A versatile personal assistant AI agent built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that helps with calendar, tasks, emails, and more.
This project is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a set of tools for a personal assistant agent. It can be integrated with MCP clients like Claude for Desktop to give AI assistants the ability to:
- Manage calendar events
- Track tasks and to-dos
- Read and send emails
- Search the web and retrieve information
- Control smart home devices
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Python 3.10 or higher is required for the MCP SDK. The server will not work with earlier Python versions.
- Python 3.10+
- MCP SDK 1.2.0+
- Required Python packages (see requirements.txt)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-pa-ai-agent.git
cd mcp-pa-ai-agent
- Ensure you have Python 3.10+:
python --version
- If your system Python is older than 3.10, set up a compatible environment:
# Using conda
conda create -n mcp-env python=3.10
conda activate mcp-env
# OR using venv (if Python 3.10+ is installed elsewhere)
python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Configure environment variables by copying the example file:
cp .env.example .env
- Edit the
.env
file with your API credentials and settings.
Start the MCP server with:
python mcp_server.py
The server will start and listen for MCP client connections.

Install Claude for Desktop
-
Configure Claude for Desktop to use this MCP server by editing the configuration file at:
- MacOS/Linux:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- MacOS/Linux:
-
Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"personal-assistant": {
"command": "/path/to/python",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/mcp-pa-ai-agent/mcp_server.py"
]
}
}
}
If you're using a virtual environment, make sure to point to the Python executable in that environment.
- Restart Claude for Desktop

The server requires various API keys and credentials to access different services:
- Google API: For calendar and email functionality (OAuth2 credentials)
- Weather API: For weather information
- News API: For news retrieval
- Home Assistant: For smart home control
Refer to the .env.example
file for all configurable options.
If you see an error like:
Error: Python 3.10 or higher is required for the MCP server.
You need to upgrade your Python version or use a virtual environment with Python 3.10+.
If you encounter problems installing the MCP SDK:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mcp>=1.2.0
Make sure you're using Python 3.10+ and pip is updated:
pip install --upgrade pip
To add new functionality to the server, you can:
- Create a new module in the
modules/
directory - Implement functions with the
@mcp.tool()
decorator - Import your module in
mcp_server.py
