How to Install and Use Semilattice MCP

If you want to test content, personalize features, or run A/B tests, Semilattice MCP is the tool you need. This guide will help you install and use Semilattice MCP step-by-step, with clear examples and easy instructions.

Step 1: Prepare Your Environment

Before installing Semilattice MCP, you need to have some basics ready. Make sure you have Git installed on your computer. You can download it from git-scm.com. You also need Go language installed because Semilattice MCP is built in Go. Download Go from golang.org. After installing these, you are ready for the next step.

Step 2: Download Semilattice MCP

Next, grab the Semilattice MCP code from GitHub. Open your terminal or command prompt and run this command:

git clone https://github.com/semilattice-research/mcp.git

This command copies the MCP project to your computer. Then, change your directory to the new folder by running:

cd mcp

Now, you have all the project files to work with.

Step 3: Build Semilattice MCP

Now that you have the code, you need to build the program. This step turns the code into a useable application. In your terminal, type:

go build

After building, you will see an executable file named mcp. This is the program you will run to start using Semilattice MCP.

Step 4: Run the MCP Server

With the program ready, you can now start the MCP server. Just run this command in the terminal:

./mcp serve

This will launch the server on your local machine. The server listens for requests so you can test content or run A/B tests.

Step 5: Use Semilattice MCP in Your Project

To use MCP in your own application, you will interact with it via its API. Here is a quick example of how to send a test request to the MCP server using curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/feature -d '{"user": "123", "feature": "newUI"}'

This command asks the MCP server if user "123" should get the "newUI" feature. The server will reply with an answer you can use to personalize content for that user.

Step 6: Explore More Features

Semilattice MCP lets you do much more, like defining experiments and targeting users. You can find more details on setting up personalized features and A/B tests in the official documentation on GitHub.

By following these steps, you have installed Semilattice MCP and started using it to make your apps smarter and more personalized. It’s a powerful way to improve your content and features by testing and adapting them easily.
