Python MCP Server Template

Python 3.13+ License: MIT

A minimal template for creating a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using the Python SDK.

:wrench: Setup

Tip

If you want to create your own server, create a new repository using this template.

:package: Prerequisites
  • uv for package management
  • Python 3.13+ (uv python install 3.13)
:gear: Setup Python environment

Install all dependencies and activate the virtual environment

uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

:rocket: How to use

The server can be run in multiple ways:

:robot: Visual Studio Code

The configuration to run this server in VSCode is already included in .vscode/mcp.json.

All you need to do is Open VS Code Copilot Edits (Agent Mode)

Note

At the time of writing this, MCP is only available in Visual Studio Code Insiders version

:microscope: Development Mode

The fastest way to test and debug your server is with the MCP Inspector:

mcp dev server/main.py

or you can run your server directly

python server/main.py

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.
