Overview

What is python-pip-mcp?

python-pip-mcp is a minimal example implementation of an Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP) client and server in Python using Pip. It provides a reference implementation designed for debugging in VSCode on Windows with the Python Debugger extension.

How to use python-pip-mcp?

Create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from requirements.txt, copy .env.sample to .env and set your Anthropic API key, then run python mcp_client.py. The client will query the MCP server for the current time.

Frequently asked questions

What does python-pip-mcp demonstrate?

It demonstrates a minimal MCP client and server that can be run and debugged in VSCode on Windows, with a simple time-query tool.

What dependencies are required?

Python 3, a virtual environment, the packages listed in `requirements.txt`, and an Anthropic API key (set in a `.env` file).

How do I run the example?

After installing dependencies and setting the API key, run `python mcp_client.py` from the activated virtual environment.

What operating systems and IDEs are supported?

Windows with VSCode is explicitly supported; other IDEs and OS are untested but should work with minimal adjustments.

Where does the example query get data?

The server responds with the current time; no external data source is required beyond the Anthropic API for MCP communication.
