Python 从0到1构建MCP Server & Client

中文 | English

简介

MCP Server 是实现模型上下文协议（MCP）的服务器，旨在为 AI 模型提供一个标准化接口，连接外部数据源和工具，例如文件系统、数据库或 API。

MCP 的优势

在 MCP 出现前，AI 调用工具基本通过 Function Call 完成，存在以下问题：

1. 不同的大模型厂商 Function Call 格式不一致
2. 大量 API 工具的输入和输出格式不一致，封装管理繁琐

MCP 相当于一个统一的 USB-C，不仅统一了不同大模型厂商的 Function Call 格式，也对相关工具的封装进行了统一。

MCP 传输协议

目前 MCP 支持两种主要的传输协议：

1. Stdio 传输协议

   • 针对本地使用
   • 需要在用户本地安装命令行工具
   • 对运行环境有特定要求

2. SSE（Server-Sent Events）传输协议

   • 针对云服务部署
   • 基于 HTTP 长连接实现

项目结构

MCP Server

• Stdio 传输协议（本地）
• SSE 传输协议（远程）

MCP Client（客户端）

• 自建客户端（Python）
• Cursor
• Cline

环境配置

1. 安装 UV 包

MacOS/Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

2. 初始化项目

# 创建项目目录
uv init mcp-server
cd mcp-server

# 创建并激活虚拟环境
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# 安装依赖
uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx

# 创建服务器实现文件
touch main.py

构建工具函数

为了让大模型能访问市面上主流框架的技术文档，我们主要通过用户输入的 query，结合指定 site 特定域名的谷歌搜索进行搜索相关网页，并对相关网页进行解析提取网页文本并返回。

1. 构建相关文档映射字典

docs_urls = {
    "langchain": "python.langchain.com/docs",
    "llama-index": "docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable",
    "autogen": "microsoft.github.io/autogen/stable",
    "agno": "docs.agno.com",
    "openai-agents-sdk": "openai.github.io/openai-agents-python",
    "mcp-doc": "modelcontextprotocol.io",
    "camel-ai": "docs.camel-ai.org",
    "crew-ai": "docs.crewai.com"
}

2. 构建 MCP 工具

    payload = json.dumps({"q": query, "num": 3})

        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    }

    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        try:
            response = await client.post(
                SERPER_URL, headers=headers, data=payload, timeout=30.0

            return text
        except httpx.TimeoutException:
            return "Timeout error"

    query = f"site:{docs_urls[library]} {query}"
    results = await search_web(query)
    if len(results["organic"]) == 0:
        return "No results found"

    text = ""
    for result in results["organic"]:
        text += await fetch_url(result["link"])

    return text

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run(transport="stdio")

启动命令：

uv run main.py

2. 客户端配置

2.1 基于 Cline

首先在 Visual Studio Code 安装 Cline 插件，然后进行配置 MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<你的项目路径>",
        "run",
        "main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

成功绑定如图（左侧绿灯）：

2.2 基于 Cursor

项目根目录创建 .cursor 文件夹，并创建 mcp.json 文件，如：

然后粘贴以下内容到 mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<你的项目路径>",
        "run",
        "main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

成功配置如图：
