📋 Prerequisites

Before running the server, ensure you have:

1. Python 3.10+: Download from python.org.

2. LM Studio: Download from lmstudio.ai.

3. Local LLM Model: Download a model in LM Studio (e.g., Llama 3, Mistral 7B, or Qwen 2.5).

⚙️ Installation & Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KVS-Manvith/VTU25374-MCP.git
   cd VTU25374-MCP

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended):

   # On Windows:
   python -m venv venv
   .\venv\Scripts\activate
   
   # On macOS/Linux:
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

🚀 How to Run

Step 1: Start LM Studio Local Server

1. Launch LM Studio.

2. Select and load your model at the top dropdown.

3. Open the Local Server tab (< / > icon on the left sidebar).

4. Click Start Server (Server will start on http://localhost:1234).

Step 2: Test via FastMCP Dev Inspector

You can test the tool interactively in your browser:

mcp dev story_server.py

This opens an interactive dashboard where you can call the write_and_save_story tool with custom parameters!

Step 3: Register in LM Studio MCP Client

1. In LM Studio, navigate to Settings -> MCP / Tools.

2. Add the server configuration to your mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "creative-story-writer": {
         "command": "python",
         "args": ["C:/path/to/VTU25374-MCP/story_server.py"]
       }
     }
   }

3. Save the config. In your LM Studio chat, you can now instruct the assistant:

   "Write a sci-fi story about a forgotten space station and save it as space_station.txt using the story writer tool."
