lab-mcp-server
This is a toy project for building an MCP server by following a video example, using 'Claude Desktop' as the MCP client.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a project designed to facilitate communication between clients and servers using the MCP standard. This project specifically uses 'Claude Desktop' as the client to interact with the server. The setup involves installing necessary software and configuring environment variables to ensure smooth operation. The project is a practical exercise in understanding and implementing MCP technology, providing a hands-on approach to learning about protocol servers.
Features
- Simple setup process following a video tutorial.
- Integration with 'Claude Desktop' as the MCP client.
- Environment configuration using .env files.
- Script-based initialization for easy setup.
- Cross-platform compatibility with Python and Bash.
Usage with Different Platforms
