Manage Financial Operations in Mifos X

Mifos MCP - Model Context Protocol (MCP)

This project provides Model Context Protocol (MCP) for the Mifos X Ecosystem, enabling AI agents to access financial data and operations.

Implementations are available in:

• Go (Native) - 102 typed tools (high-performance, cloud-native with SSE/Stdio).
• Java (Quarkus) - 38 typed tools (across Backoffice and Recommendations).
• Python (FastMCP) - 49 typed tools (modular domain-driven design).
• Rust - 89 typed tools (high-performance async I/O with exclusive bulk operations).

Architecture Overview

The Mifos MCP Server acts as a standalone, stateless integration tier that bridges any AI assistant or agent framework to the Apache Fineract banking backend.

This repository is framework-agnostic. The client (LLM brain, UI, memory) lives in a separate repository. Any MCP-compatible system can plug in.

Implementation Synchronization

While this repository hosts two different programming languages, they are kept in functional parity where possible to ensure a consistent experience.

How they "Sync":

1. Tool Specification: All implementations aim to expose the same core banking tools.
   • Go currently leads with 102 tools, featuring advanced cloud-native features and SSE.
   • Rust provides 89 tools, uniquely featuring high-concurrency Bulk Operations and robust "Fetch-and-Merge" state management.
   • Python provides 49 tools using a modular domain design.
   • Java provides 38 tools (21 for Backoffice operations and 17 for User Recommendations).
2. API Alignment: All implementations are built against the same Apache Fineract REST API. They share identical logic for field routing.
3. Stateless Parity: All implementations follow a strictly stateless design. None of the servers store user data, PII, or AI memory.
4. Testing Protocol: Shared "Smoke Tests" ensure that all implementations return identical, predictable JSON structures to the LLM.
