SSE Server Sample FAQs

Question 1

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Accepted Answer

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a protocol used for communication between different services. This sample shows how to use SSE as a transport layer for MCP.

Question 2

Where does the code come from?

Accepted Answer

The server implementation is based on the official sample code found in the modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk repository. See the README for the link.

Question 3

How do I run the SSE Server Sample?

Accepted Answer

First, launch the server using the `uv` command: `uv run mcp_server_sample --port 8080 --transport sse`. Then, execute the client script: `python client.py`.

Question 4

What is SSE Server Sample?

Accepted Answer

SSE Server Sample is a basic example of a Server-Sent Events (SSE) server implementation for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It demonstrates how to use SSE for real-time communication.

Question 5

What does the sample server do?

Accepted Answer

The sample provides simple (though unhelpful) methods to showcase how an SSE server operates within MCP. It focuses on demonstrating the SSE implementation rather than practical functionality.
