Claude MCP Tools

🚀 Upgraded Claude MCP Tools

A collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers designed to extend the capabilities of Claude.

🚀 Quick Start

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic. It enables secure two - way connections between AI models like Claude and external data sources, APIs, or tools.

MCP offers three main functions:

• Tools: Functions that can be invoked by Claude (subject to user approval).
• Resources: File - like data that clients can read.
• Prompts: Pre - written templates to assist users in completing specific tasks.

Servers in this Repository

This repository includes the following MCP servers:

1. News Search Server: A server that allows Claude to search for and retrieve the latest news articles.
2. Wikipedia Server: A server that enables Claude to search for and obtain Wikipedia content.
3. Analytics Server: A server for data analysis of CSV files.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher.
• Claude desktop application installed (v1.2.0+).

Installation Steps

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/henrygabriels/claude-mcp-tools.git
cd claude-mcp-tools

2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # For Windows users: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure the Claude desktop application to use these servers by editing the configuration file:

# For macOS users
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# For Windows users
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following content to the configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "news-search": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/news-search-server/server.py"
    },
    "wikipedia": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/wikipedia-server/server.py"
    },
    "analytics": {
      "command": "python /absolute/path/to/claude-mcp-tools/analytics-server/server.py"
    }
  }
}

4. Restart the Claude desktop application.
