MCP SSE Server and STDIO Server Examples

What is MCP SSE Server and STDIO Server Examples?

This repository provides four examples of setting up MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers using STDIO and SSE transport methods. It is designed for developers who want to learn how to configure MCP servers locally, with Docker, or on Google Cloud Platform. MCP allows AI models to store data, run tools, and use prompts for specific tasks.

How to use MCP SSE Server and STDIO Server Examples?

Choose one of four setup options: local Python without Docker, local Docker, local Docker over SSE, or SSE on Google Cloud Platform. Each option links to a video tutorial. After starting the server, test it by sending prompts (e.g., Run the command ls in my workspace) to Claude.
