MCP support

The MCP server exposes a tool that fetches Wikipedia content and generates summaries with Ollama. A command-line client and Streamlit interface connect to the server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Wikipedia Summarizer MCP Server

A Model Client Protocol (MCP) server that fetches Wikipedia articles and summarizes them using Ollama LLM models.

Overview

This project consists of three main components:

  • Ollama Server: An MCP server that provides a tool to summarize Wikipedia articles using Ollama LLM models
  • Command-line Client: A client that can connect to the MCP server and request article summaries
  • Streamlit Interface: A web UI that provides a user-friendly way to interact with the MCP server

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • Ollama installed and running locally with the deepseek-r1:1.5b model (or update the model in ollama_server.py)
  • Internet connection to fetch Wikipedia articles

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Install the required packages:
    uv pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Running the Server

Start the MCP server:

uv run -- ollama_server.py

The server will be available at http://localhost:8000/sse.

Using the Command-line Client

uv run -- updated_client.py http://localhost:8000/sse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

Using the Streamlit Interface

Start the Streamlit application:

uv run -- streamlit run streamlit_new.py

Then open your browser at the URL provided by Streamlit (typically http://localhost:8501) and:

  1. Enter the MCP Server URL (default: http://localhost:8000/sse)
  2. Enter a Wikipedia article URL
  3. Click "Fetch and Summarize Article"

Components

ollama_server.py

Implements the MCP server with a tool for summarizing Wikipedia articles. It fetches article content, converts it to markdown, and uses Ollama to generate a summary.

updated_client.py

A command-line client that connects to the MCP server and calls the summarize_wikipedia_article tool.

streamlit_new.py

A Streamlit-based web interface that provides a user-friendly way to interact with the MCP server.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
