mcp_server_research

The Message Coordination Protocol (MCP) provides a standardized way for distributed systems to communicate and coordinate actions. This repository includes a reference implementation and demonstrations of the protocol in action. The project is structured to include documentation, source code, and demo implementations. It requires Python 3.8+, Flask, and Requests to run. The demo features a simple MCP server that registers and tracks connected clients, processes various message types, routes messages, provides a web dashboard, and maintains an in-memory message history. The project is open for contributions and is licensed under MIT.

Features

• Registers and tracks connected clients
• Processes various message types (heartbeat, data, command)
• Routes messages to appropriate destinations
• Provides a web dashboard for monitoring system activity
• Maintains an in-memory message history
