About MCP_server_fastapi
MCP_server_fastapi is a Python project for starting and locally testing an MCP server. It is aimed at developers; the README describes dependency installation, server launch, and MCP Inspector debugging, but does not specify the server’s tools.
Key features
- 01Install dependencies with uv
- 02Start the server with Python or uv
- 03Debug tools with MCP Inspector
- 04Requires Python 3.12+
Use cases
- 01Set up the project’s Python dependencies
- 02Run the server during development
- 03Test tools locally with MCP Inspector
MCP support
The project is an MCP server and documents using MCP Inspector to test its tools locally. The README does not specify which tools it exposes.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

🚀 Getting Started
Follow the steps below to install dependencies, run the server, and debug your tools locally.
📦 Install Dependencies
Use uv (a faster Python package manager) to install project dependencies:
uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
▶️ Start the Server
You can run the server using one of the following options:
Option 1: Using Python
python src/server.py
Option 2: Using uv
uv run start
🧪 Debug and Test
You can test your tool locally using MCP Inspector:
mcp dev ./src/weather.py

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
