hybrid server

The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.

Integrations

Allows installation of Python packages directly from PyPI using the install_package tool, enabling access to additional Python libraries as needed.
Offers a persistent Python execution environment that maintains variable state between code executions, enabling multi-step programming workflows.

Python REPL MCP Server

This MCP server provides a Python REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) as a tool. It allows execution of Python code through the MCP protocol with a persistent session.

Setup

No setup needed! The project uses uv for dependency management.

Running the Server

Simply run:

uv run src/python_repl/server.py

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "python-repl": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/python-repl-server",
        "run",
        "mcp_python"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The server provides three tools:

execute_python: Execute Python code with persistent variables
- code: The Python code to execute
- reset: Optional boolean to reset the session
list_variables: Show all variables in the current session
install_package: Install a package from pypi

Examples

Set a variable:

a = 42

Use the variable:

print(f"The value is {a}")

List all variables:

# Use the list_variables tool

Reset the session:

# Use execute_python with reset=true
