Overview
What is MCP Ping-Pong Server by Remote Call?
An experimental, educational Ping-Pong server that demonstrates remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) calls via FastAPI. It provides API endpoints and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for invoking MCP tool commands like ping, pong, and count.
How to use MCP Ping-Pong Server by Remote Call?
After installing dependencies (poetry install), start the FastAPI server with python mcp-api-server.py (runs on http://localhost:8080). Use the web UI (mcp-api-client.html) or call GET /ping-pong?prompt_name=<name> / POST /ping-pong directly. Alternatively, run the SSE server (mcp-sse-server.py) and client (mcp-sse-client.py) for SSE-based communication.
Key features of MCP Ping-Pong Server by Remote Call
- FastAPI/FastMCP backend for remote MCP calls.
- Support for both API endpoints and SSE transport.
- Implements
ping,pong, andcountcommands. - Thread-safe session management.
- Includes a browser-based UI client.
Use cases of MCP Ping-Pong Server by Remote Call
- Learning how to integrate MCP with FastAPI.
- Testing remote MCP tool invocations via HTTP or SSE.
- Experimenting with command handling and session management.
- Demonstrating a minimal MCP server-client interaction.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start the server?
Run `python mcp-api-server.py` for the API mode, or `python mcp-sse-server.py` for SSE mode.
What commands does it support?
The MCP tool accepts three commands: `ping` (returns `pong`), `pong` (returns `ping`), and `count` (returns the number of interactions).
Does it require any external services or authentication?
No. The server runs locally and requires only Python and the dependencies installed via `poetry install`. No authentication or external data stores are mentioned.
What transports are available?
Two transports: direct HTTP API endpoints (`GET`/`POST`) and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming communication.
