}MCP lets you attach structured context to language models, enabling apps to expose resources, tools, and prompts that an AI can invoke to perform tasks or fetch information. This server demonstrates how to build MCP endpoints in Python, run in development mode with hot reloading, and test interactions quickly.
You can use an MCP client to interact with the server by calling the available tools, resources, and prompts exposed by this server. The Calculator tools perform arithmetic, the Greeting resource provides personalized messages, and the Code Review prompts offer reusable templates for feedback. Start the server in development mode for rapid testing, then issue requests through your MCP client to perform calculations, retrieve greetings, or request code review prompts.
Prerequisites: Python 3.8+ and a virtual environment tool available on your system.
# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txtDevelopment mode enables hot reloading and interactive testing. Use the MCP command to start the server in development mode, or run the server directly for a standard start. You can also install the server for Claude Desktop integration to streamline workflows.
Development workflow examples shown include starting in development mode and performing a direct start, as well as installing for Claude Desktop integration.
- Development mode is recommended for rapid iteration because it reloads changes automatically. - Direct execution is useful for a stable, standalone run without hot reloading. - If you want to integrate with Claude Desktop, install the server using the provided command.
