Overview

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

A working demo of the Model Context Protocol integrated with Google’s Gemini. It provides a server that uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) to expose MCP endpoints, alongside a FastAPI backend and a Streamlit GUI for interacting with the system.

How to use Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Clone the repository, set a GOOGLE_API_KEY in a .env file, install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then start the MCP server with python sse_server.py (defaults to http://localhost:8080/sse). Optionally launch the SSE client with python ssc_client.py http://localhost:8080/sse, start the FastAPI server with python fastapp.py, and finally run the Streamlit app with streamlit run app.py (opens on localhost:8501). Click “Connect to MCP server” in the browser.

FAQ from Model Context Protocol (MCP)

What transport does the MCP server use?

The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) and runs by default on http://localhost:8080/sse.

Do I need an API key to run this server?

Yes, you must add a valid Google API key to a .env file as GOOGLE_API_KEY.

How do I start the GUI?

First ensure the MCP server and FastAPI server are running, then launch the Streamlit app with streamlit run app.py and open localhost:8501 in your browser.
