Python MCP Server Boilerplate Documentation
Step-by-step guides from "I just got access" to a paid API + MCP server, live on the internet. Written for builders who have never touched Django — and friendly to AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor.
One script brings up the full stack with Docker: API, MCP server, worker, database, and admin. No Python install needed.
Read 04Point your coding agent at the repo once, so every request after this one starts with it already knowing where endpoints go.
ReadDescribe a QR code generator to your AI assistant, check the four things that matter, reload, and use it from the live docs page.
Read 06Connect the boilerplate's MCP server to Claude Code with an API key and watch Claude call the endpoint you just built.
Read 07One decorator argument makes the endpoint paid: anonymous calls get refused, users get charged per call, and the ledger records everything.
ReadThe exact VPS deploy we ran: one server, docker compose, HTTPS via Caddy in two lines, and your MCP server live for Claude.ai.
Read 10A map of the 30 reference docs in the repo: when you need X, read Y. Plus how to get help and what updates look like.
