This file is a merged representation of the entire codebase, combining all repository files into a single document. Generated by Repomix on: 2025-03-24T16:08:31.054Z ================================================================ File Summary ================================================================ Purpose: -------- This file contains a packed representation of the entire repository's contents. It is designed to be easily consumable by AI systems for analysis, code review, or other automated processes. File Format: ------------ The content is organized as follows: 1. This summary section 2. Repository information 3. Directory structure 4. Multiple file entries, each consisting of: a. A separator line (================) b. The file path (File: path/to/file) c. Another separator line d. The full contents of the file e. A blank line Usage Guidelines: ----------------- - This file should be treated as read-only. Any changes should be made to the original repository files, not this packed version. - When processing this file, use the file path to distinguish between different files in the repository. - Be aware that this file may contain sensitive information. Handle it with the same level of security as you would the original repository. Notes: ------ - Some files may have been excluded based on .gitignore rules and Repomix's configuration. - Binary files are not included in this packed representation. Please refer to the Repository Structure section for a complete list of file paths, including binary files.

The workflow assumed here is: * Once a topic branch forks from "master", "master" is never merged into it again (either directly or indirectly). * Once a topic branch is fully cooked and merged into "master", it is deleted. If you need to build on top of it to correct earlier mistakes, a new topic branch is created by forking at the tip of the "master". This is not strictly necessary, but it makes it easier to keep your history simple. * Whenever you need to test or publish your changes to topic branches, merge them into "next" branch. The script, being an example, hardcodes the publish branch name to be "next", but it is trivial to make it configurable via $GIT_DIR/config mechanism. With this workflow, you would want to know: (1) ... if a topic branch has ever been merged to "next". Young topic branches can have stupid mistakes you would rather clean up before publishing, and things that have not been merged into other branches can be easily rebased without affecting other people. But once it is published, you would not want to rewind it. (2) ... if a topic branch has been fully merged to "master". Then you can delete it. More importantly, you should not build on top of it -- other people may already want to change things related to the topic as patches against your "master", so if you need further changes, it is better to fork the topic (perhaps with the same name) afresh from the tip of "master". Let's look at this example: o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "next" / / / / / a---a---b A / / / / / / / / c---c---c---c B / / / / \ / / / / b---b C \ / / / / / \ / ---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "master" A, B and C are topic branches. * A has one fix since it was merged up to "next". * B has finished. It has been fully merged up to "master" and "next", and is ready to be deleted. * C has not merged to "next" at all. We would want to allow C to be rebased, refuse A, and encourage B to be deleted. To compute (1): git rev-list ^master ^topic next git rev-list ^master next if these match, topic has not merged in next at all. To compute (2): git rev-list master..topic if this is empty, it is fully merged to "master".

This hook is to be used to override the default # behaviour; however the code below reimplements the default behaviour # as a starting point for convenient modification. # # The hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current # branch is going to be updated: commit=$1 # It can exit with a non-zero status to refuse the push (when it does # so, it must not modify the index or the working tree). die () { echo >&2 "$*" exit 1 } # Or it can make any necessary changes to the working tree and to the # index to bring them to the desired state when the tip of the current # branch is updated to the new commit, and exit with a zero status. # # For example, the hook can simply run git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1" # in order to emulate git fetch that is run in the reverse direction # with git push, as the two-tree form of git read-tree -u -m is # essentially the same as git switch or git checkout that switches # branches while keeping the local changes in the working tree that do # not interfere with the difference between the branches. # The below is a more-or-less exact translation to shell of the C code # for the default behaviour for git's push-to-checkout hook defined in # the push_to_deploy() function in builtin/receive-pack.c. # # Note that the hook will be executed from the repository directory, # not from the working tree, so if you want to perform operations on # the working tree, you will have to adapt your code accordingly, e.g. # by adding "cd .." or using relative paths. if ! git update-index -q --ignore-submodules --refresh then die "Up-to-date check failed" fi if ! git diff-files --quiet --ignore-submodules -- then die "Working directory has unstaged changes" fi # This is a rough translation of: # # head_has_history() ?

implementation plan for integrating Repomix with our code review MCP server to enable comprehensive codebase analysis. ## Overview [Repomix](https://github.com/nomic-ai/repomix) is a tool that can flatten an entire codebase into a single text document, making it easier for large language models (LLMs) to analyze and understand the complete codebase structure. Our goal is to use Repomix to prepare codebases for review and pipe the output to an LLM for evaluation. ## Implementation Tasks ### 1. Repomix Installation and Setup - [x] Install Repomix: ```bash npm install repomix --save ``` - [x] Test basic Repomix functionality with a sample repository ### 2. MCP Server Integration - [x] Create a new tool in our MCP server called `analyze_repo`: - [x] Add tool definition in `ListToolsRequestSchema` handler - [x] Implement tool handler in `CallToolRequestSchema` handler - [x] Add appropriate input schema (repository path, output format, etc.) - [x] Add functionality to execute Repomix from within the server: ```typescript function executeRepomix(repoPath: string, options: RepomixOptions): string { // Execute repomix command and capture output // Format: repomix --style plain ${repoPath} && cat repomix-output.txt } ``` ### 3. Selective Codebase Flattening - [x] Implement options for selecting portions of a codebase: - [x] By directory/file pattern (e.g., `src/components/**/*.tsx`) - [x] By file type (e.g., `.js`, `.ts`, `.py`) - [x] By git history (e.g., only recently modified files) - [x] By custom inclusion/exclusion rules - [x] Create a configuration schema for these options: ```typescript interface RepomixOptions { includePaths?: string[]; excludePaths?: string[]; fileTypes?: string[]; recentOnly?: boolean; outputFormat?: 'plain' | 'markdown' | 'xml'; // Additional options } ``` ### 4. LLM Integration (Placeholder) - [x] Design the interface between Repomix output and LLM: ```typescript async function sendToLLM(repomixOutput: string): Promise<CodeReviewResult> { // TODO: Implement actual LLM API call with the flattened codebase // Return structured code review results } ``` - [x] Create prompts for different types of code reviews: - [x] Architecture review - [x] Security review - [x] Performance review - [x] Best practices review ### 5. Output Processing - [x] Parse and structure the LLM's response: ```typescript interface CodeReviewResult { overview: string; issues: Array<{ file: string; line?: number; severity: 'critical' | 'major' | 'minor' | 'suggestion'; description: string; recommendation?: string; }>; recommendations: string[]; score: number; } ``` - [x] Store results in a format accessible through the MCP server ### 6. UI/UX Considerations - [x] Design a workflow for initiating repository analysis - [x] Create progress indicators for long-running analyses - [x] Develop a way to present the results in a structured, navigable format ## Implementation Details ### Repomix Integration Method - [x] Bundle Repomix as a direct dependency in the package.json - [x] Use Repomix programmatically via its JavaScript API instead of CLI - [x] Handle output file generation and processing ### Repomix Command Format We've implemented a programmatic approach using the Repomix library: ```typescript // Convert user options to Repomix CLI options format const cliOptions = { style: options.outputFormat || 'plain', include: includePaths.join(','), ignore: excludePaths.join(','), // Other options... }; // Execute Repomix using the programmatic API runCli([repoPath], process.cwd(), cliOptions); ``` ### Example System Prompt ``` You are an expert code reviewer with extensive experience in software architecture, performance optimization, security, and best practices. Analyze the provided codebase and provide a comprehensive review that includes: 1. Overall architecture assessment 2. Identified issues with line numbers and severity ratings 3. Security vulnerabilities 4. Performance bottlenecks 5. Code quality and maintainability concerns 6. Specific recommendations for improvement 7. An overall score from 0-10 Format your response as a detailed report with clear sections and actionable feedback. ``` ## Future Enhancements - Integration with version control systems to track changes over time - Comparative code reviews between different versions - Custom review templates for different types of projects (web, mobile, etc.) - Automatic PR comment generation based on reviews - Integration with existing code quality tools (ESLint, SonarQube, etc.) - Complete the LLM integration with actual API calls instead of placeholders ## Resources - [Repomix GitHub Repository](https://github.com/nomic-ai/repomix) - [Model Context Protocol Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.ai) - [LLM Code Review Best Practices](https://example.com/llm-code-review) (placeholder link) ================ File: code-review/src/index.ts ================ #!/usr/bin/env node /** * MCP server that implements a code review system. * It allows: * - Listing code files as resources * - Reading individual code files * - Performing code reviews via a tool * - Providing code review templates via prompts * - Analyzing repositories using Repomix */ import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js";

It is designed to be easily consumable by AI systems for analysis, code review, or other automated processes. File Format: ------------ The content is organized as follows: 1. This summary section 2. Repository information 3. Directory structure 4. Multiple file entries, each consisting of: a. A separator line (================) b. The file path (File: path/to/file) c. Another separator line d. The full contents of the file e. A blank line Usage Guidelines: ----------------- - This file should be treated as read-only. Any changes should be made to the original repository files, not this packed version. - When processing this file, use the file path to distinguish between different files in the repository. - Be aware that this file may contain sensitive information. Handle it with the same level of security as you would the original repository. Notes: ------ - Some files may have been excluded based on .gitignore rules and Repomix's configuration - Binary files are not included in this packed representation.

Our goal is to use Repomix to prepare codebases for review and pipe the output to an LLM for evaluation. ## Implementation Tasks ### 1. Repomix Installation and Setup - [ ] Install Repomix: ```bash npm install -g repomix ``` - [ ] Test basic Repomix functionality with a sample repository ### 2.

Flatten codebases using Repomix - Analyze code with Large Language Models - Get structured code reviews with specific issues and recommendations - Support for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) - Handles chunking for large codebases ## Installation ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/code-quality-advisor.git cd code-quality-advisor # Install dependencies npm install # Build the server npm run build ``` ## Configuration Create a `.env` file in the root directory based on the `.env.example` template: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` Edit the `.env` file to set up your preferred LLM provider and API key: ```bash # LLM Provider Configuration LLM_PROVIDER=OPEN_AI OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ## Usage ### As an MCP Server The code review server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can be used with any MCP client: ```bash # Start the server node build/index.js ``` The server exposes two main tools: 1. `analyze_codebase_structure`: Flattens a codebase using Repomix to understand its structure 2. `comprehensive_quality_review`: Performs a detailed code review using an LLM ## When to Use MCP Tools This server provides two distinct tools for different code analysis needs: ### analyze_codebase_structure **Use this tool when you need to:** - Get a high-level overview of a codebase's structure and organization - Flatten a repository into a textual representation for initial analysis - Understand the directory structure and file contents without detailed review - Prepare for a more in-depth code review - Quickly scan a codebase to identify relevant files for further analysis **Example situations:** - "I want to understand the structure of this repository before reviewing it" - "Show me what files and directories are in this codebase" - "Give me a flattened view of the code to understand its organization" ### comprehensive_quality_review **Use this tool when you need to:** - Perform a comprehensive code quality assessment - Identify specific security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, or code quality issues - Get actionable recommendations for improving code - Conduct a detailed review with severity ratings for issues - Evaluate a codebase against best practices **Example situations:** - "Review this codebase for security vulnerabilities" - "Analyze the performance of these specific JavaScript files" - "Give me a detailed code quality assessment of this repository" - "Review my code and tell me how to improve its maintainability" **When to use parameters:** - `specificFiles`: When you only want to review certain files, not the entire repository - `fileTypes`: When you want to focus on specific file extensions (e.g., .js, .ts) - `detailLevel`: Use 'basic' for a quick overview or 'detailed' for in-depth analysis - `focusAreas`: When you want to prioritize certain aspects (security, performance, etc.) ### Using the CLI Tool For testing purposes, you can use the included CLI tool: ```bash node build/cli.js <repo_path> [options] ``` Options: - `--files <file1,file2>`: Specific files to review - `--types <.js,.ts>`: File types to include in the review - `--detail <basic|detailed>`: Level of detail (default: detailed) - `--focus <areas>`: Areas to focus on (security,performance,quality,maintainability) Example: ```bash node build/cli.js ./my-project --types .js,.ts --detail detailed --focus security,quality ``` ## Development ```bash # Run tests npm test # Watch mode for development npm run watch # Run the MCP inspector tool npm run inspector ``` ## LLM Integration The CodeQualityAdvisor integrates directly with multiple LLM provider APIs: - **OpenAI** (default: gpt-4o) - **Anthropic** (default: claude-3-opus-20240307) - **Gemini** (default: gemini-1.5-pro) ### Provider Configuration Configure your preferred LLM provider in the `.env` file: ```bash # Set which provider to use LLM_PROVIDER=OPEN_AI # Options: OPEN_AI, ANTHROPIC, or GEMINI # Provider API Keys (add your key for the chosen provider) OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key GEMINI_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key ``` ### Model Configuration You can optionally specify which model to use for each provider: ```bash # Optional: Override the default models OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4-turbo ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-sonnet-20240229 GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-1.5-flash-preview ``` ### How the LLM Integration Works 1. The `comprehensive_quality_review` tool processes code using Repomix to flatten the repository structure 2. The code is formatted and chunked if necessary to fit within LLM context limits 3. A detailed prompt is generated based on the focus areas and detail level 4. The prompt and code are sent directly to the LLM API of your chosen provider 5. The LLM response is parsed into a structured format 6. The review is returned as a JSON object with issues, strengths, and recommendations The implementation includes retry logic for resilience against API errors and proper formatting to ensure the most relevant code is included in the review. ## Code Review Output Format The code review is returned in a structured JSON format: ```json { "summary": "Brief summary of the code and its purpose", "issues": [ { "type": "SECURITY|PERFORMANCE|QUALITY|MAINTAINABILITY", "severity": "HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW", "description": "Description of the issue", "line_numbers": [12, 15], "recommendation": "Recommended fix" } ], "strengths": ["List of code strengths"], "recommendations": ["List of overall recommendations"] } ``` ## License MIT ================ File: docs/LLM_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md ================ # LLM Integration Implementation Plan ## Overview This document outlines the step-by-step implementation plan for integrating Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities into the code-review-server. The integration will take the output of Repomix (flattened codebase or selected files) and send it to an LLM with a code review prompt to get a comprehensive code review with structured output. ## Goals 1. Implement a flexible LLM integration that supports multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) 2. Process Repomix output and prepare it for LLM analysis 3. Design structured output format for code reviews 4. Handle authentication via environment variables for API keys 5. Implement error handling and retry mechanisms 6. Create a user-friendly interface for configuring and running code reviews ## Architecture ``` ┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐ ┌────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Repomix │────▶│ Formatter │────▶│ LLM Agent │────▶│ Structured │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Output │ └───────────┘ └───────────┘ └───────────┘ └────────────┘ ``` ## Implementation Checklist ### Phase 1: Initial Setup and Core Functionality - [x] Set up project structure for LLM integration - [x] Create LLM provider abstraction layer - [x] Implement environment variable configuration - [x] Create basic prompt templates for code review - [x] Implement JSON parsing for structured output - [x] Add basic error handling and logging ### Phase 2: Code Processing and Integration - [x] Implement Repomix output processing - [x] Create chunking logic for large codebases - [x] Build prompt construction with code content - [x] Integrate with LLM providers through Mastra - [x] Implement retry logic for API calls - [x] Create end-to-end flow from Repomix to LLM review ### Phase 3: MCP Tool Implementation - [x] Register the code_review MCP tool - [x] Implement the tool handler with proper parameters - [x] Add parameter validation and error handling - [ ] Test tool with simple repositories - [ ] Update tool to handle large codebases effectively ### Phase 4: Testing and Refinement - [ ] Create unit tests for components - [ ] Add integration tests for end-to-end flow - [ ] Test with various codebases and repositories - [ ] Optimize prompt for better results - [ ] Refine structured output format as needed - [ ] Performance testing and optimization ### Phase 5: Documentation and Polish - [x] Document API and configuration options - [x] Create examples and usage guides - [x] Update README with setup instructions - [x] Add security guidelines for API keys - [ ] Implement additional features based on feedback ## Timeline - Phase 1: 2 days - Phase 2: 3 days - Phase 3: 2 days - Phase 4: 2 days - Phase 5: 1 day Total: 10 working days ## Dependencies - Mastra SDK for LLM integration - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for MCP server - Repomix for code flattening - Node.js fs/path modules for file operations - Environment variable management - JSON parsing and validation ## Security Considerations - API keys must be stored securely as environment variables - Sensitive code content should not be logged - Rate limiting should be implemented to avoid excessive API costs - Temporary files should be properly managed and cleaned up - Input validation to prevent injection attacks ## Conclusion This implementation plan provides a comprehensive guide for integrating LLM capabilities into the code-review-server. By following this plan, we can create a robust, flexible system that leverages LLMs to provide valuable code reviews with structured outputs. ================ File: docs/REPOMIX_INTEGRATION.md ================ # Repomix Integration Checklist This document outlines the implementation plan for integrating Repomix with our code review MCP server to enable comprehensive codebase analysis. ## Overview [Repomix](https://github.com/nomic-ai/repomix) is a tool that can flatten an entire codebase into a single text document, making it easier for large language models (LLMs) to analyze and understand the complete codebase structure. Our goal is to use Repomix to prepare codebases for review and pipe the output to an LLM for evaluation. ## Implementation Tasks ### 1. Repomix Installation and Setup - [ ] Install Repomix: ```bash npm install -g repomix ``` - [ ] Test basic Repomix functionality with a sample repository ### 2. MCP Server Integration - [ ] Create a new tool in our MCP server called `analyze_repo`: - [ ] Add tool definition in `ListToolsRequestSchema` handler - [ ] Implement tool handler in `CallToolRequestSchema` handler - [ ] Add appropriate input schema (repository path, output format, etc.) - [ ] Add functionality to execute Repomix from within the server: ```typescript function executeRepomix(repoPath: string, options: RepomixOptions): string { // Execute repomix command and capture output // Format: repomix --style plain ${repoPath} && cat repomix-output.txt } ``` ### 3. Selective Codebase Flattening - [ ] Implement options for selecting portions of a codebase: - [ ] By directory/file pattern (e.g., `src/components/**/*.tsx`) - [ ] By file type (e.g., `.js`, `.ts`, `.py`) - [ ] By git history (e.g., only recently modified files) - [ ] By custom inclusion/exclusion rules - [ ] Create a configuration schema for these options: ```typescript interface RepomixOptions { includePaths?: string[]; excludePaths?: string[]; fileTypes?: string[]; recentOnly?: boolean; outputFormat?: 'plain' | 'markdown' | 'json'; // Additional options } ``` ### 4. LLM Integration (Placeholder) - [ ] Design the interface between Repomix output and LLM: ```typescript async function sendToLLM(repomixOutput: string): Promise<CodeReviewResult> { // TODO: Implement LLM API call with the flattened codebase // Return structured code review results } ``` - [ ] Create prompts for different types of code reviews: - [ ] Architecture review - [ ] Security review - [ ] Performance review - [ ] Best practices review ### 5. Output Processing - [ ] Parse and structure the LLM's response: ```typescript interface CodeReviewResult { overview: string; issues: Array<{ file: string; line?: number; severity: 'critical' | 'major' | 'minor' | 'suggestion'; description: string; recommendation?: string; }>; recommendations: string[]; score: number; } ``` - [ ] Store results in a format accessible through the MCP server ### 6. UI/UX Considerations - [ ] Design a workflow for initiating repository analysis - [ ] Create progress indicators for long-running analyses - [ ] Develop a way to present the results in a structured, navigable format ## Implementation Details ### Repomix Command Format Basic command structure: ```bash repomix --style plain ${repoPath} && cat repomix-output.txt | llm -s "${SYSTEM_PROMPT}" "${USER_PROMPT}" ``` Where: - `--style plain` generates a simple text output - `repoPath` is the path to the repository to analyze - The output is piped to an LLM with appropriate system and user prompts ### Example System Prompt ``` You are an expert code reviewer with extensive experience in software architecture, performance optimization, security, and best practices. Analyze the provided codebase and provide a comprehensive review that includes: 1. Overall architecture assessment 2. Identified issues with line numbers and severity ratings 3. Security vulnerabilities 4. Performance bottlenecks 5. Code quality and maintainability concerns 6. Specific recommendations for improvement 7. An overall score from 0-10 Format your response as a detailed report with clear sections and actionable feedback. ``` ## Future Enhancements - Integration with version control systems to track changes over time - Comparative code reviews between different versions - Custom review templates for different types of projects (web, mobile, etc.) - Automatic PR comment generation based on reviews - Integration with existing code quality tools (ESLint, SonarQube, etc.) ## Resources - [Repomix GitHub Repository](https://github.com/nomic-ai/repomix) - [Model Context Protocol Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.ai) - [LLM Code Review Best Practices](https://example.com/llm-code-review) (placeholder link) ================ File: src/llm/codeReviewService.ts ================ /** * @file Code Review Service * @version 0.1.0 * * Service for performing code reviews using LLMs */ import * as fs from 'fs'; import { LLMConfig, CodeReviewOptions, CodeReviewResult } from './types.js'; import { LLMService } from './service.js'; import { CodeReviewPromptBuilder } from './prompt.js'; import { CodeProcessor } from './processor.js'; import { callWithRetry } from './errors.js'; /** * Service for performing code reviews */ export class CodeReviewService { private llmService: LLMService; private promptBuilder: CodeReviewPromptBuilder; private codeProcessor: CodeProcessor; /** * Creates a new CodeReviewService * @param config LLM configuration */ constructor(config: LLMConfig) { this.llmService = new LLMService(config); this.promptBuilder = new CodeReviewPromptBuilder(); this.codeProcessor = new CodeProcessor(); } /** * Reviews code from a file * @param filePath Path to the file to review * @param options Code review options * @returns Code review result */ async reviewCodeFromFile(filePath: string, options: CodeReviewOptions): Promise<CodeReviewResult> { console.log(`Reviewing code from file: ${filePath}`); const code = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8'); return this.reviewCode(code, options); } /** * Reviews code from repomix output * @param repomixOutput Repomix output or path to Repomix output file * @param options Code review options * @returns Code review result */ async reviewCodeFromRepomix(repomixOutput: string, options: CodeReviewOptions): Promise<CodeReviewResult> { console.log('Processing Repomix output...'); const processedRepo = await this.codeProcessor.processRepomixOutput(repomixOutput); console.log(`Processed Repomix output (${processedRepo.length} characters)`); return this.reviewCode(processedRepo, options); } /** * Reviews code * @param code Code to review * @param options Code review options * @returns Code review result */ private async reviewCode(code: string, options: CodeReviewOptions): Promise<CodeReviewResult> { try { console.log('Building code review prompt...'); const prompt = this.promptBuilder.buildCodeReviewPrompt(code, options); console.log('Sending code to LLM for review...'); // Use retry logic for robustness const result = await callWithRetry( () => this.llmService.generateReview(prompt), 3, // max retries 2000 // initial delay ); console.log('Review completed successfully'); return result; } catch (error) { console.error('Error reviewing code:', error); throw new Error(`Failed to review code: ${(error as Error).message}`); } } } ================ File: src/llm/config.ts ================ /** * @file LLM Configuration * @version 0.1.0 * * Configuration for LLM providers */ import * as dotenv from 'dotenv'; import { LLMConfig, LLMProvider } from './types.js'; // Load environment variables dotenv.config(); /** * API key environment variable names for each provider */ const apiKeyEnvVars: Record<LLMProvider, string> = { OPEN_AI: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', ANTHROPIC: 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', GEMINI: 'GEMINI_API_KEY' }; /** * Default models for each provider */ const defaultModels: Record<LLMProvider, string> = { OPEN_AI: 'gpt-4o', ANTHROPIC: 'claude-3-opus-20240307', GEMINI: 'gemini-1.5-pro' }; /** * Model environment variable names for each provider */ const modelEnvVars: Record<LLMProvider, string> = { OPEN_AI: 'OPENAI_MODEL', ANTHROPIC: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL', GEMINI: 'GEMINI_MODEL' }; /** * Loads LLM configuration from environment variables * @returns LLM configuration */ export function loadLLMConfig(): LLMConfig { // Get the provider const provider = process.env.LLM_PROVIDER as LLMProvider; if (!provider) { throw new Error('LLM_PROVIDER environment variable is not set.

This document covers the core architectural components and concepts. ## Overview MCP follows a client-server architecture where: * **Hosts** are LLM applications (like Claude Desktop or IDEs) that initiate connections * **Clients** maintain 1:1 connections with servers, inside the host application * **Servers** provide context, tools, and prompts to clients ```mermaid flowchart LR subgraph "Host" client1[MCP Client] client2[MCP Client] end subgraph "Server Process" server1[MCP Server] end subgraph "Server Process" server2[MCP Server] end client1 <-->|Transport Layer| server1 client2 <-->|Transport Layer| server2 ``` ## Core components ### Protocol layer The protocol layer handles message framing, request/response linking, and high-level communication patterns. <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript class Protocol<Request, Notification, Result> { // Handle incoming requests setRequestHandler<T>(schema: T, handler: (request: T, extra: RequestHandlerExtra) => Promise<Result>): void // Handle incoming notifications setNotificationHandler<T>(schema: T, handler: (notification: T) => Promise<void>): void // Send requests and await responses request<T>(request: Request, schema: T, options?: RequestOptions): Promise<T> // Send one-way notifications notification(notification: Notification): Promise<void> } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> ```python class Session(BaseSession[RequestT, NotificationT, ResultT]): async def send_request( self, request: RequestT, result_type: type[Result] ) -> Result: """ Send request and wait for response. Raises McpError if response contains error. """ # Request handling implementation async def send_notification( self, notification: NotificationT ) -> None: """Send one-way notification that doesn't expect response.""" # Notification handling implementation async def _received_request( self, responder: RequestResponder[ReceiveRequestT, ResultT] ) -> None: """Handle incoming request from other side.""" # Request handling implementation async def _received_notification( self, notification: ReceiveNotificationT ) -> None: """Handle incoming notification from other side.""" # Notification handling implementation ``` </Tab> </Tabs> Key classes include: * `Protocol` * `Client` * `Server` ### Transport layer The transport layer handles the actual communication between clients and servers. MCP supports multiple transport mechanisms: 1. **Stdio transport** * Uses standard input/output for communication * Ideal for local processes 2. **HTTP with SSE transport** * Uses Server-Sent Events for server-to-client messages * HTTP POST for client-to-server messages All transports use [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/) 2.0 to exchange messages. See the [specification](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io) for detailed information about the Model Context Protocol message format. ### Message types MCP has these main types of messages: 1. **Requests** expect a response from the other side: ```typescript interface Request { method: string; params?: { ... }; } ``` 2. **Results** are successful responses to requests: ```typescript interface Result { [key: string]: unknown; } ``` 3. **Errors** indicate that a request failed: ```typescript interface Error { code: number; message: string; data?: unknown; } ``` 4. **Notifications** are one-way messages that don't expect a response: ```typescript interface Notification { method: string; params?: { ... }; } ``` ## Connection lifecycle ### 1. Initialization ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant Client participant Server Client->>Server: initialize request Server->>Client: initialize response Client->>Server: initialized notification Note over Client,Server: Connection ready for use ``` 1. Client sends `initialize` request with protocol version and capabilities 2. Server responds with its protocol version and capabilities 3. Client sends `initialized` notification as acknowledgment 4. Normal message exchange begins ### 2. Message exchange After initialization, the following patterns are supported: * **Request-Response**: Client or server sends requests, the other responds * **Notifications**: Either party sends one-way messages ### 3. Termination Either party can terminate the connection: * Clean shutdown via `close()` * Transport disconnection * Error conditions ## Error handling MCP defines these standard error codes: ```typescript enum ErrorCode { // Standard JSON-RPC error codes ParseError = -32700, InvalidRequest = -32600, MethodNotFound = -32601, InvalidParams = -32602, InternalError = -32603 } ``` SDKs and applications can define their own error codes above -32000. Errors are propagated through: * Error responses to requests * Error events on transports * Protocol-level error handlers ## Implementation example Here's a basic example of implementing an MCP server: <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; const server = new Server({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { resources: {} } }); // Handle requests server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => { return { resources: [ { uri: "example://resource", name: "Example Resource" } ] };

// Unique identifier for the prompt description?: string; // Human-readable description arguments?: [ // Optional list of arguments { name: string; // Argument identifier description?: string; // Argument description required?: boolean; // Whether argument is required } ] } ``` ## Discovering prompts Clients can discover available prompts through the `prompts/list` endpoint: ```typescript // Request { method: "prompts/list" } // Response { prompts: [ { name: "analyze-code", description: "Analyze code for potential improvements", arguments: [ { name: "language", description: "Programming language", required: true } ] } ] } ``` ## Using prompts To use a prompt, clients make a `prompts/get` request: ````typescript // Request { method: "prompts/get", params: { name: "analyze-code", arguments: { language: "python" } } } // Response { description: "Analyze Python code for potential improvements", messages: [ { role: "user", content: { type: "text", text: "Please analyze the following Python code for potential improvements:\n\n```python\ndef calculate_sum(numbers):\n total = 0\n for num in numbers:\n total = total + num\n return total\n\nresult = calculate_sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])\nprint(result)\n```" } } ] } ```` ## Dynamic prompts Prompts can be dynamic and include: ### Embedded resource context ```json { "name": "analyze-project", "description": "Analyze project logs and code", "arguments": [ { "name": "timeframe", "description": "Time period to analyze logs", "required": true }, { "name": "fileUri", "description": "URI of code file to review", "required": true } ] } ``` When handling the `prompts/get` request: ```json { "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": { "type": "text", "text": "Analyze these system logs and the code file for any issues:" } }, { "role": "user", "content": { "type": "resource", "resource": { "uri": "logs://recent?timeframe=1h", "text": "[2024-03-14 15:32:11] ERROR: Connection timeout in network.py:127\n[2024-03-14 15:32:15] WARN: Retrying connection (attempt 2/3)\n[2024-03-14 15:32:20] ERROR: Max retries exceeded", "mimeType": "text/plain" } } }, { "role": "user", "content": { "type": "resource", "resource": { "uri": "file:///path/to/code.py", "text": "def connect_to_service(timeout=30):\n retries = 3\n for attempt in range(retries):\n try:\n return establish_connection(timeout)\n except TimeoutError:\n if attempt == retries - 1:\n raise\n time.sleep(5)\n\ndef establish_connection(timeout):\n # Connection implementation\n pass", "mimeType": "text/x-python" } } } ] } ``` ### Multi-step workflows ```typescript const debugWorkflow = { name: "debug-error", async getMessages(error: string) { return [ { role: "user", content: { type: "text", text: `Here's an error I'm seeing: ${error}` } }, { role: "assistant", content: { type: "text", text: "I'll help analyze this error.

