MCP Server Example
This project is an example of a simple web server, mcp-server, designed to be run easily and without a complex setup process.
It uses uv, a fast Python package manager, to execute the server directly from its GitHub repository in a temporary environment.
Prerequisites
Before you can run the server, you need to have uv installed on your system.
Install uv
On macOS and Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
On Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex
Running the Server
You can run the server with a single command in your terminal. This command uses uvx to fetch the code from GitHub, set up a temporary environment, and run the mcp-server application.
uvx --from git+https://github.com/sakthigcp/mcpserverexample.git mcp-server
After running this, the server will start and be accessible on your local machine (typically at http://127.0.0.1:8000).
Task Runner Configuration
The JSON snippet below is an example of how you might configure a task runner (like just or a custom script) to create a convenient alias for the run command.
In this configuration, a task named addnumbers is defined to execute the server.
{
"addnumbers": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from",
"git+https://github.com/sakthigcp/mcpserverexample.git",
"mcp-server"
]
}
}
If you were using a tool that reads this configuration, you could simply run your-task-runner addnumbers to start the server.
