ask_with_realtime_informationask_with_code_execution
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 18.0.0
- A Groq API key set in the
GROQ_API_KEYenvironment variable.
Installation
npm install groq-compound-mcp-server
Usage
This server follows the standard MCP server pattern using stdio for transport. It's designed to be run by an MCP client (like Claude Desktop or a custom client).
Refer to the official MCP Quickstart for Server Developers for instructions on setting up and connecting MCP servers.
When configuring your client, use the command npx groq-compound-mcp-server or groq-compound-mcp-server (if installed globally) to run this server.
Here's an example of how you might configure an MCP client (e.g., in a settings.json file) to launch this server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"groq-compound": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"groq-compound-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"GROQ_API_KEY": "YOUR_GROQ_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Hosting on Vercel
This server can also be deployed to Vercel.
Prerequisites:
- Ensure you have a Vercel account.
- Connect your Git repository to Vercel.
Environment Variables: Set the following environment variables in your Vercel project settings:
GROQ_API_KEY: Your Groq API key.REDIS_URL: (Recommended for SSE transport) The connection URL for a Redis instance (e.g., from Vercel KV or Upstash).
Build Configuration: Vercel should automatically detect it as a Next.js application. The build command
npm run build:vercel(oryarn build:vercel/pnpm build:vercel) and the output directory (.next) will be used.Accessing the MCP Server: Once deployed, your MCP server endpoints will be available at
https://your-deployment-url.vercel.app/api/mcp. For example, the SSE endpoint would behttps://your-deployment-url.vercel.app/api/mcp/sse.
Development with Vercel CLI
To run the Vercel deployment locally:
- Install Vercel CLI:
npm install -g vercel - Set up environment variables locally (e.g., in a
.env.localfile at the project root):GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key REDIS_URL=your_redis_url - Run the development server:
vercel devornpm run dev:vercel.
