mcp-server-openai is a small Python Model Context Protocol server whose purpose is to let one assistant query another: it exposes OpenAI models to Claude over MCP, so a question can be forwarded to an OpenAI model and its answer returned inside the Claude conversation. The repository is deliberately minimal and the README documents little beyond setup, testing and licence. Configuration happens entirely on the client side. An mcpServers entry in claude_desktop_config.json runs python with the -m flag against src.mcp_server_openai.server, and passes two environment variables: PYTHONPATH, set to the absolute path of the cloned repository so the module resolves, and OPENAI_API_KEY, holding the key the server authenticates to OpenAI with. The Windows-style path in the example suggests the author developed against Claude Desktop on Windows, though nothing in the setup is platform-specific. Development is the usual clone and editable install: git clone, then pip install -e in the project root. Testing runs pytest against test_openai.py from the project root with the -s flag so output is not captured, and the README shows the expected console output, a live call to the OpenAI API followed by a model reply, which means the test suite exercises the real API rather than a mock and therefore consumes credits. The project is MIT licensed and includes a preview image of the server in use. Because the README does not enumerate tool names, parameters or supported model identifiers, the exact surface has to be read from the source. It is aimed at people who want a second model available as a tool inside Claude, for cross-checking answers or for reaching capabilities one provider has and the other does not, and at anyone wanting a compact example of a Python MCP server.
