AI Makerspace: MCP Event

This project is a demonstration of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which utilizes the Tavily API for web search capabilities. The server is designed to run in a standard input/output (stdio) transport mode.

Project Overview

The MCP server is set up to handle web search queries using the Tavily API. It is built with the following key components:

  • TavilyClient: A client for interacting with the Tavily API to perform web searches.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.13 or higher
  • A valid Tavily API key

⚠️NOTE FOR WINDOWS:⚠️

You'll need to install this on the Windows side of your OS.

This will require getting two CLI tool for Powershell, which you can do as follows:

  • winget install astral-sh.uv
  • winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

After you have those CLI tools, please open Cursor into Windows.

Then, you can clone the repository using the following command in your Cursor terminal:

git clone https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space/MCP-Session-Code.git

After that, you can follow from Step 2. below!

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone <repository-url> cd <repository-directory>
  2. Configure environment variables: Copy the .env.sample to .env and add your Tavily API key:
    TAVILY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  3. 🏗️ Add a new tool to your MCP Server 🏗️

Create a new tool in the server.py file, that's it!

Running the MCP Server

To start the MCP server, you will need to add the following to your MCP Profile in Cursor:

NOTE: To get to your MCP config. you can use the Command Pallete (CMD/CTRL+SHIFT+P) and select "View: Open MCP Settings" and replace the contents with the JSON blob below.

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server": { "command" : "uv", "args" : ["--directory", "/PATH/TO/REPOSITORY", "run", "server.py"] } } }

The server will start and listen for commands via standard input/output.

Usage

The server provides a web_search tool that can be used to search the web for information about a given query. This is achieved by calling the web_search function with the desired query string.
