MCP Lance Context

Overview

Use this skill when adding or updating the MCP server for lance-context or the Claude Code example that demonstrates memory/knowledge workflows.

Files to touch

• examples/mcp-claude-code/server/lance_context_mcp.py
• examples/mcp-claude-code/README.md
• examples/mcp-claude-code/requirements.txt

Workflow

1. Keep MCP tool outputs JSON-serializable (convert datetimes to strings).
2. Add or adjust tools that write to Context.add() and read via Context.list().
3. Update the README instructions and verify CLI commands stay accurate.
4. If dependencies change, update requirements.txt.

Claude Code setup

Use project-scoped MCP configuration with claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project. This writes a .mcp.json file in the project directory.
