Overview

What is MCP example & Demo?

MCP example & Demo is a simple MCP server that demonstrates the Model Context Protocol. It implements a basic "add" tool and shows how to communicate with an MCP server over STDIN using JSON‑RPC messages.

How to use MCP example & Demo?

Run the server with mcp run server.py and send JSON‑RPC messages over STDIN. Alternatively, use mcp dev server.py to launch the MCP inspector for interactive testing.

Key features of MCP example & Demo

  • Provides a single "add" tool that sums two numbers
  • Demonstrates the full MCP initialization handshake
  • Supports tools/list and tools/call JSON‑RPC methods
  • Includes an example of an error response from a tool call
  • Uses STDIN transport by default
  • Works with the MCP inspector in dev mode
