Overview

What is Simple MCP Info Server?

A FastMCP-powered microservice that provides search tools for Wikipedia and Arxiv using the LangChain Community utilities, designed for plug-and-play use in modular AI systems or agent runtimes.

How to use Simple MCP Info Server?

Set up a Python 3.12+ project with uv, install dependencies (mcp[cli], langchain_community, wikipedia, arxiv), then run server.py via uv run. Configure Claude Desktop by adding an mcpServers entry in claude_desktop_config.json, or use a custom MCP client with the provided MCPClient pattern.

Key features of Simple MCP Info Server

  • Exposes two FastMCP tools: get_info (Wikipedia) and get_research_paper (Arxiv)
  • Runs over stdio for seamless MCP integration
  • Uses LangChain Community utilities for search and retrieval
  • Can be integrated with Claude Desktop or custom MCP agents
  • Minimal setup with uv and a single Python script

Use cases of Simple MCP Info Server

  • Retrieve short Wikipedia summaries via natural language queries
  • Fetch academic paper metadata from Arxiv for research
  • Equip an AI agent with real-time knowledge-search capabilities
  • Combine Wikipedia and Arxiv tools into a single MCP‑enabled system

Frequently asked questions

1

What is MCP?

Model Control Protocol (MCP) is a protocol that allows language models like Claude to communicate with external tools (called "capabilities") in a standardized way.

2

What tools does this server provide?

It provides two tools: `get_info(searchterm)` for Wikipedia summaries and `get_research_paper(searchterm)` for Arxiv paper metadata.

3

What are the prerequisites?

Python 3.12+, `uv` installed, and optionally Claude Desktop.

4

How do I configure it for Claude Desktop?

Add the `info-server` entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` with the `uv` binary path and the arguments pointing to the project directory and `server.py`.

5

How do I run the server?

Run `uv run server.py` inside the project’s virtual environment; the server listens over stdio.