Use clear, descriptive prompt names 2. Provide detailed descriptions for prompts and arguments 3. Validate all required arguments 4. Handle missing arguments gracefully 5. Consider versioning for prompt templates 6. Cache dynamic content when appropriate 7. Implement error handling 8. Document expected argument formats 9. Consider prompt composability 10. Test prompts with various inputs ## UI integration Prompts can be surfaced in client UIs as: * Slash commands * Quick actions * Context menu items * Command palette entries * Guided workflows * Interactive forms ## Updates and changes Servers can notify clients about prompt changes: 1. Server capability: `prompts.listChanged` 2. Notification: `notifications/prompts/list_changed` 3. Client re-fetches prompt list ## Security considerations When implementing prompts: * Validate all arguments * Sanitize user input * Consider rate limiting * Implement access controls * Audit prompt usage * Handle sensitive data appropriately * Validate generated content * Implement timeouts * Consider prompt injection risks * Document security requirements # Resources Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/resources Expose data and content from your servers to LLMs Resources are a core primitive in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allow servers to expose data and content that can be read by clients and used as context for LLM interactions. <Note> Resources are designed to be **application-controlled**, meaning that the client application can decide how and when they should be used. Different MCP clients may handle resources differently. For example: * Claude Desktop currently requires users to explicitly select resources before they can be used * Other clients might automatically select resources based on heuristics * Some implementations may even allow the AI model itself to determine which resources to use Server authors should be prepared to handle any of these interaction patterns when implementing resource support. In order to expose data to models automatically, server authors should use a **model-controlled** primitive such as [Tools](./tools). </Note> ## Overview Resources represent any kind of data that an MCP server wants to make available to clients. This can include: * File contents * Database records * API responses * Live system data * Screenshots and images * Log files * And more Each resource is identified by a unique URI and can contain either text or binary data. ## Resource URIs Resources are identified using URIs that follow this format: ``` [protocol]://[host]/[path] ``` For example: * `file:///home/user/documents/report.pdf` * `postgres://database/customers/schema` * `screen://localhost/display1` The protocol and path structure is defined by the MCP server implementation. Servers can define their own custom URI schemes. ## Resource types Resources can contain two types of content: ### Text resources Text resources contain UTF-8 encoded text data. These are suitable for: * Source code * Configuration files * Log files * JSON/XML data * Plain text ### Binary resources Binary resources contain raw binary data encoded in base64. These are suitable for: * Images * PDFs * Audio files * Video files * Other non-text formats ## Resource discovery Clients can discover available resources through two main methods: ### Direct resources Servers expose a list of concrete resources via the `resources/list` endpoint. Each resource includes: ```typescript { uri: string; // Unique identifier for the resource name: string; // Human-readable name description?: string; // Optional description mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type } ``` ### Resource templates For dynamic resources, servers can expose [URI templates](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6570) that clients can use to construct valid resource URIs: ```typescript { uriTemplate: string; // URI template following RFC 6570 name: string; // Human-readable name for this type description?: string; // Optional description mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type for all matching resources } ``` ## Reading resources To read a resource, clients make a `resources/read` request with the resource URI. The server responds with a list of resource contents: ```typescript { contents: [ { uri: string; // The URI of the resource mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type // One of: text?: string; // For text resources blob?: string; // For binary resources (base64 encoded) } ] } ``` <Tip> Servers may return multiple resources in response to one `resources/read` request. This could be used, for example, to return a list of files inside a directory when the directory is read. </Tip> ## Resource updates MCP supports real-time updates for resources through two mechanisms: ### List changes Servers can notify clients when their list of available resources changes via the `notifications/resources/list_changed` notification. ### Content changes Clients can subscribe to updates for specific resources: 1. Client sends `resources/subscribe` with resource URI 2. Server sends `notifications/resources/updated` when the resource changes 3. Client can fetch latest content with `resources/read` 4. Client can unsubscribe with `resources/unsubscribe` ## Example implementation Here's a simple example of implementing resource support in an MCP server: <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript const server = new Server({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { resources: {} } }); // List available resources server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => { return { resources: [ { uri: "file:///logs/app.log", name: "Application Logs", mimeType: "text/plain" } ] }; }); // Read resource contents server.setRequestHandler(ReadResourceRequestSchema, async (request) => { const uri = request.params.uri; if (uri === "file:///logs/app.log") { const logContents = await readLogFile(); return { contents: [ { uri, mimeType: "text/plain", text: logContents } ] }; } throw new Error("Resource not found"); }); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> ```python app = Server("example-server") @app.list_resources() async def list_resources() -> list[types.Resource]: return [ types.Resource( uri="file:///logs/app.log", name="Application Logs", mimeType="text/plain" ) ] @app.read_resource() async def read_resource(uri: AnyUrl) -> str: if str(uri) == "file:///logs/app.log": log_contents = await read_log_file() return log_contents raise ValueError("Resource not found") # Start server async with stdio_server() as streams: await app.run( streams[0], streams[1], app.create_initialization_options() ) ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Best practices When implementing resource support: 1. Use clear, descriptive resource names and URIs 2. Include helpful descriptions to guide LLM understanding 3. Set appropriate MIME types when known 4. Implement resource templates for dynamic content 5. Use subscriptions for frequently changing resources 6. Handle errors gracefully with clear error messages 7. Consider pagination for large resource lists 8. Cache resource contents when appropriate 9. Validate URIs before processing 10. Document your custom URI schemes ## Security considerations When exposing resources: * Validate all resource URIs * Implement appropriate access controls * Sanitize file paths to prevent directory traversal * Be cautious with binary data handling * Consider rate limiting for resource reads * Audit resource access * Encrypt sensitive data in transit * Validate MIME types * Implement timeouts for long-running reads * Handle resource cleanup appropriately # Roots Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/roots Understanding roots in MCP Roots are a concept in MCP that define the boundaries where servers can operate. They provide a way for clients to inform servers about relevant resources and their locations. ## What are Roots? A root is a URI that a client suggests a server should focus on. When a client connects to a server, it declares which roots the server should work with. While primarily used for filesystem paths, roots can be any valid URI including HTTP URLs. For example, roots could be: ``` file:///home/user/projects/myapp https://api.example.com/v1 ``` ## Why Use Roots? Roots serve several important purposes: 1. **Guidance**: They inform servers about relevant resources and locations 2. **Clarity**: Roots make it clear which resources are part of your workspace 3. **Organization**: Multiple roots let you work with different resources simultaneously ## How Roots Work When a client supports roots, it: 1. Declares the `roots` capability during connection 2. Provides a list of suggested roots to the server 3. Notifies the server when roots change (if supported) While roots are informational and not strictly enforcing, servers should: 1. Respect the provided roots 2. Use root URIs to locate and access resources 3. Prioritize operations within root boundaries ## Common Use Cases Roots are commonly used to define: * Project directories * Repository locations * API endpoints * Configuration locations * Resource boundaries ## Best Practices When working with roots: 1. Only suggest necessary resources 2. Use clear, descriptive names for roots 3. Monitor root accessibility 4. Handle root changes gracefully ## Example Here's how a typical MCP client might expose roots: ```json { "roots": [ { "uri": "file:///home/user/projects/frontend", "name": "Frontend Repository" }, { "uri": "https://api.example.com/v1", "name": "API Endpoint" } ] } ``` This configuration suggests the server focus on both a local repository and an API endpoint while keeping them logically separated. # Sampling Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/sampling Let your servers request completions from LLMs Sampling is a powerful MCP feature that allows servers to request LLM completions through the client, enabling sophisticated agentic behaviors while maintaining security and privacy. <Info> This feature of MCP is not yet supported in the Claude Desktop client. </Info> ## How sampling works The sampling flow follows these steps: 1. Server sends a `sampling/createMessage` request to the client 2. Client reviews the request and can modify it 3. Client samples from an LLM 4. Client reviews the completion 5. Client returns the result to the server This human-in-the-loop design ensures users maintain control over what the LLM sees and generates. ## Message format Sampling requests use a standardized message format: ```typescript { messages: [ { role: "user" | "assistant", content: { type: "text" | "image", // For text: text?: string, // For images: data?: string, // base64 encoded mimeType?: string } } ], modelPreferences?: { hints?: [{ name?: string // Suggested model name/family }], costPriority?: number, // 0-1, importance of minimizing cost speedPriority?: number, // 0-1, importance of low latency intelligencePriority?: number // 0-1, importance of capabilities }, systemPrompt?: string, includeContext?: "none" | "thisServer" | "allServers", temperature?: number, maxTokens: number, stopSequences?: string[], metadata?: Record<string, unknown> } ``` ## Request parameters ### Messages The `messages` array contains the conversation history to send to the LLM. Each message has: * `role`: Either "user" or "assistant" * `content`: The message content, which can be: * Text content with a `text` field * Image content with `data` (base64) and `mimeType` fields ### Model preferences The `modelPreferences` object allows servers to specify their model selection preferences: * `hints`: Array of model name suggestions that clients can use to select an appropriate model: * `name`: String that can match full or partial model names (e.g. "claude-3", "sonnet") * Clients may map hints to equivalent models from different providers * Multiple hints are evaluated in preference order * Priority values (0-1 normalized): * `costPriority`: Importance of minimizing costs * `speedPriority`: Importance of low latency response * `intelligencePriority`: Importance of advanced model capabilities Clients make the final model selection based on these preferences and their available models. ### System prompt An optional `systemPrompt` field allows servers to request a specific system prompt. The client may modify or ignore this. ### Context inclusion The `includeContext` parameter specifies what MCP context to include: * `"none"`: No additional context * `"thisServer"`: Include context from the requesting server * `"allServers"`: Include context from all connected MCP servers The client controls what context is actually included. ### Sampling parameters Fine-tune the LLM sampling with: * `temperature`: Controls randomness (0.0 to 1.0) * `maxTokens`: Maximum tokens to generate * `stopSequences`: Array of sequences that stop generation * `metadata`: Additional provider-specific parameters ## Response format The client returns a completion result: ```typescript { model: string, // Name of the model used stopReason?: "endTurn" | "stopSequence" | "maxTokens" | string, role: "user" | "assistant", content: { type: "text" | "image", text?: string, data?: string, mimeType?: string } } ``` ## Example request Here's an example of requesting sampling from a client: ```json { "method": "sampling/createMessage", "params": { "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": { "type": "text", "text": "What files are in the current directory?" } } ], "systemPrompt": "You are a helpful file system assistant.", "includeContext": "thisServer", "maxTokens": 100 } } ``` ## Best practices When implementing sampling: 1. Always provide clear, well-structured prompts 2. Handle both text and image content appropriately 3. Set reasonable token limits 4. Include relevant context through `includeContext` 5. Validate responses before using them 6. Handle errors gracefully 7. Consider rate limiting sampling requests 8. Document expected sampling behavior 9. Test with various model parameters 10. Monitor sampling costs ## Human in the loop controls Sampling is designed with human oversight in mind: ### For prompts * Clients should show users the proposed prompt * Users should be able to modify or reject prompts * System prompts can be filtered or modified * Context inclusion is controlled by the client ### For completions * Clients should show users the completion * Users should be able to modify or reject completions * Clients can filter or modify completions * Users control which model is used ## Security considerations When implementing sampling: * Validate all message content * Sanitize sensitive information * Implement appropriate rate limits * Monitor sampling usage * Encrypt data in transit * Handle user data privacy * Audit sampling requests * Control cost exposure * Implement timeouts * Handle model errors gracefully ## Common patterns ### Agentic workflows Sampling enables agentic patterns like: * Reading and analyzing resources * Making decisions based on context * Generating structured data * Handling multi-step tasks * Providing interactive assistance ### Context management Best practices for context: * Request minimal necessary context * Structure context clearly * Handle context size limits * Update context as needed * Clean up stale context ### Error handling Robust error handling should: * Catch sampling failures * Handle timeout errors * Manage rate limits * Validate responses * Provide fallback behaviors * Log errors appropriately ## Limitations Be aware of these limitations: * Sampling depends on client capabilities * Users control sampling behavior * Context size has limits * Rate limits may apply * Costs should be considered * Model availability varies * Response times vary * Not all content types supported # Tools Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/tools Enable LLMs to perform actions through your server Tools are a powerful primitive in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enable servers to expose executable functionality to clients. Through tools, LLMs can interact with external systems, perform computations, and take actions in the real world. <Note> Tools are designed to be **model-controlled**, meaning that tools are exposed from servers to clients with the intention of the AI model being able to automatically invoke them (with a human in the loop to grant approval). </Note> ## Overview Tools in MCP allow servers to expose executable functions that can be invoked by clients and used by LLMs to perform actions. Key aspects of tools include: * **Discovery**: Clients can list available tools through the `tools/list` endpoint * **Invocation**: Tools are called using the `tools/call` endpoint, where servers perform the requested operation and return results * **Flexibility**: Tools can range from simple calculations to complex API interactions Like [resources](/docs/concepts/resources), tools are identified by unique names and can include descriptions to guide their usage. However, unlike resources, tools represent dynamic operations that can modify state or interact with external systems. ## Tool definition structure Each tool is defined with the following structure: ```typescript { name: string; // Unique identifier for the tool description?: string; // Human-readable description inputSchema: { // JSON Schema for the tool's parameters type: "object", properties: { ... } // Tool-specific parameters } } ``` ## Implementing tools Here's an example of implementing a basic tool in an MCP server: <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript const server = new Server({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { tools: {} } }); // Define available tools server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => { return { tools: [{ name: "calculate_sum", description: "Add two numbers together", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { a: { type: "number" }, b: { type: "number" } }, required: ["a", "b"] } }] }; }); // Handle tool execution server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => { if (request.params.name === "calculate_sum") { const { a, b } = request.params.arguments; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: String(a + b) } ] }; } throw new Error("Tool not found"); }); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> ```python app = Server("example-server") @app.list_tools() async def list_tools() -> list[types.Tool]: return [ types.Tool( name="calculate_sum", description="Add two numbers together", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "a": {"type": "number"}, "b": {"type": "number"} }, "required": ["a", "b"] } ) ] @app.call_tool() async def call_tool( name: str, arguments: dict ) -> list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource]: if name == "calculate_sum": a = arguments["a"] b = arguments["b"] result = a + b return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))] raise ValueError(f"Tool not found: {name}") ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Example tool patterns Here are some examples of types of tools that a server could provide: ### System operations Tools that interact with the local system: ```typescript { name: "execute_command", description: "Run a shell command", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { command: { type: "string" }, args: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } } } } } ``` ### API integrations Tools that wrap external APIs: ```typescript { name: "github_create_issue", description: "Create a GitHub issue", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { title: { type: "string" }, body: { type: "string" }, labels: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } } } } } ``` ### Data processing Tools that transform or analyze data: ```typescript { name: "analyze_csv", description: "Analyze a CSV file", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { filepath: { type: "string" }, operations: { type: "array", items: { enum: ["sum", "average", "count"] } } } } } ``` ## Best practices When implementing tools: 1. Provide clear, descriptive names and descriptions 2. Use detailed JSON Schema definitions for parameters 3. Include examples in tool descriptions to demonstrate how the model should use them 4. Implement proper error handling and validation 5. Use progress reporting for long operations 6. Keep tool operations focused and atomic 7. Document expected return value structures 8. Implement proper timeouts 9. Consider rate limiting for resource-intensive operations 10. Log tool usage for debugging and monitoring ## Security considerations When exposing tools: ### Input validation * Validate all parameters against the schema * Sanitize file paths and system commands * Validate URLs and external identifiers * Check parameter sizes and ranges * Prevent command injection ### Access control * Implement authentication where needed * Use appropriate authorization checks * Audit tool usage * Rate limit requests * Monitor for abuse ### Error handling * Don't expose internal errors to clients * Log security-relevant errors * Handle timeouts appropriately * Clean up resources after errors * Validate return values ## Tool discovery and updates MCP supports dynamic tool discovery: 1. Clients can list available tools at any time 2. Servers can notify clients when tools change using `notifications/tools/list_changed` 3. Tools can be added or removed during runtime 4. Tool definitions can be updated (though this should be done carefully) ## Error handling Tool errors should be reported within the result object, not as MCP protocol-level errors. This allows the LLM to see and potentially handle the error. When a tool encounters an error: 1. Set `isError` to `true` in the result 2. Include error details in the `content` array Here's an example of proper error handling for tools: <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript try { // Tool operation const result = performOperation(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Operation successful: ${result}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { isError: true, content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error: ${error.message}` } ] }; } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> ```python try: # Tool operation result = perform_operation() return types.CallToolResult( content=[ types.TextContent( type="text", text=f"Operation successful: {result}" ) ] ) except Exception as error: return types.CallToolResult( isError=True, content=[ types.TextContent( type="text", text=f"Error: {str(error)}" ) ] ) ``` </Tab> </Tabs> This approach allows the LLM to see that an error occurred and potentially take corrective action or request human intervention. ## Testing tools A comprehensive testing strategy for MCP tools should cover: * **Functional testing**: Verify tools execute correctly with valid inputs and handle invalid inputs appropriately * **Integration testing**: Test tool interaction with external systems using both real and mocked dependencies * **Security testing**: Validate authentication, authorization, input sanitization, and rate limiting * **Performance testing**: Check behavior under load, timeout handling, and resource cleanup * **Error handling**: Ensure tools properly report errors through the MCP protocol and clean up resources # Transports Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports Learn about MCP's communication mechanisms Transports in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) provide the foundation for communication between clients and servers. A transport handles the underlying mechanics of how messages are sent and received. ## Message Format MCP uses [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/) 2.0 as its wire format. The transport layer is responsible for converting MCP protocol messages into JSON-RPC format for transmission and converting received JSON-RPC messages back into MCP protocol messages. There are three types of JSON-RPC messages used: ### Requests ```typescript { jsonrpc: "2.0", id: number | string, method: string, params?: object } ``` ### Responses ```typescript { jsonrpc: "2.0", id: number | string, result?: object, error?: { code: number, message: string, data?: unknown } } ``` ### Notifications ```typescript { jsonrpc: "2.0", method: string, params?: object } ``` ## Built-in Transport Types MCP includes two standard transport implementations: ### Standard Input/Output (stdio) The stdio transport enables communication through standard input and output streams. This is particularly useful for local integrations and command-line tools. Use stdio when: * Building command-line tools * Implementing local integrations * Needing simple process communication * Working with shell scripts <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript (Server)"> ```typescript const server = new Server({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: {} }); const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="TypeScript (Client)"> ```typescript const client = new Client({ name: "example-client", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: {} }); const transport = new StdioClientTransport({ command: "./server", args: ["--option", "value"] }); await client.connect(transport); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python (Server)"> ```python app = Server("example-server") async with stdio_server() as streams: await app.run( streams[0], streams[1], app.create_initialization_options() ) ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python (Client)"> ```python params = StdioServerParameters( command="./server", args=["--option", "value"] ) async with stdio_client(params) as streams: async with ClientSession(streams[0], streams[1]) as session: await session.initialize() ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ### Server-Sent Events (SSE) SSE transport enables server-to-client streaming with HTTP POST requests for client-to-server communication. Use SSE when: * Only server-to-client streaming is needed * Working with restricted networks * Implementing simple updates <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript (Server)"> ```typescript import express from "express"; const app = express(); const server = new Server({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: {} }); let transport: SSEServerTransport | null = null; app.get("/sse", (req, res) => { transport = new SSEServerTransport("/messages", res); server.connect(transport); }); app.post("/messages", (req, res) => { if (transport) { transport.handlePostMessage(req, res); } }); app.listen(3000); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="TypeScript (Client)"> ```typescript const client = new Client({ name: "example-client", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: {} }); const transport = new SSEClientTransport( new URL("http://localhost:3000/sse") ); await client.connect(transport); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python (Server)"> ```python from mcp.server.sse import SseServerTransport from starlette.applications import Starlette from starlette.routing import Route app = Server("example-server") sse = SseServerTransport("/messages") async def handle_sse(scope, receive, send): async with sse.connect_sse(scope, receive, send) as streams: await app.run(streams[0], streams[1], app.create_initialization_options()) async def handle_messages(scope, receive, send): await sse.handle_post_message(scope, receive, send) starlette_app = Starlette( routes=[ Route("/sse", endpoint=handle_sse), Route("/messages", endpoint=handle_messages, methods=["POST"]), ] ) ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python (Client)"> ```python async with sse_client("http://localhost:8000/sse") as streams: async with ClientSession(streams[0], streams[1]) as session: await session.initialize() ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Custom Transports MCP makes it easy to implement custom transports for specific needs. Any transport implementation just needs to conform to the Transport interface: You can implement custom transports for: * Custom network protocols * Specialized communication channels * Integration with existing systems * Performance optimization <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript interface Transport { // Start processing messages start(): Promise<void>; // Send a JSON-RPC message send(message: JSONRPCMessage): Promise<void>; // Close the connection close(): Promise<void>; // Callbacks onclose?: () => void; onerror?: (error: Error) => void; onmessage?: (message: JSONRPCMessage) => void; } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> Note that while MCP Servers are often implemented with asyncio, we recommend implementing low-level interfaces like transports with `anyio` for wider compatibility. ```python @contextmanager async def create_transport( read_stream: MemoryObjectReceiveStream[JSONRPCMessage | Exception], write_stream: MemoryObjectSendStream[JSONRPCMessage] ): """ Transport interface for MCP. Args: read_stream: Stream to read incoming messages from write_stream: Stream to write outgoing messages to """ async with anyio.create_task_group() as tg: try: # Start processing messages tg.start_soon(lambda: process_messages(read_stream)) # Send messages async with write_stream: yield write_stream except Exception as exc: # Handle errors raise exc finally: # Clean up tg.cancel_scope.cancel() await write_stream.aclose() await read_stream.aclose() ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Error Handling Transport implementations should handle various error scenarios: 1. Connection errors 2. Message parsing errors 3. Protocol errors 4. Network timeouts 5. Resource cleanup Example error handling: <Tabs> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript class ExampleTransport implements Transport { async start() { try { // Connection logic } catch (error) { this.onerror?.(new Error(`Failed to connect: ${error}`)); throw error; } } async send(message: JSONRPCMessage) { try { // Sending logic } catch (error) { this.onerror?.(new Error(`Failed to send message: ${error}`)); throw error; } } } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Python"> Note that while MCP Servers are often implemented with asyncio, we recommend implementing low-level interfaces like transports with `anyio` for wider compatibility. ```python @contextmanager async def example_transport(scope: Scope, receive: Receive, send: Send): try: # Create streams for bidirectional communication read_stream_writer, read_stream = anyio.create_memory_object_stream(0) write_stream, write_stream_reader = anyio.create_memory_object_stream(0) async def message_handler(): try: async with read_stream_writer: # Message handling logic pass except Exception as exc: logger.error(f"Failed to handle message: {exc}") raise exc async with anyio.create_task_group() as tg: tg.start_soon(message_handler) try: # Yield streams for communication yield read_stream, write_stream except Exception as exc: logger.error(f"Transport error: {exc}") raise exc finally: tg.cancel_scope.cancel() await write_stream.aclose() await read_stream.aclose() except Exception as exc: logger.error(f"Failed to initialize transport: {exc}") raise exc ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Best Practices When implementing or using MCP transport: 1. Handle connection lifecycle properly 2. Implement proper error handling 3. Clean up resources on connection close 4. Use appropriate timeouts 5. Validate messages before sending 6. Log transport events for debugging 7. Implement reconnection logic when appropriate 8. Handle backpressure in message queues 9. Monitor connection health 10. Implement proper security measures ## Security Considerations When implementing transport: ### Authentication and Authorization * Implement proper authentication mechanisms * Validate client credentials * Use secure token handling * Implement authorization checks ### Data Security * Use TLS for network transport * Encrypt sensitive data * Validate message integrity * Implement message size limits * Sanitize input data ### Network Security * Implement rate limiting * Use appropriate timeouts * Handle denial of service scenarios * Monitor for unusual patterns * Implement proper firewall rules ## Debugging Transport Tips for debugging transport issues: 1. Enable debug logging 2. Monitor message flow 3. Check connection states 4. Validate message formats 5. Test error scenarios 6. Use network analysis tools 7. Implement health checks 8. Monitor resource usage 9. Test edge cases 10. Use proper error tracking # Debugging Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/debugging A comprehensive guide to debugging Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations Effective debugging is essential when developing MCP servers or integrating them with applications. This guide covers the debugging tools and approaches available in the MCP ecosystem. <Info> This guide is for macOS. Guides for other platforms are coming soon. </Info> ## Debugging tools overview MCP provides several tools for debugging at different levels: 1. **MCP Inspector** * Interactive debugging interface * Direct server testing * See the [Inspector guide](/docs/tools/inspector) for details 2. **Claude Desktop Developer Tools** * Integration testing * Log collection * Chrome DevTools integration 3. **Server Logging** * Custom logging implementations * Error tracking * Performance monitoring ## Debugging in Claude Desktop ### Checking server status The Claude.app interface provides basic server status information: 1. Click the <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/claude-desktop-mcp-plug-icon.svg" style={{display: 'inline', margin: 0, height: '1.3em'}} /> icon to view: * Connected servers * Available prompts and resources 2. Click the <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/claude-desktop-mcp-hammer-icon.svg" style={{display: 'inline', margin: 0, height: '1.3em'}} /> icon to view: * Tools made available to the model ### Viewing logs Review detailed MCP logs from Claude Desktop: ```bash # Follow logs in real-time tail -n 20 -F ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log ``` The logs capture: * Server connection events * Configuration issues * Runtime errors * Message exchanges ### Using Chrome DevTools Access Chrome's developer tools inside Claude Desktop to investigate client-side errors: 1. Create a `developer_settings.json` file with `allowDevTools` set to true: ```bash echo '{"allowDevTools": true}' > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/developer_settings.json ``` 2. Open DevTools: `Command-Option-Shift-i` Note: You'll see two DevTools windows: * Main content window * App title bar window Use the Console panel to inspect client-side errors. Use the Network panel to inspect: * Message payloads * Connection timing ## Common issues ### Working directory When using MCP servers with Claude Desktop: * The working directory for servers launched via `claude_desktop_config.json` may be undefined (like `/` on macOS) since Claude Desktop could be started from anywhere * Always use absolute paths in your configuration and `.env` files to ensure reliable operation * For testing servers directly via command line, the working directory will be where you run the command For example in `claude_desktop_config.json`, use: ```json { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/username/data"] } ``` Instead of relative paths like `./data` ### Environment variables MCP servers inherit only a subset of environment variables automatically, like `USER`, `HOME`, and `PATH`. To override the default variables or provide your own, you can specify an `env` key in `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "myserver": { "command": "mcp-server-myapp", "env": { "MYAPP_API_KEY": "some_key", } } } ``` ### Server initialization Common initialization problems: 1. **Path Issues** * Incorrect server executable path * Missing required files * Permission problems * Try using an absolute path for `command` 2. **Configuration Errors** * Invalid JSON syntax * Missing required fields * Type mismatches 3. **Environment Problems** * Missing environment variables * Incorrect variable values * Permission restrictions ### Connection problems When servers fail to connect: 1. Check Claude Desktop logs 2. Verify server process is running 3. Test standalone with [Inspector](/docs/tools/inspector) 4. Verify protocol compatibility ## Implementing logging ### Server-side logging When building a server that uses the local stdio [transport](/docs/concepts/transports), all messages logged to stderr (standard error) will be captured by the host application (e.g., Claude Desktop) automatically. <Warning> Local MCP servers should not log messages to stdout (standard out), as this will interfere with protocol operation. </Warning> For all [transports](/docs/concepts/transports), you can also provide logging to the client by sending a log message notification: <Tabs> <Tab title="Python"> ```python server.request_context.session.send_log_message( level="info", data="Server started successfully", ) ``` </Tab> <Tab title="TypeScript"> ```typescript server.sendLoggingMessage({ level: "info", data: "Server started successfully", }); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> Important events to log: * Initialization steps * Resource access * Tool execution * Error conditions * Performance metrics ### Client-side logging In client applications: 1. Enable debug logging 2. Monitor network traffic 3. Track message exchanges 4. Record error states ## Debugging workflow ### Development cycle 1. Initial Development * Use [Inspector](/docs/tools/inspector) for basic testing * Implement core functionality * Add logging points 2. Integration Testing * Test in Claude Desktop * Monitor logs * Check error handling ### Testing changes To test changes efficiently: * **Configuration changes**: Restart Claude Desktop * **Server code changes**: Use Command-R to reload * **Quick iteration**: Use [Inspector](/docs/tools/inspector) during development ## Best practices ### Logging strategy 1. **Structured Logging** * Use consistent formats * Include context * Add timestamps * Track request IDs 2. **Error Handling** * Log stack traces * Include error context * Track error patterns * Monitor recovery 3. **Performance Tracking** * Log operation timing * Monitor resource usage * Track message sizes * Measure latency ### Security considerations When debugging: 1. **Sensitive Data** * Sanitize logs * Protect credentials * Mask personal information 2. **Access Control** * Verify permissions * Check authentication * Monitor access patterns ## Getting help When encountering issues: 1. **First Steps** * Check server logs * Test with [Inspector](/docs/tools/inspector) * Review configuration * Verify environment 2. **Support Channels** * GitHub issues * GitHub discussions 3. **Providing Information** * Log excerpts * Configuration files * Steps to reproduce * Environment details ## Next steps <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="MCP Inspector" icon="magnifying-glass" href="/docs/tools/inspector"> Learn to use the MCP Inspector </Card> </CardGroup> # Inspector Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector In-depth guide to using the MCP Inspector for testing and debugging Model Context Protocol servers The [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) is an interactive developer tool for testing and debugging MCP servers.

Check out [what else is new.](/development/updates)</Note> MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. ## Why MCP? MCP helps you build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs. LLMs frequently need to integrate with data and tools, and MCP provides: * A growing list of pre-built integrations that your LLM can directly plug into * The flexibility to switch between LLM providers and vendors * Best practices for securing your data within your infrastructure ### General architecture At its core, MCP follows a client-server architecture where a host application can connect to multiple servers: ```mermaid flowchart LR subgraph "Your Computer" Host["Host with MCP Client\n(Claude, IDEs, Tools)"] S1["MCP Server A"] S2["MCP Server B"] S3["MCP Server C"] Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S1 Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S2 Host <-->|"MCP Protocol"| S3 S1 <--> D1[("Local\nData Source A")] S2 <--> D2[("Local\nData Source B")] end subgraph "Internet" S3 <-->|"Web APIs"| D3[("Remote\nService C")] end ``` * **MCP Hosts**: Programs like Claude Desktop, IDEs, or AI tools that want to access data through MCP * **MCP Clients**: Protocol clients that maintain 1:1 connections with servers * **MCP Servers**: Lightweight programs that each expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol * **Local Data Sources**: Your computer's files, databases, and services that MCP servers can securely access * **Remote Services**: External systems available over the internet (e.g., through APIs) that MCP servers can connect to ## Get started Choose the path that best fits your needs: #### Quick Starts <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="For Server Developers" icon="bolt" href="/quickstart/server"> Get started building your own server to use in Claude for Desktop and other clients </Card> <Card title="For Client Developers" icon="bolt" href="/quickstart/client"> Get started building your own client that can integrate with all MCP servers </Card> <Card title="For Claude Desktop Users" icon="bolt" href="/quickstart/user"> Get started using pre-built servers in Claude for Desktop </Card> </CardGroup> #### Examples <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Example Servers" icon="grid" href="/examples"> Check out our gallery of official MCP servers and implementations </Card> <Card title="Example Clients" icon="cubes" href="/clients"> View the list of clients that support MCP integrations </Card> </CardGroup> ## Tutorials <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Building MCP with LLMs" icon="comments" href="/tutorials/building-mcp-with-llms"> Learn how to use LLMs like Claude to speed up your MCP development </Card> <Card title="Debugging Guide" icon="bug" href="/docs/tools/debugging"> Learn how to effectively debug MCP servers and integrations </Card> <Card title="MCP Inspector" icon="magnifying-glass" href="/docs/tools/inspector"> Test and inspect your MCP servers with our interactive debugging tool </Card> <Card title="MCP Workshop (Video, 2hr)" icon="person-chalkboard" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQmXtrmQ5Zg"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQmXtrmQ5Zg" /> </Card> </CardGroup> ## Explore MCP Dive deeper into MCP's core concepts and capabilities: <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Core architecture" icon="sitemap" href="/docs/concepts/architecture"> Understand how MCP connects clients, servers, and LLMs </Card> <Card title="Resources" icon="database" href="/docs/concepts/resources"> Expose data and content from your servers to LLMs </Card> <Card title="Prompts" icon="message" href="/docs/concepts/prompts"> Create reusable prompt templates and workflows </Card> <Card title="Tools" icon="wrench" href="/docs/concepts/tools"> Enable LLMs to perform actions through your server </Card> <Card title="Sampling" icon="robot" href="/docs/concepts/sampling"> Let your servers request completions from LLMs </Card> <Card title="Transports" icon="network-wired" href="/docs/concepts/transports"> Learn about MCP's communication mechanism </Card> </CardGroup> ## Contributing Want to contribute?

