MCP SSE Server and STDIO Server Examples

Introduction

Welcome to The AI Language project! In this repository, you'll find multiple examples of setting up MCP Servers. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a framework for AI models that enables them to store data, run tools, and use prompts for specific tasks.

Available Server Examples

We provide four examples to help you set up your MCP server in different environments. The table below summarizes each configuration:

| Example | Server Type | Transport Method | Environment | Docker | Tutorial Link | |---------|-------------|------------------|-------------|--------|---------------| | 1 | Terminal Server (STDIO) | STDIO | Local | No | Tutorial 1 | | 2 | Terminal Server (STDIO) | STDIO | Local | Yes | Tutorial 2 | | 3 | Terminal Server (SSE) | SSE | Local | Yes | Tutorial 3 | | 4 | Terminal Server (SSE) | SSE | Google Cloud Platform (Web) | Yes | Tutorial 3 |

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol that allows AI models to:

  • Store data (like files or API responses)
  • Run tools (functions that AI can execute)
  • Use prompts (predefined templates for tasks)

Option 1: Setup Without Docker (Local Python)

This option demonstrates how to set up an MCP server locally using Python without Docker. Follow the video tutorial: Tutorial 1


Option 2: Setup With Docker

This option shows how to containerize the MCP server with Docker and run it locally. Follow the video tutorial: Tutorial 2


Option 3: Setup with SSE (Local, Docker)

This option demonstrates how to run an MCP server over SSE using Docker in a local environment. Follow the video tutorial: Tutorial 3


Option 4: Setup with SSE on Google Cloud Platform

This option details how to deploy the SSE server to Google Cloud Platform using Docker. Follow the video tutorial: Tutorial 3


Testing the MCP Server

Once the server is running, you can test it by using prompts in Claude, such as:

  • Run the command ls in my workspace.
  • Execute echo Hello from Claude.

You should see the output directly from your terminal server šŸŽ‰


Wrapping Up

Congrats! You've successfully built an MCP server that can execute terminal commands. You can run it locally or in Docker, depending on your preference.

Next Steps:

  • Add security checks to block potentially dangerous commands.
  • Allow Claude to read and write files.
  • Connect the server to cloud systems or remote environments.
