Overview

Higress OPS MCP Server enables configuration/management of Higress via MCP, using LangGraph/LangChain for agent flow, with tools for routes, services, and request blocking.

The Higress OPS MCP Server offers a balance between functionality and security. The requirement for human confirmation for sensitive tools mitigates some risks, but the potential for misconfiguration through API calls remains a concern. Secure handling of environment variables is crucial to prevent unauthorized access.

Performance depends on the Higress API and network latency. Consider caching frequently accessed data to improve performance.

Cost depends on the frequency of API calls to the Higress Console API. Monitor API usage to avoid unexpected costs.

Known Risks

!Potential for unauthorized access if environment variables are compromised.
!Risk of misconfiguration leading to service disruption.
!Lack of fine-grained access control beyond sensitive tool confirmation.
!Vulnerability to API changes in the Higress Console API if utils/higress_client.py is not updated.

Safety Score

moderate risk

Positive

+Human confirmation required for sensitive tools.
+Clear separation of read and write operations.
+Uses environment variables for configuration.
+Well-defined tool registration process.

Risks

-Direct interaction with Higress Console API.
-Potential for misconfiguration via API calls.
-Lack of explicit RBAC beyond sensitive tool confirmation.
-Environment variables could expose secrets if not handled correctly.

Use Cases

Configuration Management

-Automating route creation and updates.
-Managing service sources for Higress.
-Centralized configuration of request blocking plugins.

Infrastructure Automation

-Integrating Higress configuration into CI/CD pipelines.
-Automating deployment and rollback of Higress configurations.
-Programmatically managing Higress resources.

Security Automation

-Automating updates to request blocking rules.

Who Is This For?

Best For

Automating Higress configuration management.
Integrating Higress into CI/CD pipelines.
Programmatically managing Higress resources.
Security teams automating security policy enforcement.

Not Ideal For

Environments requiring strict RBAC.
Scenarios where human intervention is not possible.
Organizations without experience managing Higress.

Autonomy & Execution

Default ModeConfigurable

Destructive Tools

Autonomy is limited by the need for human confirmation for sensitive tools. The level of autonomy can be configured by adjusting the SENSITIVE_TOOLS list.

StatelessYes

Retry LogicNot documented

ConcurrencyNot documented

Production Tip

Implement robust error handling and monitoring to detect and respond to configuration issues in production.

FAQ

How do I add a new tool to the MCP server?

Create a new tool class, add methods to HigressClient if needed, register the tool class in server.py, and add the tool to SENSITIVE_TOOLS if required.

What are the security considerations when using this MCP server?

Ensure environment variables are securely managed, monitor API usage, and carefully review changes made by sensitive tools.

How can I configure the MCP client to interact with the server?

Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and fill in the corresponding values.

What happens if a tool is in the SENSITIVE_TOOLS list?

Tools in this list will require human confirmation before execution.

How do I handle errors when calling the Higress API?

The Higress API client raises exceptions that should be caught and handled appropriately.

Can I use this MCP server to manage multiple Higress instances?

This depends on how the HigressClient is configured and whether it can handle multiple instances. The documentation doesn't explicitly address this.

Is there support for rolling back changes made by the MCP server?

No, rollback support is not explicitly mentioned or implemented.
