What is MCP Server?
This is a collection of example MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and client implementations. It provides a basic server setup using STDIO and SSE, along with instructions for using the MCP Inspector for debugging and development.
How to use MCP Server?
To use the MCP server, first install uv and clone the repository. Then, set up the server environment using uv and create the server implementation file (e.g., weather_stdio.py). Start the server using 'uv run weather_stdio.py'. You can test the server using VSCode with Cline or by running the provided client examples. For SSE, use 'uv run weather_sse.py' for the server and 'uv run client_sse.py' for the client.
