Dotika MCP Server

MCP server that provides searchable information about the Dotika AI company using Google results via SerpAPI. Exposes a single tool, search_dotika_info, that agents/clients (e.g., Claude Desktop) can call to retrieve relevant links and summaries.

Note: This project is intended to run as an MCP stdio server. You can run it directly or integrate it with Claude Desktop via claude_desktop_config.json in this repo.

Features

• Single tool: search_dotika_info (general/news/site_specific search)
• Async HTTP via httpx
• Simple, readable text output suitable for chat UIs
• Works as a standalone stdio server or with Claude Desktop

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• pip

Install deps (minimal):

pip install mcp httpx

Alternatively, create and use a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
./.venv/Scripts/activate  # Windows
pip install mcp httpx

Quick Start

Run the MCP server directly:

python dotika_mcp_server.py

This starts an stdio MCP server process. Most users will connect through an MCP-compatible client.

Claude Desktop Integration

This repo includes an example claude_desktop_config.json. Update the paths to your local Python and this script, then add the block to Claude Desktop’s config file.

Example snippet (adds the key via env):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dotika-info": {
      "command": "C:/path/to/python.exe",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/dotika_Agent/dotika_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "SERPAPI_API_KEY": "<your_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The server will appear under available MCP servers.

Tool API

Tool name: search_dotika_info

Input schema:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {"type": "string", "description": "Question about Dotika"},
    "search_type": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["general", "news", "site_specific"],
      "default": "general"
    }
  },
  "required": ["query"]
}

Example prompts:

• Query general info: {"query": "What services does Dotika provide?"}
• News search: {"query": "Dotika recent news", "search_type": "news"}
• Site specific: {"query": "pricing", "search_type": "site_specific"}

Configuration

• SerpAPI key: Set SERPAPI_API_KEY in your environment. The server reads this at startup; no keys are stored in code.
  • PowerShell (current session): $env:SERPAPI_API_KEY = "<your_key>"
  • PowerShell (persist): setx SERPAPI_API_KEY "<your_key>"
  • Bash: export SERPAPI_API_KEY=\"<your_key>\"
  • Or pass via Claude Desktop env as shown above.
• Logging: Uses Python’s standard logging at INFO level.

Development

• Key files:
  • dotika_mcp_server.py: MCP server implementation and tool handler
  • test_mcp.py: quick smoke test that the server instantiates
  • claude_desktop_config.json: example Claude Desktop config snippet

Run the quick test:

python test_mcp.py

Known Notes

• dotika_requirements.txt includes packaging boilerplate in addition to requirements; prefer pip install mcp httpx as shown above.
• debug_faq.py references a get_dotika_faq function which is not implemented in dotika_mcp_server.py.
