What is mc-server-demo?

mc-server-demo is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that retrieves the latest documentation for a queried library. It uses the Serper API to perform Google searches for the relevant documentation. The server is designed for developers who want to access library documentation programmatically via MCP tools, either for debugging or integration into IDEs like Cursor.

How to use mc-server-demo?

To use mc-server-demo, first set a SERPER_API_KEY in a .env file. Then create a virtual environment, activate it, and install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
