What is MCP Server Learning?

This project is a learning exercise focused on understanding and implementing a server that adheres to the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It aims to explore different aspects of MCP server development, including transport methods and core primitives.

How to use MCP Server Learning?

This project primarily serves as a learning resource. You can explore the code to understand how to implement an MCP server using Node.js. The README provides insights into different transport methods (stdio and SSE) and how they work. You can also learn about core MCP primitives like Resources, Prompts, Tools, Sampling, and Roots.

Key features of MCP Server Learning

  • Exploration of STDIO and SSE transport methods

  • Implementation using Node.js

  • Understanding of MCP core primitives (Resources, Prompts, Prompts, Tools, Sampling, Roots)

  • Built-in error handling via the SDK

  • Usage of JSON-RPC 2.0 for message formatting

Use cases of MCP Server Learning

  • Learning about MCP server implementation

  • Understanding different transport methods for MCP

  • Exploring core MCP primitives

  • Developing a basic MCP server using Node.js

  • Implementing tools that interact with the client via MCP

FAQ from MCP Server Learning

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It defines a standard for communication between clients and servers that provide context to language models.

What are the transport methods used in MCP?

The two transport methods are STDIO (via standard input/output) and SSE (Server-Sent Events).

What are the core primitives in MCP?

The core primitives are Resources, Prompts, Tools, Sampling, and Roots.

What is the role of the server in MCP?

The server provides context to the client, such as data, prompts, and tools. It also handles the execution of tools and returns the results to the client.

How does error handling work in MCP?

The SDK provides built-in error handling. The server can throw an error in the tool callback function, and the client SDK will handle it and respond accordingly.
