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.

Key features of MCP Client-Server Sandbox

  • Local LLM inference (initially LLaMA 7B)

  • Chatbox UI for interaction

  • MCP Client implementation

  • Demo MCP Servers

  • Support for cloud inference (future)

  • Reference architecture for MCP development

Use cases of MCP Client-Server Sandbox

  • Validating MCP server implementations

  • Evaluating LLM behavior with different context augmentation strategies

  • Developing and testing MCP-compliant applications

  • Prototyping new MCP server features

  • Understanding the MCP specification through practical examples

FAQ from MCP Client-Server Sandbox

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a specification for augmenting LLMs with external context.

What LLMs are supported?

Initially, LLaMA 7B is supported for local inference. Future versions will support cloud inference with other models.

How do I add my own MCP server?

Details on how to integrate custom MCP servers will be provided as the project develops.

Is this project production-ready?

No, this project is under development and intended for validation and development purposes.

Where can I find the MCP specification?

The MCP specification is evolving alongside this project. Check back for updates.
