An MCP Server that allows users to deploy python scripts to modal.

Installation

Make sure that modal is setup:

pip install modal
python3 -m modal setup

Then setup the server with the filesystem server in your Claude desktop app:

{
   "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-modal": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/path/to/mcp-server-modal",
                "run",
                "modal-server"
            ]
        },
        "filesystem": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
                "/Users/user/Desktop/",
                "/path/to/other/dir"
            ]
        }
   }
}

Usage

In claude, give a python script and ask it to create a modal application and deploy it for you. After code generation, you will get a link to the modal application which you can try out and share with others.

Development

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/mcp-server-modal run modal-server