Create a `.env` file to store it: ```bash # Create .env file touch .env ``` Add your key to the `.env` file: ```bash ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your key here> ``` Add `.env` to your `.gitignore`: ```bash echo ".env" >> .gitignore ``` <Warning> Make sure you keep your `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` secure! </Warning> ## Creating the Client ### Basic Client Structure First, let's set up our imports and create the basic client class: ```python import asyncio from typing import Optional from contextlib import AsyncExitStack from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client from anthropic import Anthropic from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() # load environment variables from .env class MCPClient: def __init__(self): # Initialize session and client objects self.session: Optional[ClientSession] = None self.exit_stack = AsyncExitStack() self.anthropic = Anthropic() # methods will go here ``` ### Server Connection Management Next, we'll implement the method to connect to an MCP server: ```python async def connect_to_server(self, server_script_path: str): """Connect to an MCP server Args: server_script_path: Path to the server script (.py or .js) """ is_python = server_script_path.endswith('.py') is_js = server_script_path.endswith('.js') if not (is_python or is_js): raise ValueError("Server script must be a .py or .js file") command = "python" if is_python else "node" server_params = StdioServerParameters( command=command, args=[server_script_path], env=None ) stdio_transport = await self.exit_stack.enter_async_context(stdio_client(server_params)) self.stdio, self.write = stdio_transport self.session = await self.exit_stack.enter_async_context(ClientSession(self.stdio, self.write)) await self.session.initialize() # List available tools response = await self.session.list_tools() tools = response.tools print("\nConnected to server with tools:", [tool.name for tool in tools]) ``` ### Query Processing Logic Now let's add the core functionality for processing queries and handling tool calls: ```python async def process_query(self, query: str) -> str: """Process a query using Claude and available tools""" messages = [ { "role": "user", "content": query } ] response = await self.session.list_tools() available_tools = [{ "name": tool.name, "description": tool.description, "input_schema": tool.inputSchema } for tool in response.tools] # Initial Claude API call response = self.anthropic.messages.create( model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", max_tokens=1000, messages=messages, tools=available_tools ) # Process response and handle tool calls final_text = [] assistant_message_content = [] for content in response.content: if content.type == 'text': final_text.append(content.text) assistant_message_content.append(content) elif content.type == 'tool_use': tool_name = content.name tool_args = content.input # Execute tool call result = await self.session.call_tool(tool_name, tool_args) final_text.append(f"[Calling tool {tool_name} with args {tool_args}]") assistant_message_content.append(content) messages.append({ "role": "assistant", "content": assistant_message_content }) messages.append({ "role": "user", "content": [ { "type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": content.id, "content": result.content } ] }) # Get next response from Claude response = self.anthropic.messages.create( model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", max_tokens=1000, messages=messages, tools=available_tools ) final_text.append(response.content[0].text) return "\n".join(final_text) ``` ### Interactive Chat Interface Now we'll add the chat loop and cleanup functionality: ```python async def chat_loop(self): """Run an interactive chat loop""" print("\nMCP Client Started!") print("Type your queries or 'quit' to exit.") while True: try: query = input("\nQuery: ").strip() if query.lower() == 'quit': break response = await self.process_query(query) print("\n" + response) except Exception as e: print(f"\nError: {str(e)}") async def cleanup(self): """Clean up resources""" await self.exit_stack.aclose() ``` ### Main Entry Point Finally, we'll add the main execution logic: ```python async def main(): if len(sys.argv) < 2: print("Usage: python client.py <path_to_server_script>") sys.exit(1) client = MCPClient() try: await client.connect_to_server(sys.argv[1]) await client.chat_loop() finally: await client.cleanup() if __name__ == "__main__": import sys asyncio.run(main()) ``` You can find the complete `client.py` file [here.](https://gist.github.com/zckly/f3f28ea731e096e53b39b47bf0a2d4b1) ## Key Components Explained ### 1. Client Initialization * The `MCPClient` class initializes with session management and API clients * Uses `AsyncExitStack` for proper resource management * Configures the Anthropic client for Claude interactions ### 2. Server Connection * Supports both Python and Node.js servers * Validates server script type * Sets up proper communication channels * Initializes the session and lists available tools ### 3. Query Processing * Maintains conversation context * Handles Claude's responses and tool calls * Manages the message flow between Claude and tools * Combines results into a coherent response ### 4. Interactive Interface * Provides a simple command-line interface * Handles user input and displays responses * Includes basic error handling * Allows graceful exit ### 5. Resource Management * Proper cleanup of resources * Error handling for connection issues * Graceful shutdown procedures ## Common Customization Points 1. **Tool Handling** * Modify `process_query()` to handle specific tool types * Add custom error handling for tool calls * Implement tool-specific response formatting 2. **Response Processing** * Customize how tool results are formatted * Add response filtering or transformation * Implement custom logging 3. **User Interface** * Add a GUI or web interface * Implement rich console output * Add command history or auto-completion ## Running the Client To run your client with any MCP server: ```bash uv run client.py path/to/server.py # python server uv run client.py path/to/build/index.js # node server ``` <Note> If you're continuing the weather tutorial from the server quickstart, your command might look something like this: `python client.py .../weather/src/weather/server.py` </Note> The client will: 1. Connect to the specified server 2. List available tools 3. Start an interactive chat session where you can: * Enter queries * See tool executions * Get responses from Claude Here's an example of what it should look like if connected to the weather server from the server quickstart: <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/client-claude-cli-python.png" /> </Frame> ## How It Works When you submit a query: 1. The client gets the list of available tools from the server 2. Your query is sent to Claude along with tool descriptions 3. Claude decides which tools (if any) to use 4. The client executes any requested tool calls through the server 5. Results are sent back to Claude 6. Claude provides a natural language response 7. The response is displayed to you ## Best practices 1. **Error Handling** * Always wrap tool calls in try-catch blocks * Provide meaningful error messages * Gracefully handle connection issues 2. **Resource Management** * Use `AsyncExitStack` for proper cleanup * Close connections when done * Handle server disconnections 3. **Security** * Store API keys securely in `.env` * Validate server responses * Be cautious with tool permissions ## Troubleshooting ### Server Path Issues * Double-check the path to your server script is correct * Use the absolute path if the relative path isn't working * For Windows users, make sure to use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\) in the path * Verify the server file has the correct extension (.py for Python or .js for Node.js) Example of correct path usage: ```bash # Relative path uv run client.py ./server/weather.py # Absolute path uv run client.py /Users/username/projects/mcp-server/weather.py # Windows path (either format works) uv run client.py C:/projects/mcp-server/weather.py uv run client.py C:\\projects\\mcp-server\\weather.py ``` ### Response Timing * The first response might take up to 30 seconds to return * This is normal and happens while: * The server initializes * Claude processes the query * Tools are being executed * Subsequent responses are typically faster * Don't interrupt the process during this initial waiting period ### Common Error Messages If you see: * `FileNotFoundError`: Check your server path * `Connection refused`: Ensure the server is running and the path is correct * `Tool execution failed`: Verify the tool's required environment variables are set * `Timeout error`: Consider increasing the timeout in your client configuration </Tab> <Tab title="Node"> [You can find the complete code for this tutorial here.](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources/tree/main/mcp-client-typescript) ## System Requirements Before starting, ensure your system meets these requirements: * Mac or Windows computer * Node.js 16 or higher installed * Latest version of `npm` installed * Anthropic API key (Claude) ## Setting Up Your Environment First, let's create and set up our project: <CodeGroup> ```bash MacOS/Linux # Create project directory mkdir mcp-client-typescript cd mcp-client-typescript # Initialize npm project npm init -y # Install dependencies npm install @anthropic-ai/sdk @modelcontextprotocol/sdk dotenv # Install dev dependencies npm install -D @types/node typescript # Create source file touch index.ts ``` ```powershell Windows # Create project directory md mcp-client-typescript cd mcp-client-typescript # Initialize npm project npm init -y # Install dependencies npm install @anthropic-ai/sdk @modelcontextprotocol/sdk dotenv # Install dev dependencies npm install -D @types/node typescript # Create source file new-item index.ts ``` </CodeGroup> Update your `package.json` to set `type: "module"` and a build script: ```json package.json { "type": "module", "scripts": { "build": "tsc && chmod 755 build/index.js" } } ``` Create a `tsconfig.json` in the root of your project: ```json tsconfig.json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "module": "Node16", "moduleResolution": "Node16", "outDir": "./build", "rootDir": "./", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true }, "include": ["index.ts"], "exclude": ["node_modules"] } ``` ## Setting Up Your API Key You'll need an Anthropic API key from the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys). Create a `.env` file to store it: ```bash echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your key here>" > .env ``` Add `.env` to your `.gitignore`: ```bash echo ".env" >> .gitignore ``` <Warning> Make sure you keep your `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` secure! </Warning> ## Creating the Client ### Basic Client Structure First, let's set up our imports and create the basic client class in `index.ts`: ```typescript import { Anthropic } from "@anthropic-ai/sdk"; import { MessageParam, Tool, } from "@anthropic-ai/sdk/resources/messages/messages.mjs"; import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"; import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js"; import readline from "readline/promises"; import dotenv from "dotenv"; dotenv.config(); const ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY; if (!ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) { throw new Error("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set"); } class MCPClient { private mcp: Client; private anthropic: Anthropic; private transport: StdioClientTransport | null = null; private tools: Tool[] = []; constructor() { this.anthropic = new Anthropic({ apiKey: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, }); this.mcp = new Client({ name: "mcp-client-cli", version: "1.0.0" }); } // methods will go here } ``` ### Server Connection Management Next, we'll implement the method to connect to an MCP server: ```typescript async connectToServer(serverScriptPath: string) { try { const isJs = serverScriptPath.endsWith(".js"); const isPy = serverScriptPath.endsWith(".py"); if (!isJs && !isPy) { throw new Error("Server script must be a .js or .py file"); } const command = isPy ? process.platform === "win32" ? "python" : "python3" : process.execPath; this.transport = new StdioClientTransport({ command, args: [serverScriptPath], }); this.mcp.connect(this.transport); const toolsResult = await this.mcp.listTools(); this.tools = toolsResult.tools.map((tool) => { return { name: tool.name, description: tool.description, input_schema: tool.inputSchema, }; }); console.log( "Connected to server with tools:", this.tools.map(({ name }) => name) ); } catch (e) { console.log("Failed to connect to MCP server: ", e); throw e; } } ``` ### Query Processing Logic Now let's add the core functionality for processing queries and handling tool calls: ```typescript async processQuery(query: string) { const messages: MessageParam[] = [ { role: "user", content: query, }, ]; const response = await this.anthropic.messages.create({ model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", max_tokens: 1000, messages, tools: this.tools, }); const finalText = []; const toolResults = []; for (const content of response.content) { if (content.type === "text") { finalText.push(content.text); } else if (content.type === "tool_use") { const toolName = content.name; const toolArgs = content.input as { [x: string]: unknown } | undefined; const result = await this.mcp.callTool({ name: toolName, arguments: toolArgs, }); toolResults.push(result); finalText.push( `[Calling tool ${toolName} with args ${JSON.stringify(toolArgs)}]` ); messages.push({ role: "user", content: result.content as string, }); const response = await this.anthropic.messages.create({ model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", max_tokens: 1000, messages, }); finalText.push( response.content[0].type === "text" ? response.content[0].text : "" ); } } return finalText.join("\n"); } ``` ### Interactive Chat Interface Now we'll add the chat loop and cleanup functionality: ```typescript async chatLoop() { const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, }); try { console.log("\nMCP Client Started!"); console.log("Type your queries or 'quit' to exit."); while (true) { const message = await rl.question("\nQuery: "); if (message.toLowerCase() === "quit") { break; } const response = await this.processQuery(message); console.log("\n" + response); } } finally { rl.close(); } } async cleanup() { await this.mcp.close(); } ``` ### Main Entry Point Finally, we'll add the main execution logic: ```typescript async function main() { if (process.argv.length < 3) { console.log("Usage: node index.ts <path_to_server_script>"); return; } const mcpClient = new MCPClient(); try { await mcpClient.connectToServer(process.argv[2]); await mcpClient.chatLoop(); } finally { await mcpClient.cleanup(); process.exit(0); } } main(); ``` ## Running the Client To run your client with any MCP server: ```bash # Build TypeScript npm run build # Run the client node build/index.js path/to/server.py # python server node build/index.js path/to/build/index.js # node server ``` <Note> If you're continuing the weather tutorial from the server quickstart, your command might look something like this: `node build/index.js .../quickstart-resources/weather-server-typescript/build/index.js` </Note> **The client will:** 1. Connect to the specified server 2. List available tools 3. Start an interactive chat session where you can: * Enter queries * See tool executions * Get responses from Claude ## How It Works When you submit a query: 1. The client gets the list of available tools from the server 2. Your query is sent to Claude along with tool descriptions 3. Claude decides which tools (if any) to use 4. The client executes any requested tool calls through the server 5. Results are sent back to Claude 6. Claude provides a natural language response 7. The response is displayed to you ## Best practices 1. **Error Handling** * Use TypeScript's type system for better error detection * Wrap tool calls in try-catch blocks * Provide meaningful error messages * Gracefully handle connection issues 2. **Security** * Store API keys securely in `.env` * Validate server responses * Be cautious with tool permissions ## Troubleshooting ### Server Path Issues * Double-check the path to your server script is correct * Use the absolute path if the relative path isn't working * For Windows users, make sure to use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\) in the path * Verify the server file has the correct extension (.js for Node.js or .py for Python) Example of correct path usage: ```bash # Relative path node build/index.js ./server/build/index.js # Absolute path node build/index.js /Users/username/projects/mcp-server/build/index.js # Windows path (either format works) node build/index.js C:/projects/mcp-server/build/index.js node build/index.js C:\\projects\\mcp-server\\build\\index.js ``` ### Response Timing * The first response might take up to 30 seconds to return * This is normal and happens while: * The server initializes * Claude processes the query * Tools are being executed * Subsequent responses are typically faster * Don't interrupt the process during this initial waiting period ### Common Error Messages If you see: * `Error: Cannot find module`: Check your build folder and ensure TypeScript compilation succeeded * `Connection refused`: Ensure the server is running and the path is correct * `Tool execution failed`: Verify the tool's required environment variables are set * `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set`: Check your .env file and environment variables * `TypeError`: Ensure you're using the correct types for tool arguments </Tab> <Tab title="Java"> <Note> This is a quickstart demo based on Spring AI MCP auto-configuration and boot starters. To learn how to create sync and async MCP Clients manually, consult the [Java SDK Client](/sdk/java/mcp-client) documentation </Note> This example demonstrates how to build an interactive chatbot that combines Spring AI's Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the [Brave Search MCP Server](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/brave-search). The application creates a conversational interface powered by Anthropic's Claude AI model that can perform internet searches through Brave Search, enabling natural language interactions with real-time web data. [You can find the complete code for this tutorial here.](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ai-examples/tree/main/model-context-protocol/web-search/brave-chatbot) ## System Requirements Before starting, ensure your system meets these requirements: * Java 17 or higher * Maven 3.6+ * npx package manager * Anthropic API key (Claude) * Brave Search API key ## Setting Up Your Environment 1. Install npx (Node Package eXecute): First, make sure to install [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) and then run: ```bash npm install -g npx ``` 2. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ai-examples.git cd model-context-protocol/brave-chatbot ``` 3. Set up your API keys: ```bash export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='your-anthropic-api-key-here' export BRAVE_API_KEY='your-brave-api-key-here' ``` 4. Build the application: ```bash ./mvnw clean install ``` 5. Run the application using Maven: ```bash ./mvnw spring-boot:run ``` <Warning> Make sure you keep your `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `BRAVE_API_KEY` keys secure! </Warning> ## How it Works The application integrates Spring AI with the Brave Search MCP server through several components: ### MCP Client Configuration 1. Required dependencies in pom.xml: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ai-mcp-client-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ai-anthropic-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> ``` 2. Application properties (application.yml): ```yml spring: ai: mcp: client: enabled: true name: brave-search-client version: 1.0.0 type: SYNC request-timeout: 20s stdio: root-change-notification: true servers-configuration: classpath:/mcp-servers-config.json anthropic: api-key: ${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY} ``` This activates the `spring-ai-mcp-client-spring-boot-starter` to create one or more `McpClient`s based on the provided server configuration. 3. MCP Server Configuration (`mcp-servers-config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "brave-search": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search" ], "env": { "BRAVE_API_KEY": "<PUT YOUR BRAVE API KEY>" } } } } ``` ### Chat Implementation The chatbot is implemented using Spring AI's ChatClient with MCP tool integration: ```java var chatClient = chatClientBuilder .defaultSystem("You are useful assistant, expert in AI and Java.") .defaultTools((Object[]) mcpToolAdapter.toolCallbacks()) .defaultAdvisors(new MessageChatMemoryAdvisor(new InMemoryChatMemory())) .build(); ``` Key features: * Uses Claude AI model for natural language understanding * Integrates Brave Search through MCP for real-time web search capabilities * Maintains conversation memory using InMemoryChatMemory * Runs as an interactive command-line application ### Build and run ```bash ./mvnw clean install java -jar ./target/ai-mcp-brave-chatbot-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar ``` or ```bash ./mvnw spring-boot:run ``` The application will start an interactive chat session where you can ask questions. The chatbot will use Brave Search when it needs to find information from the internet to answer your queries. The chatbot can: * Answer questions using its built-in knowledge * Perform web searches when needed using Brave Search * Remember context from previous messages in the conversation * Combine information from multiple sources to provide comprehensive answers ### Advanced Configuration The MCP client supports additional configuration options: * Client customization through `McpSyncClientCustomizer` or `McpAsyncClientCustomizer` * Multiple clients with multiple transport types: `STDIO` and `SSE` (Server-Sent Events) * Integration with Spring AI's tool execution framework * Automatic client initialization and lifecycle management For WebFlux-based applications, you can use the WebFlux starter instead: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ai-mcp-client-webflux-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> ``` This provides similar functionality but uses a WebFlux-based SSE transport implementation, recommended for production deployments. </Tab> </Tabs> ## Next steps <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Example servers" icon="grid" href="/examples"> Check out our gallery of official MCP servers and implementations </Card> <Card title="Clients" icon="cubes" href="/clients"> View the list of clients that support MCP integrations </Card> <Card title="Building MCP with LLMs" icon="comments" href="/tutorials/building-mcp-with-llms"> Learn how to use LLMs like Claude to speed up your MCP development </Card> <Card title="Core architecture" icon="sitemap" href="/docs/concepts/architecture"> Understand how MCP connects clients, servers, and LLMs </Card> </CardGroup> # For Server Developers Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server Get started building your own server to use in Claude for Desktop and other clients. In this tutorial, we'll build a simple MCP weather server and connect it to a host, Claude for Desktop. We'll start with a basic setup, and then progress to more complex use cases. ### What we'll be building Many LLMs (including Claude) do not currently have the ability to fetch the forecast and severe weather alerts. Let's use MCP to solve that! We'll build a server that exposes two tools: `get-alerts` and `get-forecast`. Then we'll connect the server to an MCP host (in this case, Claude for Desktop): <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/weather-alerts.png" /> </Frame> <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/current-weather.png" /> </Frame> <Note> Servers can connect to any client. We've chosen Claude for Desktop here for simplicity, but we also have guides on [building your own client](/quickstart/client) as well as a [list of other clients here](/clients). </Note> <Accordion title="Why Claude for Desktop and not Claude.ai?"