Example MCP Server

🚀 MCP Server Template for Cursor IDE

A simple template for creating custom tools in Cursor IDE using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Create your own repository from this template, modify the tool, and connect it to your Cursor IDE.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Click the "Deploy to Heroku" button:

   

2. Configure Cursor after deployment:

   • Open "Cursor Settings" → "Features".
   • Add a new MCP server.
   • Use your Heroku URL with the /sse path (e.g., https://<your-app-name>.herokuapp.com/sse).

3. Test the agent's mood in Cursor:

   • Ask your agent: "Please tell me the mood of our server."
   • The server will respond with a cheerful message and a ❤️ heart symbol.

✨ Alternative Setup Methods

You can run the server in three ways: using Docker, traditional Python setup, or directly in Cursor IDE.

📦 Docker Setup

The project includes Docker support for easy deployment:

1. Initial setup:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/kirill-markin/weaviate-mcp-server.git
cd weaviate-mcp-server

# Create the environment file
cp .env.example .env

2. Build and run using Docker Compose:

# Build and start the server
docker compose up --build -d

# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Check the server status
docker compose ps

# Stop the server
docker compose down

3. The server will be available as follows:

   • SSE endpoint: http://localhost:8000/sse

4. Quick test:

# Test the server endpoint
curl -i http://localhost:8000/sse

5. Connect to Cursor IDE:
   • Open "Cursor Settings" → "Features".
   • Scroll to "MCP Servers".
   • Click "Add New MCP Server".
   • Fill out the form:
     • Name: Choose any name (e.g., "my-mcp-server-1").
     • Type: Select "sse".
     • URL: Enter http://localhost:8000/sse.

📦 Traditional Setup

First, install the uv package manager:

# Install uv on macOS
brew install uv
# Or install using pip (any operating system)
pip install uv

Start the server using stdio (default) or SSE transport:

# Install the package with development dependencies
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Use stdio transport (default)
uv run mcp-simple-tool

# Use SSE transport and a custom port
uv run mcp-simple-tool --transport sse --port 8000

# Run tests
uv run pytest -v

After installation, you can directly connect the server to Cursor IDE:

1. Right-click on the cursor-run-mcp-server.py file in Cursor.
2. Select "Copy Path".
3. Open a terminal and paste the path.
4. Press Enter to run.

🔧 Environment Variables

You can set the following environment variables in the .env file:

• PORT=8000 (default port)
• MCP_SERVER_NAME=server-name (server name)

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

1. Clone the repository.
2. Create and activate a Python virtual environment.
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Run the server: python cursor-run-mcp-server.py.
