Keep your Client ID and Client Secret safe. You’ll need them later when you use them in either MCP or in Colab.

LLM API Key

To use an LLM, you’ll need an API key from a supported provider. Register or sign in with one of the providers below and generate an API key from your account settings.

What is an API key?

Think of it as a library card for the system: it identifies who you are and authorizes secure access. Just like borrowing books requires a library card, accessing services programmatically requires an API key.

System Services

If you choose to operate via Aralia MCP, please complete the following installation steps:

  1. Docker Desktop (to start/manage local container environments)
    1. MacOS
    2. Windows
  2. Claude Desktop (serves as the MCP Host; allows adding MCP Servers in settings)
    1. Download Page

Choose Your Operation Mode

The following guide is divided into two paths:

  1. Use MCP directly (zero/low-code)
  2. Develop with SDK (high customization)

When to choose MCP vs. SDK?

Aspect Choose MCP Choose SDK
Getting Started ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (just install Host/Server) ⭐⭐ (requires coding and deployment)
Governance / Auditability ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Host manages tools & permissions) ⭐⭐⭐ (requires custom audit implementation)
Customization ⭐⭐ (expand via tool modules) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (full control of flow & performance)
Ecosystem Integration ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (coexists with other MCP tools) ⭐⭐⭐ (based on libraries/SDKs)
