MCP Server Example

Example Use Cases

• 1

  A simple example MCP backend to call local tools (e.g., arithmetic or small API fetches) during development and testing.

• 2

  Demonstrate or test stdio-based MCP integration in environments where Node.js can be launched as a subprocess.

• 3

  A lightweight fetch-data tool to retrieve paginated article lists from a test API for prototyping data-retrieval workflows.

Description

This repository provides a minimal MCP server implementation written in Node.js to demonstrate how AI agents can call backend tools using the MCP protocol. It includes two sample tools: "add" (adds two numbers) and "fetch-data" (fetches a configurable number of items from an API). The README explains how to install dependencies, run the server, and configure an AI client to launch the server via stdio with an absolute path. This is intended as a local/dev example to help developers learn MCP integration and test agent-tool interactions.
