mcmqtt --help
```
### Instant MQTT Magic
```bash
# Start FastMCP MQTT server with embedded broker
mcmqtt --transport stdio --auto-broker
# HTTP mode for web integration
mcmqtt --transport http --port 8080 --auto-broker
# Connect to existing broker
mcmqtt --mqtt-host mqtt.example.com --mqtt-port 1883
```
### MCP Integration
Add to your Claude Code MCP configuration:
```bash
# Add mcmqtt as an MCP server
claude mcp add task-buzz "uvx mcmqtt --broker mqtt://localhost:1883"
# Test the connection
claude mcp test task-buzz
```
## 🛠️ Core Features
### 🏃‍♂️ FastMCP MQTT Tools
- `mqtt_connect` - Connect to MQTT brokers
- `mqtt_publish` - Publish messages with QoS support
- `mqtt_subscribe` - Subscribe to topics with wildcards
- `mqtt_get_messages` - Retrieve received messages
- `mqtt_status` - Get connection and statistics
- `mqtt_spawn_broker` - Create embedded brokers instantly
- `mqtt_list_brokers` - Manage multiple brokers
### 🔧 Embedded Broker Management
```python
from mcmqtt.broker import BrokerManager
# Spawn a broker programmatically
manager = BrokerManager()
broker_info = await manager.spawn_broker(
name="my-broker",
port=1883,
max_connections=100
)
print(f"Broker running at: {broker_info.url}")
```
### 📡 MQTT Client Integration
```python
from mcmqtt.mqtt import MQTTClient
from mcmqtt.mqtt.types import MQTTConfig
config = MQTTConfig(
broker_host="localhost",
broker_port=1883,
client_id="my-client"
)
client = MQTTClient(config)
await client.connect()
await client.publish("sensors/temperature", "23.5")
```
## 🏗️ Architecture Excellence
This isn't your typical monolithic MQTT library. mcmqtt features a **clean modular architecture**:
```
mcmqtt/
├── cli/ # Command-line interface & argument parsing
├── config/ # Environment & configuration management
├── logging/ # Structured logging setup
├── server/ # STDIO & HTTP server runners
├── mqtt/ # Core MQTT client functionality
├── mcp/ # FastMCP server integration
├── broker/ # Embedded broker management
└── middleware/ # Broker middleware & orchestration
```
### 🧪 Testing Excellence
- **70+ comprehensive tests** covering all modules
- **96%+ code coverage** on refactored components
- **Robust mocking** for reliable CI/CD
- **Edge case coverage** for production reliability
## 🌟 Use Cases
### 🤖 AI Agent Coordination
Perfect for coordinating Claude Code subagents via MQTT:
```bash
# Parent agent publishes tasks
mcmqtt-publish --topic "agents/tasks" --payload '{"task": "analyze_data", "agent_id": "worker-1"}'
# Worker agents subscribe and respond
mcmqtt-subscribe --topic "agents/tasks" --callback process_task
```
### 📊 IoT Data Collection
```bash
# Collect sensor data
mcmqtt-subscribe --topic "sensors/+/temperature" --format json
# Forward to analytics
mcmqtt-publish --topic "analytics/temperature" --payload "$sensor_data"
```
### 🔄 Microservice Communication
```bash
# Service mesh communication
mcmqtt --mqtt-host service-mesh.local --client-id user-service
```
## ⚙️ Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
export MQTT_BROKER_HOST=localhost
export MQTT_BROKER_PORT=1883
export MQTT_CLIENT_ID=my-client
export MQTT_USERNAME=user
export MQTT_PASSWORD=secret
export MQTT_USE_TLS=true
```
### Command Line Options
```bash
mcmqtt --help
Options:
--transport [stdio|http] Server transport mode
--mqtt-host TEXT MQTT broker hostname
--mqtt-port INTEGER MQTT broker port
--mqtt-client-id TEXT MQTT client identifier
--auto-broker Spawn embedded broker
--log-level [DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR]
--log-file PATH Log to file
```
