Simple Animal Data MCP Server

A simple MCP server providing static information about animals like cats, dogs, and birds.

A basic Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides static information about animals (cats, dogs, and birds) for use with Claude Desktop.
- Clone or download this project
- Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt

source venv/bin/activate python server.py

- get_cat_info: Returns information about cats
- get_dog_info: Returns information about dogs
- get_bird_info: Returns information about birds

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, you need to create or edit the MCP configuration file:

macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows:%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Linux:~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

If the file doesn't exist, create it with the following content:

{ "mcpServers": { "animal-data": { "command": "python", "args": ["/Users/james/Work/mcp/simple/server.py"], "cwd": "/Users/james/Work/mcp/simple", "env": { "PATH": "/Users/james/Work/mcp/simple/venv/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" } } } }

Alternative: Using Claude Desktop Settings

You can also configure this through Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to Settings (Cmd+, on macOS or Ctrl+, on Windows)
- Navigate to the "Developer" tab
- Click "Edit Config" to open the configuration file
- Add the MCP server configuration as shown above

- Replace/Users/james/Work/mcp/simplewith your actual project directory path
- Restart Claude Desktop after making configuration changes

Once configured, you can ask Claude Desktop to use the animal data tools:

- Claude will use theget_cat_infotool and return: "Cats are independent, agile domestic animals known for their hunting skills and affectionate nature."

"What information do you have about dogs?"

- Claude will use theget_dog_infotool and return: "Dogs are loyal, social companion animals known for their intelligence and strong bond with humans."

- Claude will use theget_bird_infotool and return: "Birds are feathered, winged animals capable of flight, known for their diverse songs and nesting behaviors."

"Compare cats, dogs, and birds"

- Claude will use all three tools to gather information and provide a comparison.

For remote deployment, use the HTTP server version:

# Install HTTP dependencies source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements-http.txt # Start the HTTP server python http_server.py

The server will start onhttp://localhost:8000and accept MCP requests via HTTP POST to/mcp.

For HTTP deployment, use the alternative configuration fileclaude_desktop_config_http.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "animal-data-http": { "command": "curl", "args": [ "-X", "POST", "http://your-server.com:8000/mcp", "-H", "Content-Type: application/json", "-d", "@-" ] } } }

Replacehttp://your-server.com:8000with your actual server URL.

- Local HTTP: Run onlocalhost:8000for local HTTP testing
- Remote Server: Deploy to cloud services like Heroku, AWS, Google Cloud
- Docker: Containerize for easy deployment

FROM python:3.11-slim WORKDIR /app COPY requirements-http.txt . RUN pip install -r requirements-http.txt COPY http_server.py . EXPOSE 8000 CMD ["python", "http_server.py"]