> Because servers are locally run, MCP currently only supports desktop hosts. Remote hosts are in active development. </Accordion> ### Core MCP Concepts MCP servers can provide three main types of capabilities: 1. **Resources**: File-like data that can be read by clients (like API responses or file contents) 2. **Tools**: Functions that can be called by the LLM (with user approval) 3. **Prompts**: Pre-written templates that help users accomplish specific tasks This tutorial will primarily focus on tools. <Tabs> <Tab title="Python"> Let's get started with building our weather server! [You can find the complete code for what we'll be building here.](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources/tree/main/weather-server-python) ### Prerequisite knowledge This quickstart assumes you have familiarity with: * Python * LLMs like Claude ### System requirements * Python 3.10 or higher installed. * You must use the Python MCP SDK 1.2.0 or higher. ### Set up your environment First, let's install `uv` and set up our Python project and environment: <CodeGroup> ```bash MacOS/Linux curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh ``` ```powershell Windows powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" ``` </CodeGroup> Make sure to restart your terminal afterwards to ensure that the `uv` command gets picked up. Now, let's create and set up our project: <CodeGroup> ```bash MacOS/Linux # Create a new directory for our project uv init weather cd weather # Create virtual environment and activate it uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx # Create our server file touch weather.py ``` ```powershell Windows # Create a new directory for our project uv init weather cd weather # Create virtual environment and activate it uv venv .venv\Scripts\activate # Install dependencies uv add mcp[cli] httpx # Create our server file new-item weather.py ``` </CodeGroup> Now let's dive into building your server. ## Building your server ### Importing packages and setting up the instance Add these to the top of your `weather.py`: ```python from typing import Any import httpx from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP # Initialize FastMCP server mcp = FastMCP("weather") # Constants NWS_API_BASE = "https://api.weather.gov" USER_AGENT = "weather-app/1.0" ``` The FastMCP class uses Python type hints and docstrings to automatically generate tool definitions, making it easy to create and maintain MCP tools. ### Helper functions Next, let's add our helper functions for querying and formatting the data from the National Weather Service API: ```python async def make_nws_request(url: str) -> dict[str, Any] | None: """Make a request to the NWS API with proper error handling.""" headers = { "User-Agent": USER_AGENT, "Accept": "application/geo+json" } async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client: try: response = await client.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=30.0) response.raise_for_status() return response.json() except Exception: return None def format_alert(feature: dict) -> str: """Format an alert feature into a readable string.""" props = feature["properties"] return f""" Event: {props.get('event', 'Unknown')} Area: {props.get('areaDesc', 'Unknown')} Severity: {props.get('severity', 'Unknown')} Description: {props.get('description', 'No description available')} Instructions: {props.get('instruction', 'No specific instructions provided')} """ ``` ### Implementing tool execution The tool execution handler is responsible for actually executing the logic of each tool. Let's add it: ```python @mcp.tool() async def get_alerts(state: str) -> str: """Get weather alerts for a US state. Args: state: Two-letter US state code (e.g. CA, NY) """ url = f"{NWS_API_BASE}/alerts/active/area/{state}" data = await make_nws_request(url) if not data or "features" not in data: return "Unable to fetch alerts or no alerts found." if not data["features"]: return "No active alerts for this state." alerts = [format_alert(feature) for feature in data["features"]] return "\n---\n".join(alerts) @mcp.tool() async def get_forecast(latitude: float, longitude: float) -> str: """Get weather forecast for a location. Args: latitude: Latitude of the location longitude: Longitude of the location """ # First get the forecast grid endpoint points_url = f"{NWS_API_BASE}/points/{latitude},{longitude}" points_data = await make_nws_request(points_url) if not points_data: return "Unable to fetch forecast data for this location." # Get the forecast URL from the points response forecast_url = points_data["properties"]["forecast"] forecast_data = await make_nws_request(forecast_url) if not forecast_data: return "Unable to fetch detailed forecast." # Format the periods into a readable forecast periods = forecast_data["properties"]["periods"] forecasts = [] for period in periods[:5]: # Only show next 5 periods forecast = f""" {period['name']}: Temperature: {period['temperature']}°{period['temperatureUnit']} Wind: {period['windSpeed']} {period['windDirection']} Forecast: {period['detailedForecast']} """ forecasts.append(forecast) return "\n---\n".join(forecasts) ``` ### Running the server Finally, let's initialize and run the server: ```python if __name__ == "__main__": # Initialize and run the server mcp.run(transport='stdio') ``` Your server is complete! Run `uv run weather.py` to confirm that everything's working. Let's now test your server from an existing MCP host, Claude for Desktop. ## Testing your server with Claude for Desktop <Note> Claude for Desktop is not yet available on Linux. Linux users can proceed to the [Building a client](/quickstart/client) tutorial to build an MCP client that connects to the server we just built. </Note> First, make sure you have Claude for Desktop installed. [You can install the latest version here.](https://claude.ai/download) If you already have Claude for Desktop, **make sure it's updated to the latest version.** We'll need to configure Claude for Desktop for whichever MCP servers you want to use. To do this, open your Claude for Desktop App configuration at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` in a text editor. Make sure to create the file if it doesn't exist. For example, if you have [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```bash code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```powershell code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> </Tabs> You'll then add your servers in the `mcpServers` key. The MCP UI elements will only show up in Claude for Desktop if at least one server is properly configured. In this case, we'll add our single weather server like so: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```json Python { "mcpServers": { "weather": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/weather", "run", "weather.py" ] } } } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```json Python { "mcpServers": { "weather": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\weather", "run", "weather.py" ] } } } ``` </Tab> </Tabs> <Warning> You may need to put the full path to the `uv` executable in the `command` field. You can get this by running `which uv` on MacOS/Linux or `where uv` on Windows. </Warning> <Note> Make sure you pass in the absolute path to your server. </Note> This tells Claude for Desktop: 1. There's an MCP server named "weather" 2. To launch it by running `uv --directory /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/weather run weather.py` Save the file, and restart **Claude for Desktop**. </Tab> <Tab title="Node"> Let's get started with building our weather server! [You can find the complete code for what we'll be building here.](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources/tree/main/weather-server-typescript) ### Prerequisite knowledge This quickstart assumes you have familiarity with: * TypeScript * LLMs like Claude ### System requirements For TypeScript, make sure you have the latest version of Node installed. ### Set up your environment First, let's install Node.js and npm if you haven't already. You can download them from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/). Verify your Node.js installation: ```bash node --version npm --version ``` For this tutorial, you'll need Node.js version 16 or higher. Now, let's create and set up our project: <CodeGroup> ```bash MacOS/Linux # Create a new directory for our project mkdir weather cd weather # Initialize a new npm project npm init -y # Install dependencies npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod npm install -D @types/node typescript # Create our files mkdir src touch src/index.ts ``` ```powershell Windows # Create a new directory for our project md weather cd weather # Initialize a new npm project npm init -y # Install dependencies npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod npm install -D @types/node typescript # Create our files md src new-item src\index.ts ``` </CodeGroup> Update your package.json to add type: "module" and a build script: ```json package.json { "type": "module", "bin": { "weather": "./build/index.js" }, "scripts": { "build": "tsc && chmod 755 build/index.js" }, "files": [ "build" ], } ``` Create a `tsconfig.json` in the root of your project: ```json tsconfig.json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "module": "Node16", "moduleResolution": "Node16", "outDir": "./build", "rootDir": "./src", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true }, "include": ["src/**/*"], "exclude": ["node_modules"] } ``` Now let's dive into building your server. ## Building your server ### Importing packages and setting up the instance Add these to the top of your `src/index.ts`: ```typescript import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; import { z } from "zod"; const NWS_API_BASE = "https://api.weather.gov"; const USER_AGENT = "weather-app/1.0"; // Create server instance const server = new McpServer({ name: "weather", version: "1.0.0", }); ``` ### Helper functions Next, let's add our helper functions for querying and formatting the data from the National Weather Service API: ```typescript // Helper function for making NWS API requests async function makeNWSRequest<T>(url: string): Promise<T | null> { const headers = { "User-Agent": USER_AGENT, Accept: "application/geo+json", }; try { const response = await fetch(url, { headers }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`); } return (await response.json()) as T; } catch (error) { console.error("Error making NWS request:", error); return null; } } interface AlertFeature { properties: { event?: string; areaDesc?: string; severity?: string; status?: string; headline?: string; }; } // Format alert data function formatAlert(feature: AlertFeature): string { const props = feature.properties; return [ `Event: ${props.event || "Unknown"}`, `Area: ${props.areaDesc || "Unknown"}`, `Severity: ${props.severity || "Unknown"}`, `Status: ${props.status || "Unknown"}`, `Headline: ${props.headline || "No headline"}`, "---", ].join("\n"); } interface ForecastPeriod { name?: string; temperature?: number; temperatureUnit?: string; windSpeed?: string; windDirection?: string; shortForecast?: string; } interface AlertsResponse { features: AlertFeature[]; } interface PointsResponse { properties: { forecast?: string; }; } interface ForecastResponse { properties: { periods: ForecastPeriod[]; }; } ``` ### Implementing tool execution The tool execution handler is responsible for actually executing the logic of each tool. Let's add it: ```typescript // Register weather tools server.tool( "get-alerts", "Get weather alerts for a state", { state: z.string().length(2).describe("Two-letter state code (e.g. CA, NY)"), }, async ({ state }) => { const stateCode = state.toUpperCase(); const alertsUrl = `${NWS_API_BASE}/alerts?area=${stateCode}`; const alertsData = await makeNWSRequest<AlertsResponse>(alertsUrl); if (!alertsData) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Failed to retrieve alerts data", }, ], }; } const features = alertsData.features || []; if (features.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `No active alerts for ${stateCode}`, }, ], }; } const formattedAlerts = features.map(formatAlert); const alertsText = `Active alerts for ${stateCode}:\n\n${formattedAlerts.join("\n")}`; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: alertsText, }, ], }; }, ); server.tool( "get-forecast", "Get weather forecast for a location", { latitude: z.number().min(-90).max(90).describe("Latitude of the location"), longitude: z.number().min(-180).max(180).describe("Longitude of the location"), }, async ({ latitude, longitude }) => { // Get grid point data const pointsUrl = `${NWS_API_BASE}/points/${latitude.toFixed(4)},${longitude.toFixed(4)}`; const pointsData = await makeNWSRequest<PointsResponse>(pointsUrl); if (!pointsData) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to retrieve grid point data for coordinates: ${latitude}, ${longitude}. This location may not be supported by the NWS API (only US locations are supported).`, }, ], }; } const forecastUrl = pointsData.properties?.forecast; if (!forecastUrl) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Failed to get forecast URL from grid point data", }, ], }; } // Get forecast data const forecastData = await makeNWSRequest<ForecastResponse>(forecastUrl); if (!forecastData) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Failed to retrieve forecast data", }, ], }; } const periods = forecastData.properties?.periods || []; if (periods.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No forecast periods available", }, ], }; } // Format forecast periods const formattedForecast = periods.map((period: ForecastPeriod) => [ `${period.name || "Unknown"}:`, `Temperature: ${period.temperature || "Unknown"}°${period.temperatureUnit || "F"}`, `Wind: ${period.windSpeed || "Unknown"} ${period.windDirection || ""}`, `${period.shortForecast || "No forecast available"}`, "---", ].join("\n"), ); const forecastText = `Forecast for ${latitude}, ${longitude}:\n\n${formattedForecast.join("\n")}`; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: forecastText, }, ], }; }, ); ``` ### Running the server Finally, implement the main function to run the server: ```typescript async function main() { const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport); console.error("Weather MCP Server running on stdio"); } main().catch((error) => { console.error("Fatal error in main():", error); process.exit(1); }); ``` Make sure to run `npm run build` to build your server! This is a very important step in getting your server to connect. Let's now test your server from an existing MCP host, Claude for Desktop. ## Testing your server with Claude for Desktop <Note> Claude for Desktop is not yet available on Linux. Linux users can proceed to the [Building a client](/quickstart/client) tutorial to build an MCP client that connects to the server we just built. </Note> First, make sure you have Claude for Desktop installed. [You can install the latest version here.](https://claude.ai/download) If you already have Claude for Desktop, **make sure it's updated to the latest version.** We'll need to configure Claude for Desktop for whichever MCP servers you want to use. To do this, open your Claude for Desktop App configuration at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` in a text editor. Make sure to create the file if it doesn't exist. For example, if you have [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```bash code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```powershell code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> </Tabs> You'll then add your servers in the `mcpServers` key. The MCP UI elements will only show up in Claude for Desktop if at least one server is properly configured. In this case, we'll add our single weather server like so: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> <CodeGroup> ```json Node { "mcpServers": { "weather": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/weather/build/index.js" ] } } } ``` </CodeGroup> </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> <CodeGroup> ```json Node { "mcpServers": { "weather": { "command": "node", "args": [ "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\weather\\build\\index.js" ] } } } ``` </CodeGroup> </Tab> </Tabs> This tells Claude for Desktop: 1. There's an MCP server named "weather" 2. Launch it by running `node /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/weather/build/index.js` Save the file, and restart **Claude for Desktop**. </Tab> <Tab title="Java"> <Note> This is a quickstart demo based on Spring AI MCP auto-configuration and boot starters. To learn how to create sync and async MCP Servers, manually, consult the [Java SDK Server](/sdk/java/mcp-server) documentation. </Note> Let's get started with building our weather server! [You can find the complete code for what we'll be building here.](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ai-examples/tree/main/model-context-protocol/weather/starter-stdio-server) For more information, see the [MCP Server Boot Starter](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/mcp/mcp-server-boot-starter-docs.html) reference documentation. For manual MCP Server implementation, refer to the [MCP Server Java SDK documentation](/sdk/java/mcp-server). ### System requirements * Java 17 or higher installed. * [Spring Boot 3.3.x](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/installing.html) or higher ### Set up your environment Use the [Spring Initizer](https://start.spring.io/) to bootstrat the project. You will need to add the following dependencies: <Tabs> <Tab title="Maven"> ```xml <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ai-mcp-server-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Gradle"> ```groovy dependencies { implementation platform("org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-mcp-server-spring-boot-starter") implementation platform("org.springframework:spring-web") } ``` </Tab> </Tabs> Then configure your application by setting the applicaiton properties: <CodeGroup> ```bash application.properties spring.main.bannerMode=off logging.pattern.console= ``` ```yaml application.yml logging: pattern: console: spring: main: banner-mode: off ``` </CodeGroup> The [Server Configuration Properties](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/mcp/mcp-server-boot-starter-docs.html#_configuration_properties) documents all available properties. Now let's dive into building your server. ## Building your server ### Weather Service Let's implement a [WeatheService.java](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ai-examples/blob/main/model-context-protocol/weather/starter-stdio-server/src/main/java/org/springframework/ai/mcp/sample/server/WeatherService.java) that uses a REST client to query the data from the National Weather Service API: ```java @Service public class WeatherService { private final RestClient restClient; public WeatherService() { this.restClient = RestClient.builder() .baseUrl("https://api.weather.gov") .defaultHeader("Accept", "application/geo+json") .defaultHeader("User-Agent", "WeatherApiClient/1.0 (your@email.com)") .build(); } @Tool(description = "Get weather forecast for a specific latitude/longitude") public String getWeatherForecastByLocation( double latitude, // Latitude coordinate double longitude // Longitude coordinate ) { // Returns detailed forecast including: // - Temperature and unit // - Wind speed and direction // - Detailed forecast description } @Tool(description = "Get weather alerts for a US state") public String getAlerts( @ToolParam(description = "Two-letter US state code (e.g. CA, NY") String state) ) { // Returns active alerts including: // - Event type // - Affected area // - Severity // - Description // - Safety instructions } // ...... } ``` The `@Service` annotation with auto-register the service in your applicaiton context. The Spring AI `@Tool` annotation, making it easy to create and maintain MCP tools. The auto-configuration will automatically register these tools with the MCP server. ### Create your Boot Applicaiton ```java @SpringBootApplication public class McpServerApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(McpServerApplication.class, args); } @Bean public ToolCallbackProvider weatherTools(WeatherService weatherService) { return MethodToolCallbackProvider.builder().toolObjects(weatherService).build(); } } ``` Uses the the `MethodToolCallbackProvider` utils to convert the `@Tools` into actionalble callbackes used by the MCP server. ### Running the server Finally, let's build the server: ```bash ./mvnw clean install ``` This will generate a `mcp-weather-stdio-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` file within the `target` folder. Let's now test your server from an existing MCP host, Claude for Desktop. ## Testing your server with Claude for Desktop <Note> Claude for Desktop is not yet available on Linux. </Note> First, make sure you have Claude for Desktop installed. [You can install the latest version here.](https://claude.ai/download) If you already have Claude for Desktop, **make sure it's updated to the latest version.** We'll need to configure Claude for Desktop for whichever MCP servers you want to use. To do this, open your Claude for Desktop App configuration at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` in a text editor. Make sure to create the file if it doesn't exist. For example, if you have [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```bash code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```powershell code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json ``` </Tab> </Tabs> You'll then add your servers in the `mcpServers` key. The MCP UI elements will only show up in Claude for Desktop if at least one server is properly configured. In this case, we'll add our single weather server like so: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```json java { "mcpServers": { "spring-ai-mcp-weather": { "command": "java", "args": [ "-Dspring.ai.mcp.server.stdio=true", "-jar", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/mcp-weather-stdio-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" ] } } } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```json java { "mcpServers": { "spring-ai-mcp-weather": { "command": "java", "args": [ "-Dspring.ai.mcp.server.transport=STDIO", "-jar", "C:\\ABSOLUTE\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\weather\\mcp-weather-stdio-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" ] } } } ``` </Tab> </Tabs> <Note> Make sure you pass in the absolute path to your server. </Note> This tells Claude for Desktop: 1. There's an MCP server named "my-weather-server" 2. To launch it by running `java -jar /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/mcp-weather-stdio-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` Save the file, and restart **Claude for Desktop**. ## Testing your server with Java client ### Create a MCP Client manually Use the `McpClient` to connect to the server: ```java var stdioParams = ServerParameters.builder("java") .args("-jar", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/mcp-weather-stdio-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar") .build(); var stdioTransport = new StdioClientTransport(stdioParams); var mcpClient = McpClient.sync(stdioTransport).build(); mcpClient.initialize(); ListToolsResult toolsList = mcpClient.listTools(); CallToolResult weather = mcpClient.callTool( new CallToolRequest("getWeatherForecastByLocation", Map.of("latitude", "47.6062", "longitude", "-122.3321"))); CallToolResult alert = mcpClient.callTool( new CallToolRequest("getAlerts", Map.of("state", "NY"))); mcpClient.closeGracefully(); ``` ### Use MCP Client Boot Starter Create a new boot starter applicaiton using the `spring-ai-mcp-client-spring-boot-starter` dependency: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ai-mcp-client-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> ``` and set the `spring.ai.mcp.client.stdio.servers-configuration` property to point to your `claude_desktop_config.json`. You can re-use the existing Anthropic Destop configuration: ```properties spring.ai.mcp.client.stdio.servers-configuration=file:PATH/TO/claude_desktop_config.json ``` When you stasrt your client applicaiton, the auto-configuration will create, automatically MCP clients from the claude\_desktop\_config.json. For more information, see the [MCP Client Boot Starters](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/mcp/mcp-server-boot-client-docs.html) reference documentation. ## More Java MCP Server examples The [starter-webflux-server](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ai-examples/tree/main/model-context-protocol/weather/starter-webflux-server) demonstrates how to create a MCP server using SSE transport. It showcases how to define and register MCP Tools, Resources, and Prompts, using the Spring Boot's auto-configuration capabilities. </Tab> </Tabs> ### Test with commands Let's make sure Claude for Desktop is picking up the two tools we've exposed in our `weather` server. You can do this by looking for the hammer <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/claude-desktop-mcp-hammer-icon.svg" style={{display: 'inline', margin: 0, height: '1.3em'}} /> icon: <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/visual-indicator-mcp-tools.png" /> </Frame> After clicking on the hammer icon, you should see two tools listed: <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/available-mcp-tools.png" /> </Frame> If your server isn't being picked up by Claude for Desktop, proceed to the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section for debugging tips. If the hammer icon has shown up, you can now test your server by running the following commands in Claude for Desktop: * What's the weather in Sacramento? * What are the active weather alerts in Texas? <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/current-weather.png" /> </Frame> <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/weather-alerts.png" /> </Frame> <Note> Since this is the US National Weather service, the queries will only work for US locations. </Note> ## What's happening under the hood When you ask a question: 1. The client sends your question to Claude 2. Claude analyzes the available tools and decides which one(s) to use 3. The client executes the chosen tool(s) through the MCP server 4. The results are sent back to Claude 5. Claude formulates a natural language response 6. The response is displayed to you! ## Troubleshooting <AccordionGroup> <Accordion title="Claude for Desktop Integration Issues"> **Getting logs from Claude for Desktop** Claude.app logging related to MCP is written to log files in `~/Library/Logs/Claude`: * `mcp.log` will contain general logging about MCP connections and connection failures. * Files named `mcp-server-SERVERNAME.log` will contain error (stderr) logging from the named server. You can run the following command to list recent logs and follow along with any new ones: ```bash # Check Claude's logs for errors tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log ``` **Server not showing up in Claude** 1. Check your `claude_desktop_config.json` file syntax 2. Make sure the path to your project is absolute and not relative 3. Restart Claude for Desktop completely **Tool calls failing silently** If Claude attempts to use the tools but they fail: 1. Check Claude's logs for errors 2. Verify your server builds and runs without errors 3. Try restarting Claude for Desktop **None of this is working. What do I do?