About mcp-pyodide
mcp-pyodide is an MCP server built on Pyodide that lets LLMs execute Python code through the MCP interface. It is written in TypeScript, supports stdio and SSE transports, and is still under development.
Key features
- 01Executes Python code using Pyodide
- 02Supports stdio and SSE transport modes
- 03Implemented in TypeScript
- 04Available as a command-line tool
Use cases
- 01Letting an LLM run Python code and return results
- 02Connecting web-based clients over SSE mode
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes Python code execution to LLM clients over stdio or SSE.
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.
Details
From the project READMEmcp-pyodide
A Pyodide server implementation for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to execute Python code through the MCP interface.
Features
- Python code execution capability for LLMs using Pyodide
- MCP compliant server implementation
- Support for both stdio and SSE transport modes
- Robust implementation written in TypeScript
- Available as a command-line tool
Installation
npm install mcp-pyodide
Usage
As a Server
import { runServer } from "mcp-pyodide";
// Start the server
runServer().catch((error: unknown) => {
console.error("Error starting server:", error);
process.exit(1);
});
As a Command-line Tool
Start in stdio mode (default):
mcp-pyodide
Start in SSE mode:
mcp-pyodide --sse
SSE Mode
When running in SSE mode, the server provides the following endpoints:
- SSE Connection:
http://localhost:3020/sse - Message Handler:
http://localhost:3020/messages
Example client connection:
const eventSource = new EventSource("http://localhost:3020/sse");
eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
console.log("Received:", JSON.parse(event.data));
};

New to MCP?
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.
