FAQ from MCP example Netlify Express

What does this example demonstrate?

It shows a very basic example of developing and running a serverless MCP server using Netlify Functions.

How do I deploy my own version?

Click the "Deploy to Netlify" button. This clones the example to your GitHub, creates a Netlify project, and sets up an automated deployment pipeline.

How do I run it locally?

Clone the examples repo, install the Netlify CLI, run netlify dev in the examples/mcp/express-mcp directory, and then use the MCP inspector or another client.

Why is the netlify.toml redirect needed?

It ensures that requests to the /mcp path are routed correctly to the Express server function, because of how Express handles route mapping.

What tools are required for local development?

You need Git, Node.js, the Netlify CLI (npm i -g netlify-cli), and optionally the MCP inspector (npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector).
