Demo MCP Server for AI Community Of Practice
Overview
This project is a demonstration Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analytics.usa.gov data, designed to showcase how LLMs can interact with government analytics APIs using the MCP standard. The codebase is structured to start simple and build up in capability:
- single_report_tool: Provides basic access to a single analytics report at a time, ideal for simple queries and initial integration.
- multiple_reports_tools: Adds support for fetching and handling multiple reports, allowing more complex queries and comparisons.
- aggregation_tools: Enables aggregation of analytics data over time periods (week, month, year) and by various dimensions (such as source or agency), supporting more advanced analytics and summarization.
Each tool is registered with the MCP server and can be called by an LLM or other MCP-compatible client. The project is intended as a learning and experimentation platform for building and extending MCP-based analytics APIs.
Quick Start (Recommended)
Option 1: Install via uv
uv tool install git+https://github.com/GSA-TTS/usdc-arc-mcp-demo/
This will install the MCP server as a CLI tool. You can then run:
usdc-arc-mcp-demo
Simple way to connect to Claude
-
Get the installed tool path:
which usdc-arc-mcp-demo
-
Copy the path into Claude MCP config:
{ "mcpServers": { "usdc-arc-mcp-demo": { "command": "/path/to/usdc-arc-mcp-demo", "args": [], "env": { "DAP_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }
Development Setup
Option 2: Using Hatch or uv
Using Hatch
- Install Hatch:
pip install hatch
- Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:
hatch env create
- Run the server:
Or:
hatch run usdc-arc-mcp-demo
hatch shell
usdc-arc-mcp-demo
#### Using uv
1. Install [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv):
```sh
pip install uv
- Install dependencies:
Or, for PEP 621 projects:
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
uv pip install -e .
- Run the server:
usdc-arc-mcp-demo
Configuration
Set your Regulations.gov API key in a .env
file:
DAP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
