Claude MCP Tools

A collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extending Claude's capabilities.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables secure, two-way connections between AI models like Claude and external data sources, APIs, or tools.

MCP provides three main capabilities:

  • Tools: Functions that can be called by Claude (with user approval)
  • Resources: File-like data that can be read by clients
  • Prompts: Pre-written templates that help users accomplish specific tasks

Servers in this Repository

This repository contains the following MCP servers:

  1. news-search-server: A server that enables Claude to search for and retrieve recent news articles
  2. wikipedia-server: Allows Claude to search and retrieve content from Wikipedia
  3. analytics-server: A server for performing data analysis on CSV files

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • Claude Desktop App installed (v1.2.0+)

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/henrygabriels/claude-mcp-tools.git
cd claude-mcp-tools
  1. Set up a virtual environment and install dependencies:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Configure Claude Desktop to use these servers by editing your configuration file:
# On macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# On Windows
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news-search": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/news-search-server/server.py"
    },
    "wikipedia": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/wikipedia-server/server.py"
    },
    "analytics": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/analytics-server/server.py"
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop

Building Your Own MCP Server

To create your own MCP server, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new directory for your server
  2. Create a Python file with your server logic using the MCP SDK
  3. Define the tools you want to expose
  4. Add your server to the Claude Desktop configuration
