Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Quip MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Set up the required environment variables:
export QUIP_TOKEN=your_quip_api_token
export QUIP_BASE_URL=https://platform.quip.com # Optional, defaults to this value
export QUIP_STORAGE_PATH=/path/to/storage # Optional, defaults to ~/.quip-mcp-server/storage
Alternatively, create a .env file in the root directory:
QUIP_TOKEN=your_quip_api_token
QUIP_BASE_URL=https://platform.quip.com
QUIP_STORAGE_PATH=/path/to/storage
Add to your Claude settings:
"mcpServers": {
"quip": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["quip-mcp-server", "--storage-path", "/path/to/storage"],
"env": {
"QUIP_TOKEN": "your_quip_api_token"
}
}
}
If you want to use the file protocol for resource URIs:
"mcpServers": {
"quip": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["quip-mcp-server", "--storage-path", "/path/to/storage", "--file-protocol"],
"env": {
"QUIP_TOKEN": "your_quip_api_token"
}
}
}
Run the server directly:
python -m src.server --storage-path /path/to/storage
- pyproject.toml: Standard Python packaging configuration
- uvproject.yaml: uv-specific project configuration
- .uv/config.toml: uv configuration settings
- .python-version: Specifies Python 3.12 as the project's Python version (used by pyenv and other version managers)
To set up a development environment:
uv venv
uv pip install -e .
uv pip install pytest black isort mypy
Alternatively, you can use the uvproject.yaml file:
uv pip sync
source .venv/bin/activate
The project uses pytest for testing. To run the tests:
TEST_THREAD_ID=your_test_spreadsheet_thread_id
TEST_SHEET_NAME=Sheet1 # Optional: specific sheet name to test
2. Run the e2e tests:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx quip-mcp-server
To add new tools:
1. Define the tool in src/tools.py by adding it to the get_quip_tools() function.
2. Implement the handler function for the tool.
3. Register the handler in src/server.py by adding it to the call_tool() function.