** Please refer to our [debugging guide](/docs/tools/debugging) for better debugging tools and more detailed guidance. </Accordion> <Accordion title="Weather API Issues"> **Error: Failed to retrieve grid point data** This usually means either: 1. The coordinates are outside the US 2. The NWS API is having issues 3. You're being rate limited Fix: * Verify you're using US coordinates * Add a small delay between requests * Check the NWS API status page **Error: No active alerts for \[STATE]** This isn't an error - it just means there are no current weather alerts for that state. Try a different state or check during severe weather. </Accordion> </AccordionGroup> <Note> For more advanced troubleshooting, check out our guide on [Debugging MCP](/docs/tools/debugging) </Note> ## Next steps <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="Building a client" icon="outlet" href="/quickstart/client"> Learn how to build your own MCP client that can connect to your server </Card> <Card title="Example servers" icon="grid" href="/examples"> Check out our gallery of official MCP servers and implementations </Card> <Card title="Debugging Guide" icon="bug" href="/docs/tools/debugging"> Learn how to effectively debug MCP servers and integrations </Card> <Card title="Building MCP with LLMs" icon="comments" href="/tutorials/building-mcp-with-llms"> Learn how to use LLMs like Claude to speed up your MCP development </Card> </CardGroup> # For Claude Desktop Users Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user Get started using pre-built servers in Claude for Desktop. In this tutorial, you will extend [Claude for Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) so that it can read from your computer's file system, write new files, move files, and even search files. <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-filesystem.png" /> </Frame> Don't worry — it will ask you for your permission before executing these actions! ## 1. Download Claude for Desktop Start by downloading [Claude for Desktop](https://claude.ai/download), choosing either macOS or Windows. (Linux is not yet supported for Claude for Desktop.) Follow the installation instructions. If you already have Claude for Desktop, make sure it's on the latest version by clicking on the Claude menu on your computer and selecting "Check for Updates..." <Accordion title="Why Claude for Desktop and not Claude.ai?"> Because servers are locally run, MCP currently only supports desktop hosts. Remote hosts are in active development. </Accordion> ## 2. Add the Filesystem MCP Server To add this filesystem functionality, we will be installing a pre-built [Filesystem MCP Server](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem) to Claude for Desktop. This is one of dozens of [servers](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main) created by Anthropic and the community. Get started by opening up the Claude menu on your computer and select "Settings..." Please note that these are not the Claude Account Settings found in the app window itself. This is what it should look like on a Mac: <Frame style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-menu.png" width="400" /> </Frame> Click on "Developer" in the lefthand bar of the Settings pane, and then click on "Edit Config": <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-developer.png" /> </Frame> This will create a configuration file at: * macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` * Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` if you don't already have one, and will display the file in your file system. Open up the configuration file in any text editor. Replace the file contents with this: <Tabs> <Tab title="MacOS/Linux"> ```json { "mcpServers": { "filesystem": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/username/Desktop", "/Users/username/Downloads" ] } } } ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Windows"> ```json { "mcpServers": { "filesystem": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop", "C:\\Users\\username\\Downloads" ] } } } ``` </Tab> </Tabs> Make sure to replace `username` with your computer's username. The paths should point to valid directories that you want Claude to be able to access and modify. It's set up to work for Desktop and Downloads, but you can add more paths as well. You will also need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) on your computer for this to run properly. To verify you have Node installed, open the command line on your computer. * On macOS, open the Terminal from your Applications folder * On Windows, press Windows + R, type "cmd", and press Enter Once in the command line, verify you have Node installed by entering in the following command: ```bash node --version ``` If you get an error saying "command not found" or "node is not recognized", download Node from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/). <Tip> **How does the configuration file work?** This configuration file tells Claude for Desktop which MCP servers to start up every time you start the application. In this case, we have added one server called "filesystem" that will use the Node `npx` command to install and run `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem`. This server, described [here](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem), will let you access your file system in Claude for Desktop. </Tip> <Warning> **Command Privileges** Claude for Desktop will run the commands in the configuration file with the permissions of your user account, and access to your local files. Only add commands if you understand and trust the source. </Warning> ## 3. Restart Claude After updating your configuration file, you need to restart Claude for Desktop. Upon restarting, you should see a hammer <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/claude-desktop-mcp-hammer-icon.svg" style={{display: 'inline', margin: 0, height: '1.3em'}} /> icon in the bottom right corner of the input box: <Frame> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-hammer.png" /> </Frame> After clicking on the hammer icon, you should see the tools that come with the Filesystem MCP Server: <Frame style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-tools.png" width="400" /> </Frame> If your server isn't being picked up by Claude for Desktop, proceed to the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section for debugging tips. ## 4. Try it out! You can now talk to Claude and ask it about your filesystem. It should know when to call the relevant tools. Things you might try asking Claude: * Can you write a poem and save it to my desktop? * What are some work-related files in my downloads folder? * Can you take all the images on my desktop and move them to a new folder called "Images"? As needed, Claude will call the relevant tools and seek your approval before taking an action: <Frame style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}> <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/quickstart-approve.png" width="500" /> </Frame> ## Troubleshooting <AccordionGroup> <Accordion title="Server not showing up in Claude / hammer icon missing"> 1.

It implements the client-side of the protocol, handling: * Protocol version negotiation to ensure compatibility with servers * Capability negotiation to determine available features * Message transport and JSON-RPC communication * Tool discovery and execution * Resource access and management * Prompt system interactions * Optional features like roots management and sampling support The client provides both synchronous and asynchronous APIs for flexibility in different application contexts. <Tabs> <Tab title="Sync API"> ```java // Create a sync client with custom configuration McpSyncClient client = McpClient.sync(transport) .requestTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10)) .capabilities(ClientCapabilities.builder() .roots(true) // Enable roots capability .sampling() // Enable sampling capability .build()) .sampling(request -> new CreateMessageResult(response)) .build(); // Initialize connection client.initialize(); // List available tools ListToolsResult tools = client.listTools(); // Call a tool CallToolResult result = client.callTool( new CallToolRequest("calculator", Map.of("operation", "add", "a", 2, "b", 3)) ); // List and read resources ListResourcesResult resources = client.listResources(); ReadResourceResult resource = client.readResource( new ReadResourceRequest("resource://uri") ); // List and use prompts ListPromptsResult prompts = client.listPrompts(); GetPromptResult prompt = client.getPrompt( new GetPromptRequest("greeting", Map.of("name", "Spring")) ); // Add/remove roots client.addRoot(new Root("file:///path", "description")); client.removeRoot("file:///path"); // Close client client.closeGracefully(); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Async API"> ```java // Create an async client with custom configuration McpAsyncClient client = McpClient.async(transport) .requestTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10)) .capabilities(ClientCapabilities.builder() .roots(true) // Enable roots capability .sampling() // Enable sampling capability .build()) .sampling(request -> Mono.just(new CreateMessageResult(response))) .toolsChangeConsumer(tools -> Mono.fromRunnable(() -> { logger.info("Tools updated: {}", tools); })) .resourcesChangeConsumer(resources -> Mono.fromRunnable(() -> { logger.info("Resources updated: {}", resources); })) .promptsChangeConsumer(prompts -> Mono.fromRunnable(() -> { logger.info("Prompts updated: {}", prompts); })) .build(); // Initialize connection and use features client.initialize() .flatMap(initResult -> client.listTools()) .flatMap(tools -> { return client.callTool(new CallToolRequest( "calculator", Map.of("operation", "add", "a", 2, "b", 3) )); }) .flatMap(result -> { return client.listResources() .flatMap(resources -> client.readResource(new ReadResourceRequest("resource://uri")) ); }) .flatMap(resource -> { return client.listPrompts() .flatMap(prompts -> client.getPrompt(new GetPromptRequest( "greeting", Map.of("name", "Spring") )) ); }) .flatMap(prompt -> { return client.addRoot(new Root("file:///path", "description")) .then(client.removeRoot("file:///path")); }) .doFinally(signalType -> { client.closeGracefully().subscribe(); }) .subscribe(); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Client Transport The transport layer handles the communication between MCP clients and servers, providing different implementations for various use cases. The client transport manages message serialization, connection establishment, and protocol-specific communication patterns. <Tabs> <Tab title="STDIO"> Creates transport for in-process based communication ```java ServerParameters params = ServerParameters.builder("npx") .args("-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything", "dir") .build(); McpTransport transport = new StdioClientTransport(params); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="SSE (HttpClient)"> Creates a framework agnostic (pure Java API) SSE client transport. Included in the core mcp module. ```java McpTransport transport = new HttpClientSseClientTransport("http://your-mcp-server"); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="SSE (WebFlux)"> Creates WebFlux-based SSE client transport. Requires the mcp-webflux-sse-transport dependency. ```java WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder = WebClient.builder() .baseUrl("http://your-mcp-server"); McpTransport transport = new WebFluxSseClientTransport(webClientBuilder); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ## Client Capabilities The client can be configured with various capabilities: ```java var capabilities = ClientCapabilities.builder() .roots(true) // Enable filesystem roots support with list changes notifications .sampling() // Enable LLM sampling support .build(); ``` ### Roots Support Roots define the boundaries of where servers can operate within the filesystem: ```java // Add a root dynamically client.addRoot(new Root("file:///path", "description")); // Remove a root client.removeRoot("file:///path"); // Notify server of roots changes client.rootsListChangedNotification(); ``` The roots capability allows servers to: * Request the list of accessible filesystem roots * Receive notifications when the roots list changes * Understand which directories and files they have access to ### Sampling Support Sampling enables servers to request LLM interactions ("completions" or "generations") through the client: ```java // Configure sampling handler Function<CreateMessageRequest, CreateMessageResult> samplingHandler = request -> { // Sampling implementation that interfaces with LLM return new CreateMessageResult(response); }; // Create client with sampling support var client = McpClient.sync(transport) .capabilities(ClientCapabilities.builder() .sampling() .build()) .sampling(samplingHandler) .build(); ``` This capability allows: * Servers to leverage AI capabilities without requiring API keys * Clients to maintain control over model access and permissions * Support for both text and image-based interactions * Optional inclusion of MCP server context in prompts ## Using MCP Clients ### Tool Execution Tools are server-side functions that clients can discover and execute. The MCP client provides methods to list available tools and execute them with specific parameters. Each tool has a unique name and accepts a map of parameters. <Tabs> <Tab title="Sync API"> ```java // List available tools and their names var tools = client.listTools(); tools.forEach(tool -> System.out.println(tool.getName())); // Execute a tool with parameters var result = client.callTool("calculator", Map.of( "operation", "add", "a", 1, "b", 2 )); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Async API"> ```java // List available tools asynchronously client.listTools() .doOnNext(tools -> tools.forEach(tool -> System.out.println(tool.getName()))) .subscribe(); // Execute a tool asynchronously client.callTool("calculator", Map.of( "operation", "add", "a", 1, "b", 2 )) .subscribe(); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ### Resource Access Resources represent server-side data sources that clients can access using URI templates. The MCP client provides methods to discover available resources and retrieve their contents through a standardized interface. <Tabs> <Tab title="Sync API"> ```java // List available resources and their names var resources = client.listResources(); resources.forEach(resource -> System.out.println(resource.getName())); // Retrieve resource content using a URI template var content = client.getResource("file", Map.of( "path", "/path/to/file.txt" )); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Async API"> ```java // List available resources asynchronously client.listResources() .doOnNext(resources -> resources.forEach(resource -> System.out.println(resource.getName()))) .subscribe(); // Retrieve resource content asynchronously client.getResource("file", Map.of( "path", "/path/to/file.txt" )) .subscribe(); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ### Prompt System The prompt system enables interaction with server-side prompt templates. These templates can be discovered and executed with custom parameters, allowing for dynamic text generation based on predefined patterns. <Tabs> <Tab title="Sync API"> ```java // List available prompt templates var prompts = client.listPrompts(); prompts.forEach(prompt -> System.out.println(prompt.getName())); // Execute a prompt template with parameters var response = client.executePrompt("echo", Map.of( "text", "Hello, World!" )); ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Async API"> ```java // List available prompt templates asynchronously client.listPrompts() .doOnNext(prompts -> prompts.forEach(prompt -> System.out.println(prompt.getName()))) .subscribe(); // Execute a prompt template asynchronously client.executePrompt("echo", Map.of( "text", "Hello, World!" )) .subscribe(); ``` </Tab> </Tabs> # Overview Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/sdk/java/mcp-overview Introduction to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Java SDK Java SDK for the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.org/docs/concepts/architecture) enables standardized integration between AI models and tools. ## Features * MCP Client and MCP Server implementations supporting: * Protocol [version compatibility negotiation](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/basic/lifecycle/#initialization) * [Tool](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/server/tools/) discovery, execution, list change notifications * [Resource](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/server/resources/) management with URI templates * [Roots](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/client/roots/) list management and notifications * [Prompt](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/server/prompts/) handling and management * [Sampling](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/client/sampling/) support for AI model interactions * Multiple transport implementations: * Default transports: * Stdio-based transport for process-based communication * Java HttpClient-based SSE client transport for HTTP SSE Client-side streaming * Servlet-based SSE server transport for HTTP SSE Server streaming * Spring-based transports: * WebFlux SSE client and server transports for reactive HTTP streaming * WebMVC SSE transport for servlet-based HTTP streaming * Supports Synchronous and Asynchronous programming paradigms ## Architecture The SDK follows a layered architecture with clear separation of concerns: ![MCP Stack Architecture](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/java/mcp-stack.svg) * **Client/Server Layer (McpClient/McpServer)**: Both use McpSession for sync/async operations, with McpClient handling client-side protocol operations and McpServer managing server-side protocol operations. * **Session Layer (McpSession)**: Manages communication patterns and state using DefaultMcpSession implementation. * **Transport Layer (McpTransport)**: Handles JSON-RPC message serialization/deserialization via: * StdioTransport (stdin/stdout) in the core module * HTTP SSE transports in dedicated transport modules (Java HttpClient, Spring WebFlux, Spring WebMVC) The MCP Client is a key component in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture, responsible for establishing and managing connections with MCP servers. It implements the client-side of the protocol. ![Java MCP Client Architecture](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/java/java-mcp-client-architecture.jpg) The MCP Server is a foundational component in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture that provides tools, resources, and capabilities to clients. It implements the server-side of the protocol. ![Java MCP Server Architecture](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcp/images/java/java-mcp-server-architecture.jpg) Key Interactions: * **Client/Server Initialization**: Transport setup, protocol compatibility check, capability negotiation, and implementation details exchange. * **Message Flow**: JSON-RPC message handling with validation, type-safe response processing, and error handling. * **Resource Management**: Resource discovery, URI template-based access, subscription system, and content retrieval. ## Dependencies Add the following Maven dependency to your project: <Tabs> <Tab title="Maven"> The core MCP functionality: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk</groupId> <artifactId>mcp</artifactId> </dependency> ``` For HTTP SSE transport implementations, add one of the following dependencies: ```xml <!-- Spring WebFlux-based SSE client and server transport --> <dependency> <groupId>io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk</groupId> <artifactId>mcp-spring-webflux</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- Spring WebMVC-based SSE server transport --> <dependency> <groupId>io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk</groupId> <artifactId>mcp-spring-webmvc</artifactId> </dependency> ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Gradle"> The core MCP functionality: ```groovy dependencies { implementation platform("io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp") //... } ``` For HTTP SSE transport implementations, add one of the following dependencies: ```groovy // Spring WebFlux-based SSE client and server transport dependencies { implementation platform("io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-spring-webflux") } // Spring WebMVC-based SSE server transport dependencies { implementation platform("io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-spring-webmvc") } ``` </Tab> </Tabs> ### Bill of Materials (BOM) The Bill of Materials (BOM) declares the recommended versions of all the dependencies used by a given release. Using the BOM from your application's build script avoids the need for you to specify and maintain the dependency versions yourself. Instead, the version of the BOM you're using determines the utilized dependency versions. It also ensures that you're using supported and tested versions of the dependencies by default, unless you choose to override them. Add the BOM to your project: <Tabs> <Tab title="Maven"> ```xml <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk</groupId> <artifactId>mcp-bom</artifactId> <version>0.7.0</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> ``` </Tab> <Tab title="Gradle"> ```groovy dependencies { implementation platform("io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-bom:0.7.0") //... } ``` Gradle users can also use the Spring AI MCP BOM by leveraging Gradle (5.0+) native support for declaring dependency constraints using a Maven BOM. This is implemented by adding a 'platform' dependency handler method to the dependencies section of your Gradle build script. As shown in the snippet above this can then be followed by version-less declarations of the Starter Dependencies for the one or more spring-ai modules you wish to use, e.g. spring-ai-openai. </Tab> </Tabs> Replace the version number with the version of the BOM you want to use. ### Available Dependencies The following dependencies are available and managed by the BOM: * Core Dependencies * `io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp` - Core MCP library providing the base functionality and APIs for Model Context Protocol implementation. * Transport Dependencies * `io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-spring-webflux` - WebFlux-based Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport implementation for reactive applications. * `io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-spring-webmvc` - WebMVC-based Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport implementation for servlet-based applications. * Testing Dependencies * `io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp-test` - Testing utilities and support for MCP-based applications. # MCP Server Source: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/sdk/java/mcp-server Learn how to implement and configure a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server ## Overview The MCP Server is a foundational component in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture that provides tools, resources, and capabilities to clients.

