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

  1. Create or edit the .env file in the project root and verify that the following variables are set correctly:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""  # Enter your Anthropic API secret key

Step 2: Install dependencies

Option 1: Setup with uv (Recommended)

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver.

  1. Install uv, if not already installed:

pip install uv

  1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

  1. Install dependencies:

uv pip install -e .

  1. Run the project

uv run main.py

Option 2: Setup without uv

  1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

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

  1. Install dependencies:

pip install anthropic python-dotenv prompt-toolkit "mcp[cli]==1.8.0"

  1. Run the project

python main.py

Usage

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.md

Commands

Use the / prefix to execute commands defined in the MCP server:

> /summarize deposition.md

Commands 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:

  1. Complete the TODOs in mcp_server.py

  2. Implement the missing functionality in mcp_client.py

Linting and Typing Check

There are no lint or type checks implemented.

    TDQS

    B3.3/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one reads document contents, the other edits them. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow the verb_noun pattern (edit_documents, read_doc_contents), making them predictable and consistent.

    Tool Count2/5

    With only 2 tools, the server feels under-scoped for a 'chat server' or even a document editor. Typically, such a server would need 3-15 tools to be useful.

    Completeness2/5

    For a document editing server, basic operations like create, delete, and list are missing. The server name implies chat functionality, which is completely absent.
