Overview
What is MCP Kotlin Server Sample?
MCP Kotlin Server Sample is a sample implementation of an MCP (Model Communication Protocol) server in Kotlin. It demonstrates different server configurations and transport methods for both JVM and WASM targets. It is intended for developers learning or prototyping MCP server implementations in Kotlin.
How to use MCP Kotlin Server Sample?
Run the server on JVM with ./gradlew runJvm (defaults to SSE mode with Ktor plugin on port 3001). Run on WASM (Node.js) with ./gradlew wasmJsNodeDevelopmentRun. Connect using the MCP inspector to http://localhost:<port>/sse.
