MCP server in UralicNLP (UralicMCP)

UralicNLP makes it possible to use transducers and dictionaries with an LLM through the MCP protocol. Generation, analysis, lemmatization, segmentation and dictionary lookup are supported.

To start the MCP server, run:

python -m uralicNLP.uralicMCP

This will start the server and show the port it's listening. The server runs in streamable HTTP mode in http://localhost:8000/mcp.
