Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-doc-chat Summarize the document deposition.md"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP Chat
MCP Chat is a command-line interface application that enables interactive chat capabilities with AI models through the Anthropic API. The application supports document retrieval, command-based prompts, and extensible tool integrations via the MCP (Model Control Protocol) architecture.
Prerequisites
Python 3.9+
Anthropic API Key
Related MCP server: MCP Chat
Setup
Step 1: Configure the environment variables
Create or edit the
.envfile in the project root and verify that the following variables are set correctly:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" # Enter your Anthropic API secret keyStep 2: Install dependencies
Option 1: Setup with uv (Recommended)
uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver.
Install uv, if not already installed:
pip install uvCreate and activate a virtual environment:
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activateInstall dependencies:
uv pip install -e .Run the project
uv run main.pyOption 2: Setup without uv
Create and activate a virtual environment:
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activateInstall dependencies:
pip install anthropic python-dotenv prompt-toolkit "mcp[cli]==1.8.0"Run the project
python main.pyUsage
Basic Interaction
Simply type your message and press Enter to chat with the model.
Document Retrieval
Use the @ symbol followed by a document ID to include document content in your query:
> Tell me about @deposition.mdCommands
Use the / prefix to execute commands defined in the MCP server:
> /summarize deposition.mdCommands will auto-complete when you press Tab.
Development
Adding New Documents
Edit the mcp_server.py file to add new documents to the docs dictionary.
Implementing MCP Features
To fully implement the MCP features:
Complete the TODOs in
mcp_server.pyImplement the missing functionality in
mcp_client.py
Linting and Typing Check
There are no lint or type checks implemented.

TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one reads document content, the other edits it. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (read_doc_content, edit_doc_content), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With only two tools, the server is minimal but reasonably scoped for a chat-based document interaction context. It's slightly thin but not inappropriate.
The tools cover reading and editing existing documents, but lack essential operations like creating, deleting, or listing documents. This is a significant gap for a document-focused server.
