šŸ”Œ Configuration

Claude Desktop

Update claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "products": {
      "command": "uv.exe",
      "args": [
        "--directory", "C:\\path\\to\\create_new_mcp",
        "run", "mcp_server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

GitHub Copilot

Update mcp.json with the same server details.

šŸš€ Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+

  • uv package manager

  • MySQL database

  • Claude Desktop or GitHub Copilot

šŸ“š Key Learnings

  • āœ… MCP Tools are invoked directly by the LLM

  • āœ… MCP Resources are fetched manually via host UI and injected into context

  • āœ… Prompt Templates enable consistent prompt generation via / command

  • āš ļø MCP Sampling (server → LLM callback) is not yet supported by Claude Desktop or GitHub Copilot in practice

  • šŸ’” Workaround for sampling: call Anthropic API directly from the MCP server
