MCP Expert Server
A Model Context Protocol server that provides intelligent query generation and documentation assistance using Claude AI. The server analyzes your API documentation and provides two main tools:
**create-query**: Generates queries based on natural language requests
**documentation**: Provides relevant documentation information based on questions
Prerequisites
Node.js >= 18
An Anthropic API key for Claude
Installation
Clone the repository
Install dependencies:
Create a `.env` file with your Anthropic API key:
Setup
Before running the server, you need to:
Build the project and run the setup script:
This will:
Create the required directories (`docs/` and `prompts/`)
Create default prompt files
Generate an initial service description
Add your API documentation files to the `docs/` directory (supports `.txt`, `.md`, and `.json` files)
Optionally customize the prompts in the `prompts/` directory:
- `system-prompt.txt`: Main system prompt for Claude
- `tool-metadata.txt`: Additional context for tool descriptions
- `query-metadata.txt`: Additional context for query generation
- `service-description.txt`: Auto-generated service description
Usage
Standalone Server
Start the server:
The server exposes two tools via the Model Context Protocol:
**create-query**: Generate a query based on natural language request
```json
{
"name": "create-query",
"arguments": {
"request": "Find all users who signed up in the last week"
}
}
```
**documentation**: Get information from the documentation
```json
{
"name": "documentation",
"arguments": {
"request": "How do I authenticate API requests?"
}
}
```
Claude Desktop Integration
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
Replace `/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/expert-server` with the actual absolute path to your server installation.
Restart Claude Desktop.
Directory Structure
Development
Build the project:
The server uses TypeScript and follows a modular architecture
All Claude interactions are handled by the ExpertService class
Debug logs are written to stderr with [DEBUG] prefix
Troubleshooting
If you encounter connection issues:
Ensure you've run the setup script:
Check that all required files exist in the `prompts/` directory
Verify your `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is correctly set
Use absolute paths in your Claude Desktop config
Check the debug logs (written to stderr)
Environment Variables
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Anthropic API key (required)
