mcp-pymilvus-code-generate-helper

A Model Context Protocol server that retrieves relevant code snippets or documents to help generating pymilvus code.

Prerequisites

Before using this MCP server, ensure you have:

• Python 3.10 or higher
• A running Milvus instance (local or remote)
• uv installed (recommended for running the server)

Usage

The recommended way to use this MCP server is to run it directly with uv without installation. This is how both Claude Desktop and Cursor are configured to use it in the examples below. The server now support both sse and stdio:

SSE

Running the Server

uv run src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/sse_server.py
# mcp server will connect to local milvus server(http://localhost:19530) by default if no milvus_uri is provided
# to connect to a remote milvus server, you can specify the milvus_uri like this:
# uv run src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/sse_server.py --milvus_uri http://<your-server-ip>:<your-server-port>

Usage with Cursor

1. Go to Cursor > Preferences > Cursor Settings > MCP
2. Click on the + Add New MCP Server button
3. Fill out the form:
   • Name: pymilvus-code-generate-helper (or any name you prefer)
   • Type: Select sse
   • Server URL: http://localhost:23333/sse (replace with your server's IP address)
4. Click Save

You can also directly edit mcp.json as below:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pymilvus-code-generate-helper": {
      "url": "http://localhost:23333/sse"
    }
  }
}

Usage with Claude Desktop

⚠️ Claude desktop is currently limited in its ability to connect to remote MCP servers

STDIO

Running the Server

uv run src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/stdio_server.py
# mcp server will connect to local milvus server(http://localhost:19530) by default if no milvus_uri is provided
# to connect to a remote milvus server, you can specify the milvus_uri like this:
# uv run src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/stdio_server.py --milvus_uri http://<your-server-ip>:<your-server-port>

Usage with Cursor

1. Go to Cursor > Preferences > Cursor Settings > MCP
2. Click on the + Add New MCP Server button
3. Fill out the form:
   • Name: pymilvus-code-generate-helper (or any name you prefer)
   • Type: Select stdio
   • Command: /PATH/TO/uv --directory /path/to/mcp-pymilvus-code-generator run src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/stdio_server.py
4. Click Save

You can also directly edit mcp.json as below:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pymilvus-code-generate-helper": {
      "command": "/PATH/TO/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-pymilvus-code-generator",
        "run",
        "src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/stdio_server.py",
        "--milvus_uri",
        "http://localhost:19530"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "YOUR OPENAI API KEY HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage with Claude Desktop

1. Install Claude Desktop from https://claude.ai/download
2. Open your Claude Desktop configuration:
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
3. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pymilvus-code-generate-helper": {
      "command": "/PATH/TO/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-server-milvus/src/mcp_server_milvus",
        "run",
        "src/mcp_pymilvus_code_generate_helper/stdio_server.py",
        "--milvus_uri",
        "http://localhost:19530"
      ], 
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "YOUR OPENAI API KEY HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop

⚠️ Note: Remember to set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
