Overview

Quick MCP Example is a demonstration project that showcases a simple implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and client, aimed at standardizing interactions with Large Language Models (LLMs).

To use this project, clone the repository, set up the ChromaDB database, create a virtual environment, install the necessary packages, and run the client and server scripts.

  • Demonstrates the architecture of MCP servers, clients, and hosts. - Provides tools for LLMs to interact with external systems and databases. - Includes reusable prompts for standardized interactions.
  1. Integrating LLMs with various data sources for enhanced context.
  2. Creating modular applications that can utilize different MCP servers.
  3. Developing chatbots that leverage tools and resources for dynamic responses.

Use these steps to connect Standardizing LLM Interaction with MCP Servers in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quick-mcp-example-alucek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-quick-mcp-example-alucek"
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, allowing for a unified framework for LLM-based applications.

How do I set up the MCP server?

Follow the setup instructions in the repository, including cloning the repo, creating the database, and running the server and client scripts.

Can I customize the MCP server?

Yes! The implementation is flexible, allowing developers to create custom user experiences and functionalities.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":2181,"uuid":"2e0344ed-c078-44be-a2d3-389170970577","name":"quick-mcp-example","title":"Standardizing LLM Interaction with MCP Servers","description":"Short and sweet example MCP server / client implementation for Tools, Resources and Prompts.","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/149807294?v=4","created_at":"2025-03-09T03:57:47.992Z","updated_at":"2025-03-12T10:19:30.138Z","status":"created","author_name":"ALucek","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/149807294?v=4","tags":"mcp,model-context-protocol,model-context-protocol-servers","category":"research-and-data","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/ALucek/quick-mcp-example","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":"https://github.com/ALucek/quick-mcp-example/raw/main/media/mcp_arch.png","type":null,"metadata":"{\"star\":\"3\",\"license\":\"\",\"language\":\"Python\",\"is_official\":false,\"latest_commit_time\":\"2025-03-07 18:54:11\"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
