MCP Server Python

What is mCP-server-python?

mcp-server-python is an Inkeep‑powered MCP server that lets you query your product documentation and content using a conversational search tool. It is intended for developers who manage documentation in Inkeep and want to surface that content through MCP‑compatible clients such as Claude Desktop.

How to use mCP-server-python?

Clone the repository, create a virtual environment with uv venv, install dependencies with uv pip install -r pyproject.toml, then obtain an API key from the Inkeep Dashboard. Finally, add the server configuration to your MCP client (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) with the required environment variables (INKEEP_API_BASE_URL, INKEEP_API_KEY, INKEEP_API_MODEL, INKEEP_MCP_TOOL_NAME, INKEEP_MCP_TOOL_DESCRIPTION).

• Connects to Inkeep’s RAG system for documentation retrieval
• Runs locally via the uv Python project manager
• Exposes a single MCP tool (search-product-content) for conversational queries