This guide will help you use LLMs to help you build custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients. We'll be focusing on Claude for this tutorial, but you can do this with any frontier LLM. ## Preparing the documentation Before starting, gather the necessary documentation to help Claude understand MCP: 1. Visit [https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms-full.txt](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms-full.txt) and copy the full documentation text 2. Navigate to either the [MCP TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk) or [Python SDK repository](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) 3. Copy the README files and other relevant documentation 4. Paste these documents into your conversation with Claude ## Describing your server Once you've provided the documentation, clearly describe to Claude what kind of server you want to build. Be specific about: * What resources your server will expose * What tools it will provide * Any prompts it should offer * What external systems it needs to interact with For example: ``` Build an MCP server that: - Connects to my company's PostgreSQL database - Exposes table schemas as resources - Provides tools for running read-only SQL queries - Includes prompts for common data analysis tasks ``` ## Working with Claude When working with Claude on MCP servers: 1. Start with the core functionality first, then iterate to add more features 2. Ask Claude to explain any parts of the code you don't understand 3. Request modifications or improvements as needed 4. Have Claude help you test the server and handle edge cases Claude can help implement all the key MCP features: * Resource management and exposure * Tool definitions and implementations * Prompt templates and handlers * Error handling and logging * Connection and transport setup ## Best practices When building MCP servers with Claude: * Break down complex servers into smaller pieces * Test each component thoroughly before moving on * Keep security in mind - validate inputs and limit access appropriately * Document your code well for future maintenance * Follow MCP protocol specifications carefully ## Next steps After Claude helps you build your server: 1. Review the generated code carefully 2. Test the server with the MCP Inspector tool 3. Connect it to Claude.app or other MCP clients 4. Iterate based on real usage and feedback Remember that Claude can help you modify and improve your server as requirements change over time. Need more guidance? Just ask Claude specific questions about implementing MCP features or troubleshooting issues that arise. ================ File: MCP-Typescript-readme.txt ================ MCP TypeScript SDK NPM Version MIT licensed Table of Contents Overview Installation Quickstart What is MCP? Core Concepts Server Resources Tools Prompts When to Use MCP Tools Running Your Server stdio HTTP with SSE Testing and Debugging Examples Echo Server SQLite Explorer Advanced Usage Low-Level Server Writing MCP Clients Server Capabilities Overview The Model Context Protocol allows applications to provide context for LLMs in a standardized way, separating the concerns of providing context from the actual LLM interaction. This TypeScript SDK implements the full MCP specification, making it easy to: Build MCP clients that can connect to any MCP server Create MCP servers that expose resources, prompts and tools Use standard transports like stdio and SSE Handle all MCP protocol messages and lifecycle events Installation npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Quick Start Let's create a simple MCP server that exposes a calculator tool and some data: import { McpServer, ResourceTemplate } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; import { z } from "zod"; // Create an MCP server const server = new McpServer({ name: "Demo", version: "1.0.0" }); // Add an addition tool server.tool("add", { a: z.number(), b: z.number() }, async ({ a, b }) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: String(a + b) }] }) ); // Add a dynamic greeting resource server.resource( "greeting", new ResourceTemplate("greeting://{name}", { list: undefined }), async (uri, { name }) => ({ contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: `Hello, ${name}!` }] }) ); // Start receiving messages on stdin and sending messages on stdout const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport); What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. Think of it like a web API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. MCP servers can: Expose data through Resources (think of these sort of like GET endpoints; they are used to load information into the LLM's context) Provide functionality through Tools (sort of like POST endpoints; they are used to execute code or otherwise produce a side effect) Define interaction patterns through Prompts (reusable templates for LLM interactions) And more! Core Concepts Server The McpServer is your core interface to the MCP protocol. It handles connection management, protocol compliance, and message routing: const server = new McpServer({ name: "My App", version: "1.0.0" }); Resources Resources are how you expose data to LLMs. They're similar to GET endpoints in a REST API - they provide data but shouldn't perform significant computation or have side effects: // Static resource server.resource( "config", "config://app", async (uri) => ({ contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: "App configuration here" }] }) ); // Dynamic resource with parameters server.resource( "user-profile", new ResourceTemplate("users://{userId}/profile", { list: undefined }), async (uri, { userId }) => ({ contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: `Profile data for user ${userId}` }] }) ); Tools Tools let LLMs take actions through your server. Unlike resources, tools are expected to perform computation and have side effects: // Simple tool with parameters server.tool( "calculate-bmi", { weightKg: z.number(), heightM: z.number() }, async ({ weightKg, heightM }) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: String(weightKg / (heightM * heightM)) }] }) ); // Async tool with external API call server.tool( "fetch-weather", { city: z.string() }, async ({ city }) => { const response = await fetch(`https://api.weather.com/${city}`); const data = await response.text(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: data }] }; } ); Prompts Prompts are reusable templates that help LLMs interact with your server effectively: server.prompt( "review-code", { code: z.string() }, ({ code }) => ({ messages: [{ role: "user", content: { type: "text", text: `Please review this code:\n\n${code}` } }] }) ); ## When to Use MCP Tools MCP tools should be used when you need to provide LLMs with structured access to external data, functionality, or context. Here are specific scenarios when MCP tools are the right choice: ### When to Use MCP Resources Use resources when you need to: - Provide data from external systems (databases, files, APIs) - Give LLMs access to structured information - Allow LLMs to browse hierarchical data - Supply reference information that doesn't change frequently - Load content that's too large for the prompt context Example use cases: - Documentation lookup - Database schema access - Configuration settings - User profile information - Content retrieval (articles, code, etc.) ### When to Use MCP Tools Use tools when you need to: - Enable LLMs to perform actions with side effects - Allow computation or processing that happens at runtime - Interact with external systems - Support complex operations that return structured results - Enable operations that might fail and require error handling Example use cases: - Database queries or updates - API calls to external services - Code execution or evaluation - Image or data processing - Search functionality - Authentication operations ### When to Use MCP Prompts Use prompts when you need to: - Define reusable interaction patterns - Enforce a specific conversation structure - Provide consistent instructions across different LLM requests - Package complex workflows into simple templates - Guide LLMs to use resources and tools in specific ways Example use cases: - Task-specific workflows - Standardized evaluation processes - Complex multi-step interactions - Domain-specific specialized prompting ### When NOT to Use MCP MCP might not be necessary when: - Your LLM task is simple and doesn't require external data or computation - All needed context fits within the prompt limit - You're building a standalone application without integration needs - You need extremely low-latency responses (MCP adds some overhead) ## Running Your Server MCP servers in TypeScript need to be connected to a transport to communicate with clients. How you start the server depends on the choice of transport: stdio For command-line tools and direct integrations: import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; const server = new McpServer({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }); // ... set up server resources, tools, and prompts ... const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport); HTTP with SSE For remote servers, start a web server with a Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoint, and a separate endpoint for the client to send its messages to: import express from "express"; import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { SSEServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/sse.js"; const server = new McpServer({ name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }); // ... set up server resources, tools, and prompts ... const app = express(); app.get("/sse", async (req, res) => { const transport = new SSEServerTransport("/messages", res); await server.connect(transport); }); app.post("/messages", async (req, res) => { // Note: to support multiple simultaneous connections, these messages will // need to be routed to a specific matching transport. (This logic isn't // implemented here, for simplicity.) await transport.handlePostMessage(req, res); }); app.listen(3001); Testing and Debugging To test your server, you can use the MCP Inspector. See its README for more information. Examples Echo Server A simple server demonstrating resources, tools, and prompts: import { McpServer, ResourceTemplate } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { z } from "zod"; const server = new McpServer({ name: "Echo", version: "1.0.0" }); server.resource( "echo", new ResourceTemplate("echo://{message}", { list: undefined }), async (uri, { message }) => ({ contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: `Resource echo: ${message}` }] }) ); server.tool( "echo", { message: z.string() }, async ({ message }) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: `Tool echo: ${message}` }] }) ); server.prompt( "echo", { message: z.string() }, ({ message }) => ({ messages: [{ role: "user", content: { type: "text", text: `Please process this message: ${message}` } }] }) ); SQLite Explorer A more complex example showing database integration: import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import sqlite3 from "sqlite3"; import { promisify } from "util"; import { z } from "zod"; const server = new McpServer({ name: "SQLite Explorer", version: "1.0.0" }); // Helper to create DB connection const getDb = () => { const db = new sqlite3.Database("database.db"); return { all: promisify<string, any[]>(db.all.bind(db)), close: promisify(db.close.bind(db)) }; }; server.resource( "schema", "schema://main", async (uri) => { const db = getDb(); try { const tables = await db.all( "SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'" ); return { contents: [{ uri: uri.href, text: tables.map((t: {sql: string}) => t.sql).join("\n") }] }; } finally { await db.close(); } } ); server.tool( "query", { sql: z.string() }, async ({ sql }) => { const db = getDb(); try { const results = await db.all(sql); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(results, null, 2) }] }; } catch (err: unknown) { const error = err as Error; return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${error.message}` }], isError: true }; } finally { await db.close(); } } ); Advanced Usage Low-Level Server For more control, you can use the low-level Server class directly: import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; import { ListPromptsRequestSchema, GetPromptRequestSchema } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js"; const server = new Server( { name: "example-server", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { prompts: {} } } ); server.setRequestHandler(ListPromptsRequestSchema, async () => { return { prompts: [{ name: "example-prompt", description: "An example prompt template", arguments: [{ name: "arg1", description: "Example argument", required: true }] }] }; }); server.setRequestHandler(GetPromptRequestSchema, async (request) => { if (request.params.name !== "example-prompt") { throw new Error("Unknown prompt"); } return { description: "Example prompt", messages: [{ role: "user", content: { type: "text", text: "Example prompt text" } }] }; }); const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); await server.connect(transport); Writing MCP Clients The SDK provides a high-level client interface: import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"; import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js"; const transport = new StdioClientTransport({ command: "node", args: ["server.js"] }); const client = new Client( { name: "example-client", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { prompts: {}, resources: {}, tools: {} } } ); await client.connect(transport); // List prompts const prompts = await client.listPrompts(); // Get a prompt const prompt = await client.getPrompt("example-prompt", { arg1: "value" }); // List resources const resources = await client.listResources(); // Read a resource const resource = await client.readResource("file:///example.txt"); // Call a tool const result = await client.callTool({ name: "example-tool", arguments: { arg1: "value" } }); ================ File: package.json ================ { "name": "code-review-server", "version": "0.1.0", "description": "A custom MCP server to perform code reviews", "private": true, "type": "module", "bin": { "code-review-server": "./build/index.js" }, "files": [ "build" ], "scripts": { "build": "tsc && node -e \"require('fs').chmodSync('build/index.js', '755')\"", "prepare": "npm run build", "watch": "tsc --watch", "inspector": "npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector build/index.js", "test": "bun test", "test:watch": "bun test --watch", "start": "node build/index.js" }, "dependencies": { "dotenv": "^16.3.1", "node-fetch": "^3.3.2", "repomix": "^0.3.0", "zod": "^3.22.2" }, "devDependencies": { "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^1.7.0", "@types/node": "^20.11.24", "bun-types": "^1.2.5", "typescript": "^5.3.3" } } ================ File: README.md ================ # Code Review Server A custom MCP server that performs code reviews using Repomix and LLMs. ## Features - Flatten codebases using Repomix - Analyze code with Large Language Models - Get structured code reviews with specific issues and recommendations - Support for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) - Handles chunking for large codebases ## Installation ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/code-review-server.git cd code-review-server # Install dependencies npm install # Build the server npm run build ``` ## Configuration Create a `.env` file in the root directory based on the `.env.example` template: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` Edit the `.env` file to set up your preferred LLM provider and API key: ```bash # LLM Provider Configuration LLM_PROVIDER=OPEN_AI OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ## Usage ### As an MCP Server The code review server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can be used with any MCP client: ```bash # Start the server node build/index.js ``` The server exposes two main tools: 1. `analyze_repo`: Flattens a codebase using Repomix 2. `code_review`: Performs a code review using an LLM ## When to Use MCP Tools This server provides two distinct tools for different code analysis needs: ### analyze_repo **Use this tool when you need to:** - Get a high-level overview of a codebase's structure and organization - Flatten a repository into a textual representation for initial analysis - Understand the directory structure and file contents without detailed review - Prepare for a more in-depth code review - Quickly scan a codebase to identify relevant files for further analysis **Example situations:** - "I want to understand the structure of this repository before reviewing it" - "Show me what files and directories are in this codebase" - "Give me a flattened view of the code to understand its organization" ### code_review **Use this tool when you need to:** - Perform a comprehensive code quality assessment - Identify specific security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, or code quality issues - Get actionable recommendations for improving code - Conduct a detailed review with severity ratings for issues - Evaluate a codebase against best practices **Example situations:** - "Review this codebase for security vulnerabilities" - "Analyze the performance of these specific JavaScript files" - "Give me a detailed code quality assessment of this repository" - "Review my code and tell me how to improve its maintainability" **When to use parameters:** - `specificFiles`: When you only want to review certain files, not the entire repository - `fileTypes`: When you want to focus on specific file extensions (e.g., .js, .ts) - `detailLevel`: Use 'basic' for a quick overview or 'detailed' for in-depth analysis - `focusAreas`: When you want to prioritize certain aspects (security, performance, etc.) ### Using the CLI Tool For testing purposes, you can use the included CLI tool: ```bash node build/cli.js <repo_path> [options] ``` Options: - `--files <file1,file2>`: Specific files to review - `--types <.js,.ts>`: File types to include in the review - `--detail <basic|detailed>`: Level of detail (default: detailed) - `--focus <areas>`: Areas to focus on (security,performance,quality,maintainability) Example: ```bash node build/cli.js ./my-project --types .js,.ts --detail detailed --focus security,quality ``` ## Development ```bash # Run tests npm test # Watch mode for development npm run watch # Run the MCP inspector tool npm run inspector ``` ## LLM Integration The code review server integrates directly with multiple LLM provider APIs: - **OpenAI** (default: gpt-4o) - **Anthropic** (default: claude-3-opus-20240307) - **Gemini** (default: gemini-1.5-pro) ### Provider Configuration Configure your preferred LLM provider in the `.env` file: ```bash # Set which provider to use LLM_PROVIDER=OPEN_AI # Options: OPEN_AI, ANTHROPIC, or GEMINI # Provider API Keys (add your key for the chosen provider) OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key GEMINI_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key ``` ### Model Configuration You can optionally specify which model to use for each provider: ```bash # Optional: Override the default models OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4-turbo ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-sonnet-20240229 GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-1.5-flash-preview ``` ### How the LLM Integration Works 1. The `code_review` tool processes code using Repomix to flatten the repository structure 2. The code is formatted and chunked if necessary to fit within LLM context limits 3. A detailed prompt is generated based on the focus areas and detail level 4. The prompt and code are sent directly to the LLM API of your chosen provider 5. The LLM response is parsed into a structured format 6. The review is returned as a JSON object with issues, strengths, and recommendations The implementation includes retry logic for resilience against API errors and proper formatting to ensure the most relevant code is included in the review. ## Code Review Output Format The code review is returned in a structured JSON format: ```json { "summary": "Brief summary of the code and its purpose", "issues": [ { "type": "SECURITY|PERFORMANCE|QUALITY|MAINTAINABILITY", "severity": "HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW", "description": "Description of the issue", "line_numbers": [12, 15], "recommendation": "Recommended fix" } ], "strengths": ["List of code strengths"], "recommendations": ["List of overall recommendations"] } ``` ## License MIT ================ File: tsconfig.json ================ { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ESNext", "module": "NodeNext", "moduleResolution": "NodeNext", "esModuleInterop": true, "outDir": "build", "strict": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "types": ["node"] }, "include": ["src/**/*"], "exclude": ["node_modules", "test/**/*"] }
