FAQ from pymcp-sse
What is MCP?
What is MCP?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's a protocol for communication between applications, particularly useful in contexts where models or agents need to interact.
What is SSE?
What is SSE?
SSE stands for Server-Sent Events. It's a simple protocol for a server to push data updates to a client over HTTP.
How do I install pymcp-sse?
How do I install pymcp-sse?
You can install it locally for development using pip install -e . in the directory containing pyproject.toml. Once published, it will be available via pip install pymcp-sse.
How do I register a tool on a server?
How do I register a tool on a server?
You can register a tool using the @server.register_tool() decorator. This allows clients to dynamically query the server for available tools and their parameters.
How do I handle server push notifications?
How do I handle server push notifications?
pymcp-sse includes built-in support for server-initiated push notifications. You can use the NotificationScheduler helper class to schedule notifications and define a handler on the client side to process them.
