What is MCP Server?
An MCP server is a lightweight program that exposes specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol, allowing host applications to access data and tools for LLMs. It acts as an intermediary between data sources and LLM clients, providing resources, tools, and prompts.
How to use MCP Server?
To use the MCP server, first install the required system requirements (Python 3.10+, MCP SDK 1.2.0+, uv package manager). Then, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment, install dependencies using uv venv sync, and start the server with uv run main.py. Finally, configure your LLM client (e.g., Cursor AI) to connect to the server by specifying the command and arguments in the client's configuration file.
