Base MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  A ready-made, containerized MCP server base to deploy LLM integrations using HTTP+SSE without having to set up the runtime and SDK dependencies from scratch.

• 2

  Local development with stdio transport or reproducible virtual environments and helper scripts to test MCP behavior before containerizing.

• 3

  Manage multiple MCP servers locally and in VS Code via the provided mcp-manager utility and standard configuration patterns.

Description

BaseMcpServer provides a reusable Docker base image and local development tooling for implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Python. It includes a Python 3.11 environment, common MCP SDK dependencies, multi-stage Docker build, non-root runtime, and support for HTTP+SSE (Starlette + Uvicorn) and stdio transports. The project also supplies setup/run scripts, environment/config best practices, and an mcp-manager utility to install and manage servers locally. It’s intended to speed development and standardize deployments for derived MCP server projects.
