A basic example site demonstrating how to develop and run serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using Netlify Functions. It includes a deployed serverless function and a customized URL for accessing the function.
Deploy your own version by clicking the "Deploy to Netlify" button, which clones the example, creates a Netlify project, and sets up an automated deployment pipeline. To run locally, clone the examples repo, install the Netlify CLI, run netlify dev, and then use the MCP inspector with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx mcp-remote@next http://localhost:8888/mcp.
netlify devIt shows a basic approach to developing and running serverless MCP using Netlify Functions.
Click the "Deploy to Netlify" button in the README. It will clone the repo, create a Netlify project, and set up automated deployments.
You need Git, Node.js, and the Netlify CLI installed globally (`npm i -g netlify-cli`). Then run `netlify dev` and the MCP inspector.
The demo site is hosted at https://mcp-example-serverless.netlify.app/.
