Enables real-time tool execution, structured knowledge retrieval, and dynamic agentic interactions for AI clients like Claude and Cursor.
Real-Time AI Infrastructure with MCP Server
Overview
The MCP-AI-Infra-Real-Time-Agent project implements an MCP (Model-Controlled Protocol) Server to facilitate real-time, documentation-grounded responses for AI systems like Claude and Cursor. The goal is to integrate an MCP client-server architecture that enables AI models to access structured knowledge and invoke specific tools dynamically.

Core Objectives
1. MCP Client-Server Integration
- Implement an MCP server that connects to AI clients such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet Desktop and Cursor.
- Use an existing MCP framework (e.g., mcpdoc) to avoid reinventing core functionalities.
2. Extending MCP Server Capabilities
- Develop custom tools for the MCP server, particularly for fetching external data such as weather forecasts and alerts.
- Expose these functionalities as MCP tools (
get_forecast
, get_alerts
), making them available to AI clients.
3. Enhancing AI Tool Execution
- Enable AI models to interact with the MCP server by invoking tools with user approval.
- Ensure proper handling of resources (e.g., API responses, file contents) and prompts (pre-written templates for structured tasks).
MCP Architecture & Workflow
1. MCP as a Universal AI Interface
- MCP functions as an interoperability layer, allowing external AI applications (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to interact with structured data sources and executable functions.
- It follows a USB-C-like architecture, where an MCP server acts as an external plugin that can be connected to various AI systems.
2. MCP Client-Server Roles
MCP Client (embedded in an AI host like Claude or Cursor)
- Requests tools, queries resources, and processes prompts.
- Acts as a bridge between the AI system and the MCP server.
MCP Server (implemented locally)
- Exposes tools (e.g., weather APIs) to be called dynamically by AI clients.
- Provides resources (e.g., API responses, database queries).
- Handles prompts to enable structured user interactions.
Key Features & Future Enhancements
- Agentic Composability: The architecture allows multi-layer agentic interactions, where an AI agent can act as both an MCP client and server. This enables modular, specialized agents to handle different tasks.
- Self-Evolving AI via Registry API: Future iterations could support dynamic tool discovery, where AI clients can register and discover new MCP capabilities in real time.
- Development & Debugging Support: Utilize Anthropic’s MCP Inspector to test and debug MCP interactions interactively without requiring full deployment.
Conclusion
This project builds an MCP-driven AI infrastructure that connects AI models with real-time structured knowledge, extends their capabilities via custom tool execution, and enhances agentic composability. The goal is to create an adaptive, plugin-like AI system that can integrate into multiple hosts while dynamically evolving through tool registration and runtime discoveries.
Appendix
- MCP is like USB-C: The MCP server acts as an external device that can connect with AI (Claude Desktop) or cloud apps. Functionality can be written once and plugged into many MCP hosts.
- MCP Client-Server Interaction: MCP clients invoke tools, query resources, and interpolate prompts, while MCP servers expose tools, resources, and prompts.
