mcp-add-server

MCP Add Server

A minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a simple add(a, b) tool. This project serves as a basic example of an MCP server implementation.

Features

• Implements a Model Context Protocol compliant server.
• Provides a single tool: add(a, b) which returns the sum of two numbers.

实际运行效果 (Showcase)

下图展示了 mcp-add-server 在 mcp.so 服务发现平台上的配置信息，以及一个兼容 MCP 的聊天机器人 (例如 Cherry Studio) 成功调用本服务器的 add 工具来执行加法运算的场景：

• 左侧: mcp-add-server 在 mcp.so 上的信息，展示了其概述和启动配置。
• 右侧: 一个 MCP 客户端 (例如 Cherry Studio 这样的聊天机器人) 接收到用户关于加法的请求后，调用了 @zhefang/mcp-add-server 提供的 add 工具，并正确返回了计算结果。

这清晰地演示了遵循 Model Context Protocol 的服务器和客户端之间如何无缝集成和协作。

Prerequisites

• Node.js (version 18.x.x or higher recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <你的仓库URL> # 当你推送到 GitHub 后，替换这里的 URL
   cd mcp-add-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

Usage

There are several ways to run the mcp-add-server:

1. Using npx (Recommended for most users):

If you have Node.js and npm installed, you can run the server directly without cloning or installing globally:

npx mcp-add-server

This command will download the latest version of mcp-add-server (if not already cached) and execute it.

2. Running from a cloned repository:

After cloning the repository and installing dependencies (see Installation):

npm start

This uses the start script defined in package.json.

3. Global installation (for frequent use or development):

You can install the package globally:

npm install -g .  # From the cloned repository directory
# or once published to npm:
# npm install -g mcp-add-server

Then you can run it from any directory:

mcp-add-server

4. Local linking for development: In the project's root directory, run npm link. This will make the mcp-add-server command available globally, pointing to your local project files.

# In project directory
npm link

# Then, in any directory:
mcp-add-server

Once the server is running (regardless of the method used), it will be available to MCP clients.

Example Tool Call (Conceptual)

An MCP client could call the add tool like this (specifics depend on the client implementation):

{
  "tool_name": "add",
  "arguments": {
    "a": 5,
    "b": 3
  }
}

The server would respond with:

{
  "result": 8
}

Running Tests

(When tests are added, describe how to run them here)

npm test

(Currently, npm test will output "Error: no test specified". Update the test script in package.json when tests are added.)
