You run an MCP server to expose a Managed Creative Protocol interface for the NDHM HIU data model, enabling consistent, protocol-driven access to its context-aware capabilities. This server lets MCP clients connect, negotiate capabilities, and perform actions against the HIU context in a standardized way.

How to use

You will start the MCP server in stdio mode to run locally and interact with it through standard input/output streams. The server supports different transport modes, but stdio is the simplest for local development and testing. You configure clients to connect by sending MCP requests through the chosen transport, and you receive responses that reflect the HIU context data and available operations.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing the MCP server are Python 3.9 or newer, and a working Python package manager (pip). You may also use uv as an alternative runner.

Step 1: Clone the project repository.

git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-server

Step 2: Install dependencies. The standard path uses a dev workflow to install editable dependencies. Run this command to install the development dependencies.

pip install -e ".[dev]"

If you prefer using uv to run the editable package, use this alternative command.

uv pip install --editable ".[dev]"

Step 3: Run the MCP server in stdio mode. This starts the server and prepares it to accept MCP requests from a client.

python mcp_server/main.py stdio

Additional configuration notes

You can influence the server behavior through environment variables. Common options include providing a configuration path, a JSON string with the configuration, or security-related settings.
