🏔️ Hiking MCP Server

This is an MCP (Modular Command Processor) server that allows you to search for hiking routes on Wikiloc, using geographic and textual queries.

🖥️ System Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher

• uv installed

• Python MCP SDK 1.2.0 or higher (included with mcp[cli])

• Claude for Desktop (Windows or macOS only)

⚙️ Set Up Your Environment

1. Install uv

On Windows PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

After installation, restart your terminal so the uv command is recognized.

2. Clone and configure the project

# Clone the GitHub repository
git clone https://github.com/Adriapt/hiking-mcp.git
cd hiking-mcp

# Set up and activate a virtual environment
uv venv
.venv\Scripts\activate   # On macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate

# Install required dependencies
uv add mcp[cli] httpx beautifulsoup4

▶️ Run the Server

To start the server, run:

uv run mcp-server.py

This will start the MCP server, ready to accept commands via stdio.

💻 Connect to Claude for Desktop

To use your MCP server with Claude for Desktop:

1. Ensure Claude for Desktop is installed

You can download Claude for Desktop here.

2. Open or create the configuration file

• On macOS:

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• On Windows (PowerShell):

code "$env:APPDATA/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"

3. Add your MCP server configuration

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

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/hiking-mcp with the actual full path to your project directory.

Use where uv on Windows or which uv on macOS/Linux to find the uv path if needed.
