Overview

What is MCP Server Setup Documentation?

MCP Server Setup Documentation is a guide for creating a Model Control Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Claude Desktop. It extends Claude’s capabilities by allowing it to interact with external systems and APIs, such as AWS services and GitHub. The server is built with Python and the FastMCP library, and is intended for developers who want to add custom tool functions to Claude.

How to use MCP Server Setup Documentation?

Install prerequisites (Python 3.8+, Claude Desktop, uv), then install required packages with uv add mcp[cli] pygithub boto3. Create a server.py file with custom tool functions decorated with @mcp.tool(). Test the server using uv run mcp install server.py, then configure Claude Desktop by editing its config JSON to point to your server script via uv run --with mcp[cli], pygithub, boto3 mcp run /full/path/to/server.py. Enable the server in Claude Desktop’s Developer settings.

  • Custom Python‑based MCP server for Claude Desktop
  • Integrates with AWS (EC2) and GitHub APIs
  • Uses environment variables for secure credential storage
  • Supports adding extra Python dependencies via --with
  • Includes error handling and troubleshooting guidance

Use cases of MCP Server Setup Documentation

  • Allow Claude to describe or start EC2 instances in a specified AWS region

  • Securely extend Claude with any custom API or system using Python

FAQ from MCP Server Setup Documentation

What is the purpose of this MCP server?

This server extends Claude Desktop by exposing custom Python functions as tools that Claude can call, allowing it to interact with external services like AWS and GitHub.

What are the prerequisites for using this server?

Python 3.8+, Claude Desktop, the uv package manager, and a basic understanding of Python and command‑line operations.

How do I handle API keys and credentials?

Store them in a .env file in the same directory as server.py and never hardcode them. Load them using load_dotenv() and environment variables like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or GITHUB_TOKEN.

What should I do if I get a connection refused error?

Make sure the server is actually running, check if the port is already in use, and verify that no firewall is blocking the connection.

How can I add additional Python dependencies to my server?

Add the package names to the --with argument in the Claude Desktop configuration JSON, e.g., --with mcp[cli], pygithub, boto3, pandas, requests.
