About MCP Tools Project
MCP Tools Project is a Python project with an echo server for testing and a browser automation server built with browser-use and LangChain. It is for developers who need to test MCP communication or expose web automation through MCP.
Key features
- 01Echo messages as resources and tools
- 02Browser automation through browser-use
- 03LangChain and OpenAI integration
Use cases
- 01Testing MCP message exchange
- 02Providing browser automation to MCP clients
MCP support
It implements two MCP servers: one exposes echo messages as resources and tools, and the other provides browser automation capabilities 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.
Details
From the project READMEMCP Tools Project
This project implements two MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers:
- Echo MCP Server: A simple echo server for testing MCP communication
- Browser-use MCP Server: A browser automation server using browser-use and LangChain
Requirements
- Python 3.12+
- Virtual environment
- Required packages (see requirements.txt)
Installation
- Create and activate virtual environment:
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Set up environment variables:
# Create .env file with your OpenAI API key
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
MCP Servers
Echo Server
Simple echo server that demonstrates basic MCP functionality:
- Echo messages as resources
- Echo messages as tools
Browser-use Server
Browser automation server that:
- Uses browser-use library for web automation
- Integrates with LangChain and OpenAI
- Provides browser automation capabilities through MCP
Usage
- Start Echo server in development mode:
mcp dev echo_server.py
- Start Browser-use server in development mode:
mcp dev browser_use_mcp.py
Configuration
MCP server configurations are stored in .cursor/mcp.json.

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.
