What is Rocket Countdown MCP Server?
This is an MCP server that provides a rocket countdown timer tool. It uses the Model Context Protocol to communicate with clients, allowing them to initiate and progress a countdown sequence.
How to use Rocket Countdown MCP Server?
To use this server, you need an MCP client (like Claude Desktop or the MCP Inspector). Configure the client to connect to the server using stdio. Then, call the continueCountdown tool repeatedly, providing the next_number_to_count from the previous response as the current_number in the next call, starting with 10. Approve each tool call in the client. The server will output the countdown numbers and 'BLAST OFF!' to stderr.
