Overview

What is MCP Server - Model Context Protocol?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is an open protocol developed by Anthropic that standardizes how AI models interact with external data sources and tools. It acts as a bridge between AI models and various services, databases, and APIs, providing tools, resources, and prompts via JSON‑RPC 2.0 over WebSocket or stdio.

How to use MCP Server - Model Context Protocol?

Install the SDK (pip install mcp for Python, npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for Node.js/TypeScript), then create a server implementing tool handlers. Configure a client by adding a mcpServers entry in a JSON file with the command and arguments. Test with a simple stdio command like echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | python mcp_server.py.
