Overview

This is a well-structured Python template for creating MCP servers. It provides a streamlined foundation with configurable transport modes (stdio, SSE) and includes an example weather service integration. The template features clean, well-documented code structure with minimal dependencies. A notable strength is its embedded MCP specifications and documentation, which can help AI assistants better understand MCP implementation without requiring external references.

FAQ

What transport modes does this template support?

The template supports stdio and SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport modes, allowing it to work with CLI tools and web applications respectively.

How do I create my own MCP tools?

Import the necessary components from 'mcp', initialize your MCP server with a namespace, and define your tools using the @mcp.tool() decorator as shown in the README.
