What is Claude MCP Server?

Claude MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server implemented in Python that allows you to create custom tools (such as to-do list apps, database connections, or image editors) and seamlessly integrate them with Claude Desktop.

How to use Claude MCP Server?

Simply install the Python package, configure your tools, and then start the server. Claude Desktop will automatically discover and connect to the locally running MCP server.

Use cases

It is particularly useful when you need to extend Claude's functionality, add proprietary tools, or integrate private APIs. For example, internal database queries in an enterprise, personal automation tools, or professional functions in a specific domain.

Main features
