How do I use MCP UseCase Function Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP UseCase Function Server calculate the average of these numbers: 15, 25, 35, 45" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

MCP UseCase Function Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that triggers functions based on specific usecases, built with Python and FastMCP.

Features

UseCase-based Function Triggering: Execute functions based on predefined usecases
stdio Transport: Compatible with Claude Desktop
Multiple Function Types: Data analysis, text processing, calculations, file operations, and web requests
Easy Integration: Simple setup for Claude Desktop

Available Usecases

data_analysis - Analyze numerical data (mean, max, min, count)
text_processing - Process text (uppercase, lowercase, word count, char count)
calculation - Mathematical operations (add, multiply, divide)
file_operation - File handling operations (info, simulation)
web_request - Web request simulation (GET, POST, etc.)

Installation

Install dependencies:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Test the server:

python3 test_client.py

Claude Desktop Integration

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop settings:

macOS

Edit: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

Edit: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Linux

Edit: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the server configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "usecase-function-server": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/your/mcp_server.py"], "env": {} } } }

Replace /path/to/your/mcp_server.py with the actual path to your server file.

Usage

Available Tools

trigger_function_by_usecase(usecase, parameters)
- Execute a function based on usecase
- Returns result with success status
list_available_usecases()
- Get all available usecases
- Returns array of usecase names
get_usecase_info(usecase)
- Get information about a specific usecase
- Returns usecase details and function description

Example Usage in Claude

Can you analyze this data using the data_analysis usecase: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Please convert "hello world" to uppercase using text_processing

Calculate the sum of 10, 20, and 30 using the calculation usecase

Deployment

For production deployment:

Docker Deployment (Recommended):

FROM python:3.11-slim WORKDIR /app COPY requirements.txt . RUN pip install -r requirements.txt COPY mcp_server.py . CMD ["python3", "mcp_server.py"]

System Service:

# Run as a service python3 mcp_server.py

Cloud Platforms:
- Deploy to AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Azure Functions
- Modify transport from stdio to HTTP for web-based deployments

Development

Adding New Usecases

Add to usecase_functions dictionary in mcp_server.py
Create the corresponding function
Test with the test client

Custom Functions

Implement new functions following this pattern:

def your_custom_function(parameters: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Your function description""" # Process parameters # Return result dictionary pass

Troubleshooting

Import Errors: Ensure all dependencies are installed
Path Issues: Use absolute paths in Claude Desktop config
Permission Issues: Make sure the script is executable
Connection Issues: Verify the server starts without errors
