parquet mcp server

by DeepSpringAI
Verified

local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

Integrations

  • Uses environment variables for configuration of embedding services, database connections, and model selection

  • Converts Parquet files to DuckDB databases for efficient querying and analysis

  • Stores embedding vectors as NumPy arrays in the Parquet file output

parquet_mcp_server

A powerful MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that provides tools for performing web searches and finding similar content. This server is designed to work with Claude Desktop and offers two main functionalities:

  1. Web Search: Perform a web search and scrape results
  2. Similarity Search: Extract relevant information from previous searches

This server is particularly useful for:

  • Applications requiring web search capabilities
  • Projects needing to find similar content based on search queries

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Parquet MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @DeepSpringAI/parquet_mcp_server --client claude

Clone this repository

git clone ... cd parquet_mcp_server

Create and activate virtual environment

uv venv .venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows source .venv/bin/activate # On macOS/Linux

Install the package

uv pip install -e .

Environment

Create a .env file with the following variables:

EMBEDDING_URL=http://sample-url.com/api/embed # URL for the embedding service OLLAMA_URL=http://sample-url.com/ # URL for Ollama server EMBEDDING_MODEL=sample-model # Model to use for generating embeddings SEARCHAPI_API_KEY=your_searchapi_api_key FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your_firecrawl_api_key VOYAGE_API_KEY=your_voyage_api_key AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=http://sample-url.com/azure_openai AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your_azure_openai_api_key

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "parquet-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/home/${USER}/workspace/parquet_mcp_server/src/parquet_mcp_server", "run", "main.py" ] } } }

Available Tools

The server provides two main tools:

  1. Search Web: Perform a web search and scrape results
    • Required parameters:
      • queries: List of search queries
    • Optional parameters:
      • page_number: Page number for the search results (defaults to 1)
  2. Extract Info from Search: Extract relevant information from previous searches
    • Required parameters:
      • queries: List of search queries to merge

Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts you can use with the agent:

"Please perform a web search for 'macbook' and 'laptop' and scrape the results from page 1"
"Please extract relevant information from the previous searches for 'macbook'"

Testing the MCP Server

The project includes a comprehensive test suite in the src/tests directory. You can run all tests using:

python src/tests/run_tests.py

Or run individual tests:

# Test Web Search python src/tests/test_search_web.py # Test Extract Info from Search python src/tests/test_extract_info_from_search.py

You can also test the server using the client directly:

from parquet_mcp_server.client import ( perform_search_and_scrape, # New web search function find_similar_chunks # New extract info function ) # Perform a web search perform_search_and_scrape(["macbook", "laptop"], page_number=1) # Extract information from the search results find_similar_chunks(["macbook"])

Troubleshooting

  1. If you get SSL verification errors, make sure the SSL settings in your .env file are correct
  2. If embeddings are not generated, check:
    • The Ollama server is running and accessible
    • The model specified is available on your Ollama server
    • The text column exists in your input Parquet file
  3. If DuckDB conversion fails, check:
    • The input Parquet file exists and is readable
    • You have write permissions in the output directory
    • The Parquet file is not corrupted
  4. If PostgreSQL conversion fails, check:
    • The PostgreSQL connection settings in your .env file are correct
    • The PostgreSQL server is running and accessible
    • You have the necessary permissions to create/modify tables
    • The pgvector extension is installed in your database

You must be authenticated.
