Demo MCP Server tools

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

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

Overview

What is Demo MCP?

Demo MCP is a demonstration server built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Python SDK. It provides example server implementations and a demo client to showcase MCP interactions over SSE transport, intended for developers learning or testing MCP.

How to use Demo MCP?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then run either python server.py for a plain server or python server_asgi.py for a server with JWT authentication. Use python client.py http://localhost:8000/sse to run the demo client, or python host_langchain.py <model> <ollama-url> to run a LangChain/LangGraph host.

Key features of Demo MCP

  • Drop-in setup with Python virtual environment and requirements
  • Two server modes: plain and JWT‑authenticated
  • Integrated demo client over SSE transport
  • LangChain/LangGraph host integration with Ollama models
  • Debug using the official MCP Inspector tool

Use cases of Demo MCP

  • Learning how to set up and run an MCP server
  • Testing client–server communication over SSE
  • Experimenting with JWT authentication in MCP
  • Prototyping MCP integrations with LangChain and local LLMs

Frequently asked questions

1

What does this server do beyond being a demo?

The README does not describe specific tools or resources; it only provides runnable example code from the MCP Python SDK.

2

What dependencies are required?

Python 3, a virtual environment, and the packages listed in `requirements.txt`. For the LangChain host, Ollama must be installed and a model downloaded.

3

How do I debug the server?

Run `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`, point a browser to `http://127.0.0.1:6274`, set Transport Type to SSE and URL to `http://localhost:8000/sse`, then click Connect.

4

What transport and authentication are supported?

Transport is SSE (Server‑Sent Events). The `server_asgi.py` script adds JWT authentication; the plain `server.py` does not.

5

Is this intended for production use?

No – the README explicitly frames it as a demo, referencing example code and an Inspector debug tool.
