- 02Exploring a basic sentiment-server setup
MCP support
It is an MCP server for text sentiment. The README does not specify the tools or results it exposes to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Prerequisites
ℹ️ NOTE: This setup is only tested on macOS.
Install Homebrew using these instructions
Python
Any version at or above Python 3.10 should work. Install it like so:
brew install python
Also install the Python package manager uv using the official instructions.
npx
We'll need npx as well. We can get it by installing the Node package manager npm.
Install the npm version manager nvm using these instructions.
Then install Node.js and npm. We'll go with Node version 22 "Jod" (LTS).
nvm install lts/jod
That should give you Node.js, npm, and npx all at once. You can verify the npx installation by running:
npx --version
Install dependencies
At the root of the project directory, run the following:
uv sync
Run and test the server
The MCP SDK is part of the project dependencies, so we can use the MCP Inspector utility.
In the root of the project directory directory, run:
uv run mcp dev server.py
It will output a message like:
MCP Inspector is up and running at http://127.0.0.1:{somePort}
Go ahead and open that URL in your browser to view the MCP Inspector.
For the Transport Type, select STDIO. Click Connect and if that works, you will the inspector view populate.

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.
