MCP Expert Server
local-only server
The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.
Integrations
Utilizes environment variables for configuration, particularly for storing the Anthropic API key
Uses Node.js as the runtime environment for the MCP server, requiring version 18 or higher
Implements the server using TypeScript for type safety and modularity in the codebase
MCP Expert Server
A Model Context Protocol server that provides intelligent query generation and documentation assistance using Claude AI. The server analyzes your API documentation and provides two main tools:
- create-query: Generates queries based on natural language requests
- documentation: Provides relevant documentation information based on questions
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 18
- An Anthropic API key for Claude
Installation
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies:
- Create a
.env
file with your Anthropic API key:
Setup
Before running the server, you need to:
- Build the project and run the setup script:
This will:
- Create the required directories (
docs/
andprompts/
) - Create default prompt files
- Generate an initial service description
- Add your API documentation files to the
docs/
directory (supports.txt
,.md
, and.json
files) - Optionally customize the prompts in the
prompts/
directory:system-prompt.txt
: Main system prompt for Claudetool-metadata.txt
: Additional context for tool descriptionsquery-metadata.txt
: Additional context for query generationservice-description.txt
: Auto-generated service description
Usage
Standalone Server
Start the server:
The server exposes two tools via the Model Context Protocol:
- create-query: Generate a query based on natural language requestCopy
- documentation: Get information from the documentationCopy
Claude Desktop Integration
- Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
- Replace
/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/expert-server
with the actual absolute path to your server installation. - Restart Claude Desktop.
Directory Structure
Development
- Build the project:
- The server uses TypeScript and follows a modular architecture
- All Claude interactions are handled by the ExpertService class
- Debug logs are written to stderr with [DEBUG] prefix
Troubleshooting
If you encounter connection issues:
- Ensure you've run the setup script:
- Check that all required files exist in the
prompts/
directory - Verify your
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
is correctly set - Use absolute paths in your Claude Desktop config
- Check the debug logs (written to stderr)
Environment Variables
