Example MCP server and client is a minimal project showing how to start an MCP server and a FastAPI server with MCP support. The README provides run commands but does not describe additional capabilities.
Key features
- 01Start the MCP server
- 02Run the server in debug mode
- 03Start FastAPI with MCP support
Use cases
- 01Run an MCP server example
- 02Launch the server in debug mode

MCP support
The project includes commands to run an MCP server and a FastAPI server with MCP support; the README does not specify exposed tools or client behavior.
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.

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.
