What is MCP Server and Client Implementation on Linux?
This project implements a Message Communication Protocol (MCP) server and client designed to run on Linux systems. It provides a way to establish communication between a server and a client, potentially as an alternative to using Claude Desktop.
How to use MCP Server and Client Implementation on Linux?
To use this project, you need to create separate directories for the server and client. Then, create virtual environments, install the necessary dependencies (mcp[cli] for the server and mcp, python-dotenv, and anthropic for the client), and create the server and client files. The provided commands in the README outline the steps for setting up and running both the server and the client.
