docs: document the expert-model MCP server - #91
Conversation
Add a page covering the hosted MCP server at mcp.edenai.run, which exposes Eden AI's expert models as tools: endpoint and auth, MCP client config, the 39-tool catalog by family, the shared argument conventions, agent loops for the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, file upload and async job polling, the supports_function_calling filter, and best practices. Catalog details (tool names, required arguments, the provider/model form of the model argument, upload expiry bounds, and which tools are long-running) were read from the deployed server rather than transcribed. The four MCP snippets are marked skip-test: they need the prod MCP endpoint, real credits, and the mcp package, none of which the sandbox-token snippet harness provides. They are still written as self-contained async functions so the generated test module parses, since skipped blocks are emitted too. The model-catalog snippet stays live-tested.

WalkthroughThe PR adds a V3 Expert Models MCP Server page. It documents endpoint setup, authentication, tool usage, OpenAI and Anthropic integrations, document processing, OCR polling, model filtering, and best practices. ChangesMCP Server documentation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds MCP server documentation and client examples; one example may fail for tools with empty arguments, and the documented upload-retention default conflicts with another page. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded documentation issues. Suggested reviewers: Poem

- Around line 157-160: Update the tool-call loop around mcp.call_tool to handle
empty call.function.arguments by supplying an empty argument object instead of
passing the empty string to json.loads; continue parsing non-empty argument
strings normally so tools with parameters retain their current behavior.
- Line 298: Update the upload retention statement in the file-upload
documentation to use the documented 30-day default, and remove the unsupported
1–30 range unless it is independently established elsewhere. Keep the wording
consistent with the upload API documentation.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Guard against empty tool arguments.
Models can return arguments as an empty string for tools without required parameters. json.loads("") then raises JSONDecodeError and stops the documented loop.
🛡️ Proposed fix
for call in message.tool_calls:
result = await mcp.call_tool(
- call.function.name, json.loads(call.function.arguments)
+ call.function.name, json.loads(call.function.arguments or "{}")

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Align the upload retention default.
v3/llms.txt documents a 30-day upload value, while v3/llms/file-upload.mdx documents a 7-day default. Align the file-upload page with the upload API documentation. The 1–30 range is not documented elsewhere in the repository.

Documents the hosted expert-model MCP server (
https://mcp.edenai.run/mcp), which exposes Eden AI's expert models as MCP tools.New page: Expert Models > MCP Server (
v3/expert-models/mcp-server.mdx), added as the first entry of the Expert Models nav group.Contents
modelselects the provider, file parameters take a URL or anupload_fileID, and long-running tools return a job to poll withcheck_jobupload_fileandcheck_jobexamplescapabilities.supports_function_callingAccuracy
Tool names, required arguments, the
provider/provider/modelform of themodelargument, theexpires_in_daysbounds and the list of long-running tools were read from the deployed server vialist_toolsandlist_models, not transcribed from notes.Example models are stable aliases (
google/gemini-flash-latest,anthropic/claude-haiku-latest), both confirmed present in the catalog withsupports_function_calling.Examples use
base_url="https://api.edenai.run/v3"to match the rest of the docs. Both/v3and/v3/llmroutes were confirmed to exist before settling on the documented one.The Anthropic example registers the search tool under an alias (
internet_search). A custom tool named exactlyweb_searchcollides with provider-native web search on that surface for some models, so the workaround is built into the shipped code rather than left as a footnote.Testing
The four MCP snippets are marked
{/* skip-test */}: they need the production MCP endpoint, real credits and themcppackage, none of which the sandbox-token snippet harness provides. They are still written as self-containedasync defhelpers so the generated module parses, because skipped blocks are emitted into it too and a syntax error there would take the whole page's tests down.The model-catalog snippet stays live-tested and passes.
Note:
pytest tests/cannot start in my environment (conftest.pytest_sessionstartgets a 401 fromstaging-api.edenai.run/v2/user/custom_token/). That is pre-existing and unrelated to this change, so the live snippet was verified by executing the generated block directly against the API. Worth a green CI run before merge.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
