What is MCP Joke Server?
This is a sample implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programming jokes. It uses FastAPI to create an HTTP server with token-based authentication for accessing the SSE endpoint.
How to use MCP Joke Server?
- Clone the repository and open it in VS Code with the devcontainer. 2. Run the server using
python server.py. 3. Access the SSE endpoint at http://localhost:8000/sse with the Bearer tokenvalid_tokenin the Authorization header. 4. Configure VS Code Copilot to use this server as a custom agent.
