MCP Personal Assistant Agent

A versatile personal assistant AI agent built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that helps with calendar, tasks, emails, and more.

Overview

This project is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a set of tools for a personal assistant agent. It can be integrated with MCP clients like Claude for Desktop to give AI assistants the ability to:

Manage calendar events
Track tasks and to-dos
Read and send emails
Search the web and retrieve information
Control smart home devices

Requirements

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Python 3.10 or higher is required for the MCP SDK. The server will not work with earlier Python versions.

Python 3.10+
MCP SDK 1.2.0+
Required Python packages (see requirements.txt)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-pa-ai-agent.git
cd mcp-pa-ai-agent

Ensure you have Python 3.10+:

python --version

If your system Python is older than 3.10, set up a compatible environment:

# Using conda
conda create -n mcp-env python=3.10
conda activate mcp-env

# OR using venv (if Python 3.10+ is installed elsewhere)
python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configure environment variables by copying the example file:

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file with your API credentials and settings.

Running the Server

Start the MCP server with:

python mcp_server.py

The server will start and listen for MCP client connections.

Connecting to Claude for Desktop

Install Claude for Desktop
Configure Claude for Desktop to use this MCP server by editing the configuration file at:
- MacOS/Linux: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "personal-assistant": {
      "command": "/path/to/python",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-pa-ai-agent/mcp_server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

If you're using a virtual environment, make sure to point to the Python executable in that environment.

Restart Claude for Desktop

Troubleshooting

Python Version Issues

If you see an error like:

Error: Python 3.10 or higher is required for the MCP server.

You need to upgrade your Python version or use a virtual environment with Python 3.10+.

MCP SDK Installation Issues

If you encounter problems installing the MCP SDK:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mcp>=1.2.0

Make sure you're using Python 3.10+ and pip is updated:

pip install --upgrade pip

Development

To add new functionality to the server, you can:

Create a new module in the modules/ directory
Implement functions with the @mcp.tool() decorator
Import your module in mcp_server.py
