About Mcp Server Rust
Mcp Server Rust is a local MCP server that combines Rust functions with a JavaScript/TypeScript client setup. It is for users configuring the project in Claude Desktop and includes commands to build and test the Rust code.
Key features
- 01Rust functions compiled to WebAssembly
- 02JavaScript and TypeScript build steps
- 03Rust test and format checks
- 04Claude Desktop configuration
Use cases
- 01Building the Rust and WebAssembly output
- 02Connecting the local server in Claude Desktop
- 03Running Rust tests and formatting checks
MCP support
It connects Rust functions to an MCP client. The README shows how to configure the local server in Claude Desktop.
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 READMEA simple Rust function integrated with an MCP client.
Step 1: Relase the Rust & Javascript/TS code
Release
npm run build:wasm:release // release rust code
npm install // create javascript file and install all npm dependencies
Step 2: Claude Desktop Configuration
Create a configuration file at:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"[your local path]/mcpserver/build/index.js"
]
}
}
}
locations:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json(source: https://modelcontextprotocol.info/docs/quickstart/user/#2-add-the-filesystem-mcp-server)
Step 3: Claude Desktop
Start Claude Desktop

Misc
Test the rust code
npm run test:rust
or
cd src/lib/rust-functions-lib
cargo test && cargo fmt --all -- --check
Clean the output files and folders
npm run clean
Build the rust code - alternatives
npm
npm run build:wasm
Alternative approach using wasm tool
cd src/lib/rust-functions-lib
wasm-pack build --target bundler
Build only ts code (npm)
npm build
Copy build Rust code
manual copy to the correct location - included in npm run build:wasm:release
mkdir -p build/lib/rust-functions-lib/pkg && cp src/lib/rust-functions-lib/pkg/rust_funcations_lib.js build/lib/rust-functions-lib/pkg/rust_funcations_lib.js
Rust import failed
issue:

solution:
run npm run build:wasm:release to release the wasm-binding the factorial import depends on

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.
