What is AutoMCP?
AutoMCP is a tool that generates server and client code for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) from YAML service definitions. It automates the creation of boilerplate code, allowing developers to focus on implementing the core logic of their services.
How to use AutoMCP?
To use AutoMCP, you define your service in a YAML file, specifying the service name, version, description, tools, parameters, and return types. Then, you run the generator script (./bin/automcp.sh generate) to create server code, client code, and handler stubs. Finally, you implement the tool functionality in the generated handler files.
