MCP Server Implementations
by AMasetti
This repository provides two implementations of MCP (Message Control Protocol) servers: a FastAPI with SSE web server and a standalone stdin/stdout implementation for Docker containers. These servers facilitate communication between language models and client applications, managing context, data streams, and event-based communications.

What is MCP Server Implementations?
This repository contains two server implementations based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP): a FastAPI server with Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time data streaming and a standalone server for direct stdin/stdout communication, ideal for Docker containers.
How to use MCP Server Implementations?
To use the SSE implementation, build and run it using Docker or uvicorn, then configure Claude Desktop to connect to the server's SSE endpoint. For the standalone implementation, build and run it using Docker, then configure Claude Desktop to use the Docker command to execute the server.

FAQ from MCP Server Implementations
What is MCP?
What is MCP?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard for communication between language models and client applications.
What are Server-Sent Events (SSE)?
What are Server-Sent Events (SSE)?
SSE is a server push technology enabling real-time data streaming over HTTP.
What is the purpose of the standalone MCP implementation?
What is the purpose of the standalone MCP implementation?
It provides a simple stdin/stdout interface, making it ideal for direct integration with applications like Claude Desktop or for use in Docker containers.
How do I configure Claude Desktop to use these servers?
How do I configure Claude Desktop to use these servers?
You need to add a configuration block to your Claude Desktop configuration file, specifying the server URL (for SSE) or the Docker command (for standalone).
What are the API endpoints for the SSE implementation?
What are the API endpoints for the SSE implementation?
The SSE implementation provides endpoints for the root (/), the SSE stream (/sse/), and sending messages (/messages/).
