About My First Mcp
My First Mcp is an MCP server project with setup examples for running it through Node or Docker. Its README documents stdio operation and a Docker-based stdio-to-SSE gateway.
Key features
- 01Run through Node
- 02Run through Docker
- 03stdio runner
- 04Docker stdio-to-SSE gateway
Use cases
- 01Launch the server with a Node configuration
- 02Run the server as a Docker container
- 03Expose stdio through an SSE gateway
MCP support
The README shows MCP client configuration for launching the server with Node or Docker. It documents stdio operation and a Docker gateway that converts stdio to 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.

Runner
stdio
docker build -t my-first-mcp-stdio .
# docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t aoaiaiplayground.azurecr.io/mcp/my-first-mcp-stdio .
# docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t aoaiaiplayground.azurecr.io/mcp/my-first-mcp-stdio --push .
docker run -i --rm my-first-mcp-stdio
stdio -> sse
docker build -t my-first-mcp-gateway -f Dockerfile.sse .
docker run --rm -p 8181:8000 my-first-mcp-gateway

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.
