From the repository

Set up Python 3.12 and a virtual environment, install dependencies (e.g., uv sync), copy .env.example to .env and add your API keys, then run mcp install main.py to add the server to Claude Desktop or mcp dev main.py for debugging.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

🚀 Build Custom MCP Servers 📝☀️📰

📖 Project Description

This project demonstrates a simple MCP Servers built using the MCP mcp[cli] Python SDK. It provides several tools exposed through the MCP server:

Note Management: Add, read, retrieve the latest, and generate summaries of notes stored locally.
Weather Information: Fetch current weather data for a specified city using the WeatherAPI.com service.
News Search: Perform news searches using the Brave Search API.

It utilizes API keys stored in a .env file for external services.

🛠️ Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to get the FastMCP agent running:

1. Prerequisites:
Python 3.12 installed.
A virtual environment manager (like venv, pipenv, poetry, or uv) is recommended.

2. Clone the Repository (if you haven't already):

# Make sure you are in the correct parent directory git clone https://github.com/sourangshupal/Build-Custom-MCP-Servers # Or use the current directory if already cloned cd Build-Custom-MCP-Servers

3. Set up Virtual Environment & Install Dependencies:
Install dependencies (assuming uv, based on uv.lock, otherwise adjust for pip/poetry):

        uv sync

        uv lock

        source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use .venv\Scripts\activate

OR

pip install uv # if you don't have uv uv pip install -r requirements.txt # Or uv sync if using pyproject.toml directly # If not using uv, likely: pip install -r requirements.txt or poetry install or pip install .

4. Configure Environment Variables:
Copy the example environment file:

        cp .env.example .env

Edit the newly created .env file and add your API keys:

WEATHER_API_KEY="YOUR_WEATHER_API_KEY" BRAVE_API_KEY="YOUR_BRAVE_API_KEY"

5. Run the Agent:
Execute the main script:

        mcp install main.py

The FastMCP server should be added to Claude Desktop.

mcp dev main.py
Debug the MCP Server
