We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is Simple MCP Server?

A lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server implementation that exposes custom tools (e.g., weather lookups) over Server-Sent Events (SSE) for integration with AI clients.

How to use Simple MCP Server?

Build the Docker image using docker compose build, then start the container with docker compose up -d. Connect any MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to http://localhost:8100/sse. Customize port and host via MCP_PORT and MCP_HOST environment variables. To develop custom tools, edit src/server.py and rebuild.

Key features of Simple MCP Server

  • Exposes tools as MCP endpoints over SSE
  • Containerized for easy deployment with Docker Compose
  • Configurable port and host via environment variables
  • Includes example tools (weather alerts & forecast)

Use cases of Simple MCP Server

  • Integrate custom tools into AI assistants via the MCP protocol
  • Quickly deploy a lightweight MCP server using Docker
  • Develop and test new MCP tools locally

Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed to run Simple MCP Server?

Docker version 20.10 or later and Docker Compose version 1.29 or later are required.

2

How do I connect an MCP client to the server?

Configure your MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to connect via SSE at `http://localhost:8100/sse`.

3

How can I change the port or host the server binds to?

Set the environment variables `MCP_PORT` (default 8100) and `MCP_HOST` (default 0.0.0.0) in the Docker Compose file or in the container.

4

What endpoints does the server expose?

GET `/sse` opens an SSE stream for MCP communication; POST `/sse` sends JSON-RPC requests over SSE.

5

How do I troubleshoot connection issues?

Check that the container is running (`docker ps`), verify logs with `docker compose logs -f`, and ensure the client uses the correct SSE URL. If you get a 404, make sure the server is bound to the correct port and path.
