Installation¶

jena-mcp is a standard Python package and a prebuilt container image. Pick the path that matches how you want to run it.

Requirements¶

Python 3.11 – 3.14.
A reachable Apache Jena Fuseki server — see Backing Platform to deploy one locally.

From PyPI (recommended)¶

pip install jena-mcp

Optional extras¶

The base install is intentionally minimal. Install the extra for what you need:

Extra	Install	Pulls in
`mcp`	`pip install "jena-mcp[mcp]"`	FastMCP MCP-server runtime (`agent-utilities[mcp]`)
`agent`	`pip install "jena-mcp[agent]"`	Pydantic-AI agent server + Logfire tracing
`all`	`pip install "jena-mcp[all]"`	The MCP server, the agent server, and tracing
`test`	`pip install "jena-mcp[test]"`	`pytest`, `pytest-asyncio`, `pytest-cov`, `pytest-xdist`

# Typical: run both the MCP server and the A2A agent server
pip install "jena-mcp[all]"

From source¶

git clone https://github.com/Knuckles-Team/jena-mcp.git
cd jena-mcp
pip install -e ".[all]"          # editable install with every extra

With uv:

uv pip install -e ".[all]"
uv run jena-mcp

Prebuilt Docker image¶

A multi-stage, slim image is published on every release (installs jena-mcp[all], entrypoint jena-mcp):

docker pull knucklessg1/jena-mcp:latest

docker run --rm -i \
  -e JENA_FUSEKI_URL=http://your-fuseki:3030 \
  -e JENA_USERNAME=admin \
  -e JENA_PASSWORD=admin \
  knucklessg1/jena-mcp:latest          # stdio transport (default)

For an HTTP server with a published port, see Deployment.

Verify the install¶

jena-mcp --help
python -c "import jena_mcp; print(jena_mcp.__version__)"

Next steps¶

Deployment — run it as a long-lived MCP server (and agent server) behind Caddy + DNS.
Usage — call the tools, the JenaApi client, and the CLI.
Configuration — every environment variable.
