About sample-serverless-mcp-server
sample-serverless-mcp-server is a sample GitHub MCP server built on Amazon Lambda and the Streamable HTTP protocol. It is intended for developers who want to deploy an MCP server in a serverless environment.
Key features
- 01Streamable HTTP MCP protocol support
- 02Elastic deployment on Amazon Lambda
- 03Requests handled through API Gateway
Use cases
- 01Deploying a GitHub MCP server to Amazon Lambda
- 02Studying how to adapt the TypeScript MCP server to Streamable HTTP
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that adapts the official TypeScript MCP server to Streamable HTTP, serving MCP clients through API Gateway and Lambda.
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 the project READMEsample-serverless-mcp-server
A Github MCP Server implementation based on Amazon Lambda and Streamable HTTP protocol.
Project Description
This project demonstrates how to transform the official TypeScript MCP Server to support Streamable HTTP protocol and deploy it via Amazon Lambda. The implementation leverages new features introduced in MCP v2025.03.26, including:
-
Stream transmission based on HTTP Chunked Transfer Encoding
-
Dynamic context priority control
-
Seamless integration with existing HTTP infrastructure
Key Features
-
Streamable HTTP MCP protocol support
-
Elastic deployment based on Amazon Lambda
-
Optimized cost-performance balance
MCP Server on Amazon Lambda Architecture

Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- AWS CLI configured
- OSS-Serverless CLI
Serverless Streamable HTTP MCP Server
- Github MCP Server
How to deploy Github MCP Server on Amazon Lambda :
This project needs to set up a GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, which has been stored in Amazon Lambda environment variables.
Never submit your serverless.yml to a GitHub public repository.
# Clone repository
git clone https://gitlab.aws.dev/wsuam/sample-serverless-mcp-server.git
cd sample-serverless-mcp-server/src/github/
# Install dependencies
npm install
npm install -g osls
#Set your github personal access token in serverless.yml
cp serverless.example.yml serverless.yml
#edit serverless.yml , GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN: <Your GitHub Personal Access Token>
# Test local
npm sls offline
# Deploy to AWS Lambda
npm sls deploy
Architecture Overview
The project utilizes the following architecture:
-
API Gateway: Handles HTTP requests
-
Lambda: Executes MCP Server logic
-
Streamable HTTP: Implements streaming responses
-
DynamoDB and S3 store request logs (this part is not ready yet).
Development Guide
- Configure AWS credentials
- Run
npm sls offline - Follow the prompts to complete deployment configuration

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.
