Overview

What is toyMCP To-Do List Server?

toyMCP To-Do List Server is a simple example server that implements a To-Do list CRUD API using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) concepts, specifically JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP. It uses Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL (via Docker) for persistence, and includes an AI-powered agent framework for natural language interaction.

How to use toyMCP To-Do List Server?

Set up prerequisites: Node.js, npm, Docker, and Docker Compose. Clone the repository, run npm install, start PostgreSQL with docker compose up -d db, then start the server with npm start. The JSON-RPC endpoint is at http://localhost:3000/rpc. Authenticate by logging in at /auth/login with username and password to obtain a JWT token, then include it as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header in subsequent requests. Use curl to call methods like todo.list, todo.add, todo.remove, or mcp.discover. For natural language management, use the agent framework in the agent-framework/ directory.
