👉 Introduction

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open source protocol released by Anthropic in November 2024. It is designed for large language models (LLM) and aims to solve the standardization problem of connecting AI with external data sources and systems. MCP provides a structural framework that enables models to integrate and leverage external context in conversations, thereby extending their capabilities and improving the accuracy of their responses.

MCP provides the following three capabilities to extend LLM:

• Resources for knowledge expansion
• Tools calls external tools
• Prompts Pre-written prompts

Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector <command> <arg1> <arg2>

Inspecting servers from NPM or PyPi

• NPM package

  npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx <package-name> <args>
  # For example
  npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx server-postgres postgres://127.0.0.1/testdb
  

• PyPi package

  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx <package-name> <args>
  # For example
  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-git --repository ~/code/mcp/servers.git
  

Inspecting locally developed servers

• TypeScript

  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node path/to/server/index.js args...
  

• Python

  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
      uv \
      --directory path/to/server \
      run \
      package-name \
      args...
