What is Smallcloud Mcp Server

SmallCloud MCP Server is a demonstration of an Anthropic MCP server utilizing the Model Context Protocol SDK by Anthropic. It is designed for use with Claude Desktop and other MCP Hosts.

Use cases

Use cases include developing and testing AI applications, integrating with Claude Desktop for enhanced functionality, and serving as a prototype for other MCP solutions.

How to use

To use SmallCloud MCP Server, clone the repository, install the dependencies using npm, and run the server with the command ‘node index.js’. Configure Claude Desktop to recognize the MCP Server by adding the necessary configuration to the ‘claude_desktop_config.json’ file.

Key features

Key features include a simple server implementation for MacOS, a demonstration tool that returns a ‘Hello, World!’ message, and a test suite for verifying server functionality.

Where to use

SmallCloud MCP Server can be used in AI applications, particularly those that involve language models and coding resources, as well as in development environments requiring MCP integration.

SmallCloud MCP Server Demo

Overview

SmallCloud MCP Server Demonstration of an Anthropic MCP server using the Model Context Protocol SDK by Anthropic. For use with Claude Desktop and other MCP Hosts.

This is a demo for Mac OS. Windows may require some small adjustments. I would consider creating a package as opposed to just an index.js file (like in this demo) if you expect your MCP solution to be reusable by others.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (version 18 or later recommended) #installed by homebrow in this example
• npm

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-org/smallcloud-mcp-server.git
   cd smallcloud-mcp-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

Usage

Run the server:

node index.js

Claude Desktop Configuration (MacOS)

To make the MCP Server appear in Claude Desktop on MacOS, add the following to your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smallcloud-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "~/Git/smallcloud-mcp-server/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Adjust the path to index.js to match your local repository location.

Available Tools

Currently, the server includes one demonstration tool:

• get_hello: Returns a “Hello, World!” message

Development

Running Tests

To run the test suite:

npm test

The test suite currently checks:

• Server startup
• Tool listing functionality
