Django Admin MCP API

What it does

Django Admin MCP API is a wire adapter that exposes your existing Django Admin (ModelAdmin) as a set of MCP tools. It requires no new permission systems or custom API code; it leverages the same session authentication, form validation, and permissions already configured in your Django admin site.

Tools

• admin.registry: List all models the current user is permitted to see.
• admin.list: Retrieve a page of results from a model's list view.
• admin.retrieve: Get a detailed view of a single object.
• admin.create: Create a new object via the admin's form logic.
• admin.update: Perform a partial update on an existing object.
• admin.destroy: Delete an object with cascade preview.
• admin.action: Execute a registered ModelAdmin.actions callable.
• admin.history: View the LogEntry timeline for a specific object.
• admin.autocomplete: Access the admin's autocomplete functionality for related models.

pip install django-admin-mcp-api
