MCP Server
by GobinFan
# Python 从0到1构建MCP Server & Client
中文 | [English](README_EN.md)
## 简介
MCP Server 是实现模型上下文协议（MCP）的服务器，旨在为 AI 模型提供一个标准化接口，连接外部数据源和工具，例如文件系统、数据库或 API。
### MCP 的优势
在 MCP 出现前，AI 调用工具基本通过 Function Call 完成，存在以下问题：
1. 不同的大模型厂商 Function Call 格式不一致
2. 大量 API 工具的输入和输出格式不一致，封装管理繁琐
MCP 相当于一个统一的 USB-C，不仅统一了不同大模型厂商的 Function Call 格式，也对相关工具的封装进行了统一。
## MCP 传输协议
目前 MCP 支持两种主要的传输协议：
1. **Stdio 传输协议**
- 针对本地使用
- 需要在用户本地安装命令行工具
- 对运行环境有特定要求
2. **SSE（Server-Sent Events）传输协议**
- 针对云服务部署
- 基于 HTTP 长连接实现
## 项目结构
### MCP Server
- Stdio 传输协议（本地）
- SSE 传输协议（远程）
### MCP Client（客户端）
- 自建客户端（Python）
- Cursor
- Cline
## 环境配置
### 1. 安装 UV 包
**MacOS/Linux:**
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
**Windows:**
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```
### 2. 初始化项目
```bash
# 创建项目目录
uv init mcp-server
cd mcp-server
# 创建并激活虚拟环境
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# 安装依赖
uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx
# 创建服务器实现文件
touch main.py
```
## 构建工具函数
为了让大模型能访问市面上主流框架的技术文档，我们主要通过用户输入的 query，结合指定 site 特定域名的谷歌搜索进行搜索相关网页，并对相关网页进行解析提取网页文本并返回。
### 1. 构建相关文档映射字典
```python
docs_urls = {
"langchain": "python.langchain.com/docs",
"llama-index": "docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable",
"autogen": "microsoft.github.io/autogen/stable",
"agno": "docs.agno.com",
"openai-agents-sdk": "openai.github.io/openai-agents-python",
"mcp-doc": "modelcontextprotocol.io",
"camel-ai": "docs.camel-ai.org",
"crew-ai": "docs.crewai.com"
}
```
### 2. 构建 MCP 工具
```python
import json
import os
import httpx
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from mcp import tool
async def search_web(query: str) -> dict | None:
payload = json.dumps({"q": query, "num": 3})
headers = {
"X-API-KEY": os.getenv("SERPER_API_KEY"),
"Content-Type": "application/json",
}
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
try:
response = await client.post(
SERPER_URL, headers=headers, data=payload, timeout=30.0
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
except httpx.TimeoutException:
return {"organic": []}
async def fetch_url(url: str):
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
try:
response = await client.get(url, timeout=30.0)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
text = soup.get_text()
return text
except httpx.TimeoutException:
return "Timeout error"
@tool()
async def get_docs(query: str, library: str):
"""

支持 langchain、llama-index、autogen、agno、openai-agents-sdk、mcp-doc、camel-ai 和 crew-ai。
参数:

library: 要搜索的库 (例如 "agno")
返回:
文档中的文本
"""
if library not in docs_urls:
raise ValueError(f"Library {library} not supported by this tool")
query = f"site:{docs_urls[library]} {query}"
results = await search_web(query)
if len(results["organic"]) == 0:
return "No results found"
text = ""
for result in results["organic"]:
text += await fetch_url(result["link"])
return text
```
## 封装 MCP Server (基于 Stdio 协议)
### 1. MCP Server (Stdio)
```python

text += await fetch_url(result["link"])
return text
if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run(transport="stdio")
```
启动命令：
```bash
uv run main.py
```
### 2. 客户端配置
#### 2.1 基于 Cline
首先在 Visual Studio Code 安装 Cline 插件，然后进行配置 MCP
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<你的项目路径>",
"run",
"main.py"
]
}
}
}
```
成功绑定如图（左侧绿灯）：
#### 2.2 基于 Cursor
项目根目录创建 .cursor 文件夹，并创建 mcp.json 文件，如：
然后粘贴以下内容到 mcp.json
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<你的项目路径>",
"run",
"main.py"
]
}
}
}
```
成功配置如图：

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Run MCP SSE-based server')
parser.add_argument('--host', default='0.0.0.0', help='Host to bind to')
parser.add_argument('--port', type=int, default=8020, help='Port to listen on')

# Bind SSE request handling to MCP server
starlette_app = create_starlette_app(mcp_server, debug=True)
