FAQ from Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
What is the Model Context Protocol?
A communication protocol designed for AI model interactions, including message format handling, context management, and basic protocol operations.
What are the runtime requirements?
Python 3 with a virtual environment, plus FastAPI, Pydantic, and WebSocket support as listed in requirements.txt.
How does this server differ from the TypeScript version?
It uses FastAPI instead of Express, implements async/await for performance, uses Pydantic for validation, and follows more Pythonic patterns.
