[中文](https://github.com/linancn/tiangong-lca-mcp/blob/main/README_CN.md) | [English](https://github.com/linancn/tiangong-lca-mcp/blob/main/README.md)

TianGong LCA Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server supports STDIO and Streamable Http protocols.

## Environment

GLAD dataset search tools require a GLAD API key in the server environment:

```bash
GLAD_API_KEY=your-glad-api-key
GLAD_API_BASE_URL=https://www.globallcadataaccess.org/api/v1
```

## Starting MCP Server

### Client STDIO Server

```bash
npm install -g @tiangong-lca/mcp-server

npx dotenv -e .env -- \
npx -p @tiangong-lca/mcp-server tiangong-lca-mcp-stdio
```

```bash
# Build MCP server image using Dockerfile (optional)
docker build -t linancn/tiangong-lca-mcp-server:0.0.5 .

# Pull MCP server image
docker pull linancn/tiangong-lca-mcp-server:0.0.5

# Start MCP server using Docker
