Frequently asked questions

What is this template for?

It is a starting point for creating MCP servers using Python and stdio transport, with built‑in VS Code support.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses standard input/output (stdio) for communication with the MCP client.

How do I add custom tools?

Modify the Python code and add tools using the `@tool` decorator in `src/server.py`.

How do I set up the development environment?

Create a Python virtual environment with `python -m venv venv`, activate it, and install dependencies with `pip install -r requirements.txt`.

How do I test my MCP server?

Test your server locally using VS Code’s built‑in MCP testing capabilities, and debug with breakpoints and the VS Code Python debugger.
