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

Seamless local integration
Automatically discovered by Claude Desktop without complex configuration
Custom tool development
Supports rapid development of various functional extensions in Python
Full MCP protocol support
Implements all functions specified in the Model Context Protocol
Advantages
Lightweight Python implementation, easy to deploy and maintain
Perfectly compatible with the Claude ecosystem
Supports rapid prototyping and tool iteration
Limitations
Currently only supports local development environments
Requires basic Python knowledge to develop custom tools
Performance may be inferior to native implementations

How to use

Install the Python package
Install the claude-mcp-server package via pip
Create a tool module
