What is Create Python

Create MCP Server is a command-line tool for quickly setting up projects that adhere to the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables the creation of an MCP server with minimal setup, allowing developers to focus on building their applications without worrying about initial configuration.

Use cases

This tool is ideal for developers who want to create MCP-compliant servers quickly and efficiently. It can be used for various applications, such as deploying machine learning models, real-time data processing, and facilitating interactions between different software components while adhering to the Model Context Protocol.

How to use

To create a new MCP server, you can use either ‘uvx create-mcp-server’ or ‘pip install create-mcp-server’ followed by ‘create-mcp-server’. After the project setup, you can navigate to the created directory and run the server using ‘uv sync --dev --all-extras’ and ‘uv run my-server’.

Key features

Key features include a simple command-line interface for project creation, automatic configuration for Claude Desktop app integration, use of uvx for efficient package management, a pre-structured directory for the MCP server, and integration with the Model Context Protocol Python SDK.

Where to use

This tool can be used in any environment that requires the development of an MCP-compliant server. It’s suitable for both local development and deployment in cloud or on-premises environments where Model Context Protocol standards are needed.

MCP Create Server

Create Model Context Protocol (MCP) server projects with no build configuration.

Quick Overview

# Using uvx (recommended)
uvx create-mcp-server

# Or using pip
pip install create-mcp-server
create-mcp-server

You don’t need to install or configure any dependencies manually. The tool will set up everything you need to create an MCP server.

Creating a Server

You’ll need to have UV >= 0.4.10 installed on your machine.

To create a new server, run either of these commands:

Using uvx (recommended)

uvx create-mcp-server

Using pip

pip install create-mcp-server
create-mcp-server

It will walk you through creating a new MCP server project. When complete, you’ll have a new directory with this structure:

my-server/
├── README.md
├── pyproject.toml
└── src/
    └── my_server/
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── __main__.py
        └── server.py

No configuration or complicated folder structures, only the files you need to run your server.

Once installation is done, you can start the server:

cd my-server
uv sync --dev --all-extras
uv run my-server

Features

• Simple command-line interface for creating new projects
• Auto-configures Claude Desktop app integration when available
• Uses uvx for fast, reliable package management and project creation
• Sets up basic MCP server structure
• Uses the Model Context Protocol Python SDK for the server project

Philosophy

• Zero Configuration: No need to manually set up project structure or dependencies.
• Best Practices: Follows Python packaging standards and MCP server patterns.
• Batteries Included: Comes with everything needed to start building an MCP server.
