File Analysis MCP
by varunidealabs
This guide helps you build a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and publish it to PyPI, enabling you to extend AI assistants like Claude with custom tools and data sources. MCP standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, similar to a USB-C port for AI applications.

What is File Analysis MCP?
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects AI models to external data sources and tools, enabling custom capabilities like accessing files, databases, or remote services. It provides resources, tools, and prompts to extend the functionality of AI assistants.
How to use File Analysis MCP?
To use an MCP server, you need an MCP host (like Claude Desktop) configured to connect to your server. The server exposes tools and resources that the host can access. The guide provides instructions on setting up the environment, building the server, and configuring Claude for Desktop to use it.
