SmallCloud MCP Server Demo

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

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-org/smallcloud-mcp-server.git
    cd smallcloud-mcp-server
    
  2. 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:
