This document provides a tutorial on building a simple MCP calculator server and connecting it to Claude for Desktop.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a protocol that allows developers to extend AI assistants with custom tools and servers. This tutorial guides you through building a simple MCP calculator server that exposes four tools: add, subtract, multiply, and divide. The server is then connected to an MCP host, specifically Claude for Desktop. MCP servers can provide resources, tools, and prompts, but this tutorial focuses on tools. The server is built using Python and the MCP SDK, and it is designed to run locally, making it compatible with desktop hosts like Claude for Desktop. The tutorial includes steps for setting up the environment, implementing tool execution, and configuring the server to work with Claude for Desktop.

Features

Customizable MCP server: Build a server with custom tools for AI assistants.
Tool execution: Implement arithmetic operations like add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
Local server hosting: Designed to run locally, compatible with desktop hosts.
Python-based: Utilizes Python and the MCP SDK for server development.
Integration with Claude for Desktop: Connects the server to Claude for Desktop for enhanced functionality.
