mcp-server-demo

This repository is a simple MCP example. It contains an MCP server implementation in Python, using FastMCP library and offers setup for the suggested client, Claude.

Setup

Prerequisite: Python 3.10

Clone This Repository

git clone https://github.com/henapotogija-abh/MCP-Server.git
cd MCP-Server

Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

python3.10 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # On macOS/Linux

Install dependencies

(venv) pip install --upgrade pip
(venv) pip install -r requirements.txt

Run MCP Server with Claude

Go to Claude settings > Developer tab. Click on Edit config, which will point to claude_desktop_config.json file. This file might be empty at first, but in order to configure the MCP server to be discoverable to Claude, paste the following:

{
  "preferences": {
    "menuBarEnabled": false
  },
  "mcpServers": {
    "mock_company_data": {
      "command": "<system python filepath>",
      "args": ["<project_root>/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "<system filepath to this repository>r"
      }
    }
  }
}

Quit and reopen Claude after saving these changes.

What This Project Offers

The idea behind this particular MCP server is that we have an API that can fetch data about a company, customers, and sales. We want to expose these operations to the MCP server connected to Claude so that we don’t have to execute them from this API ourselves.

There are 4 exposed MCP development tools, get_sales_summary(), get_customer_info(id), list_customers(), and post_report(title, content) and they are highlighted in the diagram below.

   Claude ↔ MCP Client ↔ Tools

Prompt Examples:

• List MCP Tools: List all the tools you have access to through the connected MCP server and describe what each one does.
• Sales Summary: Fetch the current sales summary and tell me which product is performing best.
• Purchase Information: Show me information about customer ID 2, including their name, region, and how many purchases they made.
• Customer Information: List all customers and tell me which one is from Asia
• Save Reports: Generate today’s sales report based on the current sales summary, save it as a report, and then confirm that the file was created successfully
