A simple MCP server for interacting with OpenAI assistants, allowing tools like Claude Desktop to create and interact with OpenAI assistants through the Model Context Protocol.
The MCP Simple OpenAI Assistant is a server designed to facilitate interaction with OpenAI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows users to create new assistants, manage existing ones, and engage in conversation threads. The server is particularly useful for applications like Claude Desktop, where it can handle message sending and response retrieval. Due to potential delays in OpenAI responses, the server employs a two-stage approach to manage communication effectively. This involves initiating processing with a message and retrieving the response in a subsequent call, thus overcoming client timeout issues. The server requires an OpenAI API key for operation and can be installed via Smithery or manually using pip.
Features
- Create new OpenAI assistants and manipulate existing ones
- Start conversation threads
- Send messages and receive responses
- Two-stage communication approach to handle long response times
