Usage
Setting up your environment
- (Optional but recommended) Create an OpenDota API key at https://www.opendota.com/api-keys
- Set your API key as an environment variable:
export OPENDOTA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Running the server directly
python -m src.opendota_server.server
Running the server with Claude Desktop
Follow this: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user
If you use WSL, assuming you have cloned the repo and set up the python environment, this is how I wrote the claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"opendota": {
"command": "wsl.exe",
"args": [
"--",
"bash",
"-c",
"cd ~/opendota-mcp-server && source .venv/bin/activate && python src/opendota_server/server.py"
]
}
}
}
Using the example client
python -m src.client
