# MCP Server Basic Example This is a basic example of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that demonstrates core functionality including tools and resources. ## Setup Steps 1. Initialize the project (Go to any local folder and launch powershell or cmd): ```bash uv init mcp-server-basic cd mcp-server-basic ``` 2. # Create virtual environment and activate it ```bash uv venv .venv\Scripts\activate ``` 3. Install dependencies: ```bash uv add "mcp[cli]" ``` or ```bash uv add -r requirements.txt ``` ## Features The server implements the following features: ### Tools - `add(a: int, b: int)`: Adds two numbers - `subtract(a: int, b: int)`: Subtracts second number from first ### Resources - `greeting://{name}`: Returns a personalized greeting ## Running the Server To run the server with the MCP Inspector for development: ```bash uv run mcp dev main.py ``` To run the server normally: ```bash uv run mcp run ``` To install the server in Claude desktop app: ```bash uv run mcp install main.py ``` ## MCP connect in VS code - Open folder/mcp-server-basic in vs code - open terminal and run below command : ```bash uv run main.py ``` - Click Cntrl+Shift+I to launch chat in vs code - Do login with Github and setup - Folow the below steps (two way to add mcp configuration for vs code user settings): #hello from mcp
