My MCP Server

What is My MCP Server?

My MCP Server is a sample server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI models like Claude to local data sources and tools. It demonstrates how to build and configure a custom MCP server for use with Claude Desktop.

How to use My MCP Server?

Download Claude Desktop, build the server with npm install and npm run build, then register it in the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) by specifying the path to build/main.js. After restarting Claude Desktop, the server appears as a connected MCP tool.

Key features of My MCP Server

• Implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard.
• Connects Claude Desktop to local data or web APIs.
• Bundled as a Node.js script built from source.
• Works out of the box with the official Claude Desktop client.
• Designed as a reference implementation for developers.

Use cases of My MCP Server

• Querying real‑time weather forecasts from a web API through Claude.
• Learning how to build and deploy a custom MCP server for personal AI tools.
• Prototyping integrations between LLMs and local file systems or databases.
• Demonstrating the MCP connection flow for developer workshops or documentation.

FAQ from My MCP Server

What is the purpose of My MCP Server?

It serves as a minimal example of an MCP server, showing how to let Claude Desktop access external data (e.g., a weather API) via the Model Context Protocol.

How do I install My MCP Server?

Clone the repository, run npm install and npm run build, then add its path to the claude_desktop_config.json file under the mcpServers key.

Which runtime or dependencies are required?

Node.js is needed to run the server. The exact version is not specified, but the build script assumes a standard Node environment.

Where does My MCP Server store or access data?

The server itself does not store data. In the example, it fetches weather data from a web API; data sources are determined by the server’s code.

Does My MCP Server support authentication or multiple transports?

The README only covers a local stdio transport for Claude Desktop. No authentication mechanisms or alternate transports (e.g., HTTP) are described.
