About Documentation MCP Server
Documentation MCP Server is a Python MCP server project created by following a tutorial. The README focuses on setup and testing rather than describing the server's exposed capabilities.
Key features
- 01Python MCP server setup
- 02Claude configuration guidance
- 03MCP Inspector debugging instructions
Use cases
- 01Adding the server to a Claude project
- 02Checking server registration with the CLI
- 03Debugging the server with MCP Inspector
MCP support
The project is an MCP server, but the README does not specify the tools or resources it exposes.
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.

Initialization
To add the mcp server to claude run:
claude mcp add
Give a server a chosen name when prompted.
I chose for the server to be available in the project directory as recommended.
For the server command, i use the entire binary for my uv installation:
/Users/baw/.local/bin/uv
For command arguements, use:
--directory /Users/baw/Desktop/dev/mcp/first_mcp_server run main.py
Continue without environment variables since a .env file I already declared. Confirm and the server should be installed.
Testing
To list the available mcp servers run:
clause mcp list
The new server first_mcp server should be listed.
We can run claude code using command:
claude
Then test with a query like:
create a new function that implements a chroma db vector database with langchain. Make sure to use the latest integration
Run MCP Inspector to debug Server with:
npx @modelcontextprotocal/inspector uv run main.py
Comments
New to MCP?
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.
