MCP Server

A server implementation for Claude Desktop using the MCP SDK.

System Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher
• MCP SDK 1.2.0 or higher
• uv package manager

Getting Started

Installing uv Package Manager

On MacOS/Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Make sure to restart your terminal afterwards to ensure that the uv command gets picked up.

Project Setup

1. initialize the project:

# Create virtual environment and activate it
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx python-dotenv beautifulsoup4

2. Configure environment variables:

# Create a .env file
touch .env

# Add your Serper API key
echo "SERPER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here" >> .env

You can get a Serper API key by signing up at serper.dev.

Running the Server

Start the MCP server:

uv run main.py

The server will start and be ready to accept connections.

Connecting to Claude Desktop

1. Install Claude Desktop from the official website

2. Configure Claude Desktop to use your MCP server: Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server": {
            "command": "uv",  # It's better to use the absolute path to the uv command
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/mcp-server",
                "run",
                "main.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Troubleshooting

If your server isn't being picked up by Claude Desktop:

• Check the configuration file path and permissions
• Verify the absolute path in the configuration is correct
• Ensure uv is properly installed and accessible
• Check Claude Desktop logs for any error messages
• Verify that your .env file exists and contains the required SERPER_API_KEY
