Thanks for your attention for MCP-Zero! 🤗
We have now open-sourced the code involved in the paper. We will continue to update our work, explore its application in the industry, and continue to expand this project.
Using MCP-Zero to proactively construct toolchains for "Making a great meal"

We have now released our code for the paper. The code in the paper implements retrieval capabilities and achieves concrete results in experiments.
In our future work, we are committed to applying MCP-zero to the industry, so other modules still need to be involved, such as the dynamic deployment of MCP servers, the environment deployment for GAIA test, etc. We will continue to improve our work, and thank you all for your attention to this work. Leave a star🌟 to let me know you are staying updated :D

Introduction: A dataset containing all filtered tools (308 servers and 2,797 tools in total) from the MCP official repo.
Data structure:
{
"server_name": string, // The name of the MCP server, extracted or inferred from the README
"server_summary": string, // A summary of the server's purpose and capabilities, based on all relevant parts of the README.
"server_description": string, // Description from metadata.
"description_embedding": float[3072], // The embedding of the server description from text-embedding-3-large
"summary_embedding": float[3072], // The embedding of the server summary from text-embedding-3-large
"tools": [
{
"name": string, // The function/tool name
"description": string, // A concise description of what the tool does
"description_embedding": float[3072], // The embedding of the tool description from text-embedding-3-large
"parameter": { // A dictionary of input parameters, being included if explicitly defined
"param1": "(type) description1",
"param2": "(Optional, type) description2"
}
}
]
}
Build dataset on your own: If you want to build custom dataset for MCP servers, you may follow the code under the MCP-tools/build_data folder.
