Overview

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP) Rust SDK?

A Rust implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed for seamless communication between AI models and their runtime environments. It is currently a work in progress and not ready for production use.

How to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) Rust SDK?

Add mcp_sdk_rs = "0.1.0" to your Cargo.toml. Then use the provided client and server examples: create a transport (WebSocket or stdio), set up mpsc channels, start a session, and make requests or serve. Both examples use Tokio for async execution.

Key features of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Rust SDK

  • Full implementation of MCP protocol specification
  • Multiple transport layers (WebSocket, stdio)
  • Async/await support using Tokio
  • Type-safe message handling
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Zero-copy serialization/deserialization

Use cases of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Rust SDK

  • Network-based communication between AI models and remote runtime environments
  • Local process communication for command-line AI tools and development
  • Building custom MCP servers and clients in Rust
  • Integrating with WebSocket (WSS/WS) or stdio transports

Frequently asked questions

1

Is this SDK production‑ready?

No, the SDK is currently a work in progress and explicitly labeled as not ready for production use.

2

What transport layers does the SDK support?

It supports WebSocket (secure and standard) for network communication and stdio for local process communication.

3

What are the main runtime dependencies?

The SDK uses Tokio for async runtime and provides async/await support throughout.

4

How is error handling structured?

The SDK provides a comprehensive `Error` type that distinguishes protocol errors, transport errors, and other errors, enabling fine‑grained error handling.

5

What license does the SDK use?

The project is licensed under the MIT License. It was originally forked from [mcp-rust-sdk](https://github.com/Derek-X-Wang/mcp-rust-sdk).
