Details
From the project READMEtest
An MCP server built with Smithery.
Prerequisites
- Smithery API key: Get yours at smithery.ai/account/api-keys
Getting Started
-
Run the server:
uv run dev -
Test interactively:
uv run playground
Try saying "Say hello to John" to test the example tool.
Run with Docker
Build the image (from the project root):
docker build -t hello-server .
Run the container:
docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 --shm-size=1g hello-server
Notes:
- The server listens on
0.0.0.0:8081and serves the MCP endpoint at/mcp. --shm-size=1gimproves browser stability for Playwright/Firefox-based scraping.
You can now connect an MCP client to:
http://localhost:8081/mcp
Development
Your server code is in src/hello_server/server.py. Add or update your server capabilities there.

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.
