What is Claude MCP Protocol Practice?

This repository provides examples of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers designed to be used with the Claude AI assistant. It demonstrates how to create and configure servers that can provide external data and functionality to Claude.

How to use Claude MCP Protocol Practice?

The repository includes instructions for setting up two example servers: a weather app and a SQLite database. The weather app involves running a Python script that interfaces with a government API. The SQLite example uses Docker to run a database server. Both examples require configuring Claude to point to the respective server using the provided configuration snippets.
