# Deep Research MCP
This repository provides a multi-agent research framework using Python and MCP (Message Control Protocol). The default entrypoint is `mcp_server.py`, which sets up a FastMCP server named **Deep Research** and exposes a tool named `deep_research`.
## Setup
1. **Clone the Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/deep-research-mcp.git
cd deep-research-mcp
```
2. **Create/Populate Your `.env` File:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Then edit the new .env file to fill in your secrets and environment variables
# For example:
# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-123-yourkey
# Additional environment variables can be placed here
```
3. **Install Dependencies:**
```bash
pip install -r multi_agents/requirements.txt
```
4. Edit your `claude_desktop_config.json` file to include the following:
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"deep-research-mcp": {
"command": "path/to/your/python/interpreter",
"args": [
"/path/to/this/project/deep-research-mcp/mcp_server.py"
]
}
}
}
```
5. **Run the MCP Server:**
```bash
python mcp_server.py
```
This starts the FastMCP tool server locally. From here, any MCP-compatible client or the CLI can invoke the `deep_research` tool.
## Project Overview
- **multi_agents**
- **agents**: Contains the various AI agents (ResearchAgent, EditorAgent, etc.).
- **memory**: Typed dictionaries to store research and draft states.
- **main.py**: Core logic to load tasks and orchestrate agents.
- **README.md**: Additional instructions on usage, file output settings, etc.
- **mcp_server.py**: Main FastMCP server file (entrypoint).
- **utils**: Shared functions and enums used across the codebase.
- **.gitignore**, **requirements.txt**, etc.: Standard setup files.
