MCP support
The project demonstrates sample MCP servers and uses MCP Inspector to test their tools in a browser.
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 READMEDebug MCP Server in VSCode
This repo showcases sample MCP server and debugging in VSCode.
The sample MCP server is the same as MCP Quick Start, in Python / TypeScript.
When debugging, it launches MCP Inspector that you can easily test those tools in browser.
To get started, clone this repo and navigate to your preferred language.

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.
