Overview

What is Groq MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Groq’s lightning-fast model inference, including chat, vision, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, batch processing, and agentic tools. It is designed for developers using MCP clients like Claude Desktop to integrate Groq’s API capabilities directly into their workflows.

How to use Groq MCP Server?

Requires a free Groq API key and Python with uv (or pip). For Claude Desktop, add the server configuration to claude_desktop_config.json using uvx groq-mcp and your API key. For other clients, install the package and run groq-mcp-config to generate configuration. Optional BASE_OUTPUT_PATH environment variable sets where generated files are saved.

Key features of Groq MCP Server

  • Ultra-fast LLM inference with Groq models
  • Vision – image analysis and understanding
  • Text-to-speech (TTS) – natural speech synthesis
  • Speech-to-text (STT) – transcription and translation
  • Batch processing – process large workloads efficiently
  • Agentic tool usage (compound-beta) for web search, code generation, and API calls

Use cases of Groq MCP Server

  • Perform agentic tasks combining web search, code execution, and data retrieval
  • Analyze images and extract structured information (e.g., JSON)
  • Convert text to speech or transcribe audio files in multiple languages
  • Process high-volume batch prompts via JSONLines files
  • Build applications with full access to Groq’s documentation and models

Frequently asked questions

3

What client applications are supported?

Works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf. Installation instructions differ; for non-Claude clients use `groq-mcp-config` to generate the config.

4

Where can I find server logs?

Logs are stored at `~/Library/Logs/Claude/groq-mcp.log` on macOS and `%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\groq-mcp.log` on Windows.

5

Can I run the server from source?

Yes. Clone the repository, run `./scripts/setup.sh` (or manually create a virtual environment and install dependencies), then use `mcp install server.py` to register the server.
