MCP Server Demo

Getting Started with MCP in Your Python Project

These instructions are adapted from the original GitHub MCP Python SDK Repository: Model Context Protocol Python SDK.

We will use uv to manage your Python projects for a streamlined and reproducible setup.

1. Initialize a New uv-Managed Project

If you're starting fresh, initialize a new project:

uv init mcp-server-demo
cd mcp-server-demo

You can then copy the server.py file in your new project.

2. Add MCP to Your Project

Add the MCP package, including the CLI tools, as a dependency:

uv add "mcp[cli]"

3. Run the MCP Development Tools

To use the MCP CLI with uv:

uv run mcp

3. Interact with the Tool

If you have Claude Desktop, you can start interacting with the tool from the UI by running the following command:

uv mcp install server.py

You can follow this tutorial for a step by step initialziation.

Alternatively, you can test it with the MCP Inspector:

uv mcp dev server.py
