MCP Client-Server Sandbox
by tmcarmichael
mcp-scaffold is a minimal sandbox for validating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers against a working LLM client and live chat interface. It aims to minimize friction when plugging in new MCP Servers and evaluating LLM behavior.

What is MCP Client-Server Sandbox?
mcp-scaffold is a development environment and reference architecture for validating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It provides a sandbox with an LLM client and chat interface to test and evaluate LLM behavior with different MCP server implementations.
How to use MCP Client-Server Sandbox?
The project will allow users to plug in new MCP Servers and evaluate LLM behavior through a chatbox UI. Initially, a local LLM (LLaMA 7B) is used for testing, with future support for cloud inference. The project will include demo MCP servers and a client implementation.
