python-pip-mcp

This repository offers a minimal Python implementation of an Anthropic MCP Client and Server, designed for easy debugging with VSCode on Windows using the Python Debugger extension. While other IDEs and operating systems aren't explicitly tested, they should function with minor modifications.

The primary objective is to provide a readily understandable reference for both MCP client and server functionalities.

Installation

To get started:

1. Create a virtual environment using python -m venv myenv and activate it with myenv\Scripts\activate.
2. Install the necessary dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Duplicate the .env.sample file to .env and configure your Anthropic API key within it.
4. Execute the client script with python mcp_client.py.
5. The client is now ready to query for the current time.
