High-performance computing resources and usage guides\n- **Getting support** - Office hours, contact information, and support channels\n- **Software and tools** - Available applications, modules, and installation guides\n- **Storage and data management** - Data storage systems, quotas, and best practices\n- **Job scheduling (SLURM)** - Submitting and managing computational jobs\n- **Contributing** - How to improve the documentation\n\n## Features\n\nThe server provides the following tools:\n\n### 1. `search_documentation`\nSearch the UAB Research Computing documentation for relevant content.\n\n**Parameters:**\n- `query` (string): Search term or phrase\n- `max_results` (integer, optional): Maximum results to return (default: 5, max: 10)\n\n**Example:**\n```python\nsearch_documentation(\"slurm tutorial\")\nsearch_documentation(\"gpu computing\", max_results=10)\n```\n\n### 2. `get_documentation_page`\nRetrieve the full content of a specific documentation page.\n\n**Parameters:**\n- `page_path` (string): Path to the page (e.g., \"getting-started/intro\") or full URL\n\n**Example:**\n```python\nget_documentation_page(\"getting-started/intro\")\nget_documentation_page(\"https://docs.rc.uab.edu/storage/data-management\")\n```\n\n### 3. `get_support_info`\nGet comprehensive support information including office hours, contact methods, and support channels.\n\n**Example:**\n```python\nget_support_info()\n```\n\n### 4. `list_documentation_sections`\nList all main sections and categories in the documentation with descriptions.\n\n**Example:**\n```python\nlist_documentation_sections()\n```\n\n### 5. `get_cheaha_quick_start`\nGet quick start information for accessing and using the Cheaha HPC cluster.\n\n**Example:**\n```python\nget_cheaha_quick_start()\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.10 or higher\n- `uv` package manager (recommended)\n\n### Setup\n\n1. **Install uv** (if not already installed):\n\n **macOS/Linux:**\n ```bash\n curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n ```\n\n **Windows:**\n ```powershell\n powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c \"irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex\"\n ```\n\n Restart your terminal after installation.\n\n2. **Clone or download this repository:**\n ```bash\n cd /path/to/uab-rc-docs-mcp-server\n ```\n\n3. **Create virtual environment and install dependencies:**\n\n **macOS/Linux:**\n ```bash\n uv venv\n source .venv/bin/activate\n uv pip install -e .\n ```\n\n **Windows:**\n ```powershell\n uv venv\n .venv\\Scripts\\activate\n uv pip install -e .\n ```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Testing the Server Directly\n\nRun the server directly to test it:\n\n```bash\nuv run uab_docs_server.py\n```\n\nThe server will start and listen for MCP protocol messages on standard input/output.\n\n### Using with Claude Desktop\n\n1. **Install Claude Desktop** from https://claude.ai/download\n\n2. **Configure Claude Desktop** to use this MCP server:\n\n **macOS/Linux:**\n Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:\n ```json\n {\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"uab-research-computing\": {\n \"command\": \"uv\",\n \"args\": [\n \"--directory\",\n \"/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/uab-rc-docs-mcp-server\",\n \"run\",\n \"uab_docs_server.py\"\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n **Windows:**\n Edit `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json`:\n ```json\n {\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"uab-research-computing\": {\n \"command\": \"uv\",\n \"args\": [\n \"--directory\",\n \"C:\\\\ABSOLUTE\\\\PATH\\\\TO\\\\uab-rc-docs-mcp-server\",\n \"run\",\n \"uab_docs_server.py\"\n ]\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n **Important:** Replace `/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/uab-rc-docs-mcp-server` with the actual absolute path to this directory.\n\n3. **Restart Claude Desktop** to load the new configuration.\n\n4. **Verify the connection** in Claude Desktop:\n - Look for the 🔌 icon in the bottom right\n - Click it to see connected MCP servers\n - \"uab-research-computing\" should appear in the list\n\n### Using with Other MCP Clients\n\nThis server follows the standard MCP protocol and can be used with any compatible MCP client. Refer to your client's documentation for configuration instructions.\n\nPopular MCP clients include:\n- Claude Desktop\n- Continue (VS Code extension)\n- Zed\n- And many others (see https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients)\n\n## Example Queries\n\nOnce connected, you can ask Claude questions like:\n\n- \"Search the UAB Research Computing docs for information about GPU computing\"\n- \"How do I submit a SLURM job on Cheaha?\"\n- \"What storage systems are available at UAB Research Computing?\"\n- \"Show me the quick start guide for Cheaha\"\n- \"What are the office hours for UAB Research Computing support?\"\n- \"Find documentation about using Python on Cheaha\"\n\n## Architecture\n\nThis MCP server:\n\n1. **Uses FastMCP** - A Python framework that simplifies MCP server development\n2. **Searches via GitHub API** - Searches the documentation repository on GitHub\n3. **Fetches content via HTTP** - Retrieves documentation pages directly from the website\n4. **Follows MCP best practices**:\n - Uses stderr for logging (not stdout, which would corrupt STDIO transport)\n - Provides clear tool descriptions and parameter documentation\n - Handles errors gracefully with informative messages\n\n## Development\n\n### Running Tests\n\n```bash\nuv run pytest\n```\n\n### Project Structure\n\n```\nuab-rc-docs-mcp-server/\n├── uab_docs_server.py # Main MCP server implementation\n├── pyproject.toml # Project configuration and dependencies\n├── README.md # This file\n└── .venv/ # Virtual environment (created during setup)\n```\n\n### Adding New Tools\n\nTo add a new tool to the server:\n\n1. Add a new function decorated with `@mcp.tool()`\n2. Include a comprehensive docstring describing the tool's purpose\n3. Use type hints for all parameters\n4. Return formatted string results\n5. Handle errors gracefully\n\nExample:\n```python\n@mcp.tool()\nasync def my_new_tool(param1: str, param2: int = 10) -> str:\n \"\"\"\n Description of what this tool does.\n \n Args:\n param1: Description of param1\n param2: Description of param2 (default: 10)\n \n Returns:\n Description of what is returned\n \"\"\"\n # Implementation here\n return \"Result\"\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Server Not Appearing in Claude Desktop\n\n1. Check that the path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is absolute and correct\n2. Ensure `uv` is in your PATH (run `which uv` on macOS/Linux or `where uv` on Windows)\n3. Restart Claude Desktop completely\n4. Check Claude Desktop's logs for errors:\n - macOS: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/`\n - Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\logs\\`\n\n### Connection Errors\n\n1. Ensure all dependencies are installed: `uv pip install -e .`\n2. Test the server directly: `uv run uab_docs_server.py`\n3. Check for firewall or network restrictions\n\n### Search Returns No Results\n\nThe search tool queries the GitHub API, which has rate limits:\n- Unauthenticated: 60 requests per hour\n- Authenticated: 5,000 requests per hour\n\nFor production use, consider adding GitHub API authentication.\n\n## Resources\n\n- **UAB Research Computing Documentation:** https://docs.rc.uab.edu\n- **Cheaha Access Portal:** https://rc.uab.edu\n- **Model Context Protocol:** https://modelcontextprotocol.io\n- **FastMCP Documentation:** https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp\n\n## Contributing\n\nTo contribute to this MCP server:\n\n1.
