Setting Up a Simple mCP Server: A Step-by-Step Guide
Creating a simple mCP (Micro-Command Protocol) server can be a straightforward and rewarding process. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to set up such a server using a Python tool to count the occurrences of the letter "R" in any given word. This process will utilize Claude Desktop as the AI assistant for interfacing with your mCP server.
