About SmallCloud MCP Server Demo
SmallCloud MCP Server Demo is a minimal Node.js example for developers exploring Anthropic’s MCP SDK and MCP hosts such as Claude Desktop. It exposes a single greeting tool.
Key features
- 01Anthropic MCP SDK example
- 02Single `get_hello` tool
- 03Node.js server entry point
- 04Startup and tool-listing tests
Use cases
- 01Trying an MCP server with Claude Desktop
- 02Checking server startup and tool discovery
MCP support
It is an MCP server built with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol SDK. MCP clients can call its `get_hello` tool, which returns a greeting.
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.

Overview
SmallCloud MCP Server Demonstration of an Anthropic MCP server using the Model Context Protocol SDK by Anthropic. For use with Claude Desktop and other MCP Hosts.
This is a demo for Mac OS. Windows may require some small adjustments. I would consider creating a package as opposed to just an index.js file (like in this demo) if you expect your MCP solution to be reusable by others.

Prerequisites
- Node.js (version 18 or later recommended) #installed by homebrow in this example
- npm
Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-org/smallcloud-mcp-server.git cd smallcloud-mcp-server -
Install dependencies:
npm install
Usage
Run the server:
node index.js
Claude Desktop Configuration (MacOS)
To make the MCP Server appear in Claude Desktop on MacOS, add the following to your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"smallcloud-mcp-server": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": [
"~/Git/smallcloud-mcp-server/index.js"
]
}
}
}
Note: Adjust the path to index.js to match your local repository location.
Available Tools
Currently, the server includes one demonstration tool:
get_hello: Returns a "Hello, World!" message
Development
Running Tests
To run the test suite:
npm test
The test suite currently checks:
- Server startup
- Tool listing functionality

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.
