This repository contains a python implementation of an MCP Host which is capable of running several MCP Servers with SSE protocol

What is Multiple MCP SSE Servers with a Python Host

Multiple MCP SSE Servers with a Python Host

This repository contains a Server-Sent Events (SSE) Model Control Protocol (MCP) client implementation that uses Google's Gemini API. The Host app reads the config.json file, instantiates instances of MCP Client class to launch the MCP servers and maintain connections with them, clean up on shutdown etc.

It's possible to package this host app as a dmg package and distribute which can then be used with any MCP SSE ervers. Todo: Add stdio server support Todo: Add multiple model support Todo: Add tool chaining

Setup

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/hackerinheels/multipleMCPServerWithPythonHost.git
    cd multipleMCPServerWithPythonHost
    
  2. Create a .env file in the root directory with your API keys:

    GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
    MODEL_NAME=gemini-2.0-flash
    

    You can get a Gemini API key from Google's AI Studio.

  3. Set up Google Calendar API using the instructions in the googleCalendar/README.md file

  4. Update config.json to include the browser-use server:

    {
        "mcpServers": {
            "calendar": {
                "command": "uv",
                "args": ["run", "googleCalendar/calendarServer.py", "--port", "8000"]
            },
            "browser-use": {
                "command": "uv",
                "args": ["run", "<path-to-browser-use-mcp-server>/server", "--port", "8006"]
            }
        }
    }
    

    Replace <path-to-browser-use-mcp-server> with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

  5. Create a .env file in the browser-use-mcp-server directory with the following configuration:

CHROME_PATH="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"

Running the Application

uv venv --python 3.11
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
uv run host.py

This will start all the servers listed in the config.json file

Usage

Once the servers and client are running, you can interact with them by typing queries.

Google Calendar Commands

The calendar server provides the following tools:

  • list_events: List upcoming calendar events
  • get_event_details: Get detailed information about a specific event
  • search_events: Search for events matching a query

Example queries:

  • "Show my upcoming events"
  • "Search for meetings with John"
  • "Get details for event {event_id}"

Browser Use For Browser Automation

This tool enable browser automation and control with the following tools:

  • 'browser_use'
  • 'browser_get_result'

Type quit to exit the client.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • UV package manager
  • Google Gemini API key
  • Google Calendar API credentials (for calendar server)

MCP Multi-Server Configuration

This repository demonstrates how to load and run multiple MCP servers using a configuration file.

Servers Included

Calendar Server

  • Interact with Google Calendar
  • Manage events and schedules

Browser-use Server

  • Automate browser interactions
  • Control Chrome browser programmatically
  • Execute browser-based tasks

4. Browser-use Server Environment Setup

Create a .env file in the browser-use-mcp-server directory with the following configuration:

CHROME_PATH="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"

Note: Make sure to replace "your-openai-api-key" with your actual OpenAI API key.

Notes

  • Make sure all API keys are properly configured in .env
  • Ensure Chrome is installed for browser-use server
  • Each server runs on its designated port
  • The host manages all server lifecycles

Troubleshooting

  • If a server fails to start, check its port availability
  • Verify all environment variables are set correctly
  • Ensure Chrome path is correct for your system

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
