Overview

What is MCP Server Example?

MCP Server Example is a minimal implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Python. It provides simple utility functions and is intended as a starting point for developers learning to build MCP servers.

How to use MCP Server Example?

Clone the repository and run python server.py to start the server. For debugging and interactive testing, use mcp dev server.py which launches the MCP Inspector. The project manages dependencies via pyproject.toml.

Key features of MCP Server Example

  • Provides a hello_world function that returns a simple greeting
  • Provides an echo function that echoes back input text
  • Runs as a standalone Python server
  • Supports development mode with the MCP Inspector
  • Uses the official MCP Python SDK (mcp[cli])

Use cases of MCP Server Example

  • Learning how to structure an MCP server project
  • Testing the MCP protocol with a minimal, functional server
  • Prototyping new MCP functions before integrating into larger systems
  • Demonstrating MCP server deployment and debugging workflows
