How I plugged it

  • I made a venv by using virtualenv(can use uv but was too complicated for me as I didn't know how to use it)
  • Did the code of main.py after installing the packages
  • Installing Claude Desktop and modified the config file:

  "mcpServers": {
    "dictionary-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["Path\\to\\main.py"],
      "cwd": "Path\\to\\mcp\\folder",
      "env": {
        "PATH": "Path\\to\\env\\Scripts;%PATH%"
      }
    }
  }
}
