Remote Call Ping-Pong FAQs

Question 1

What is Remote Call Ping-Pong?

Accepted Answer

Remote Call Ping-Pong is an experimental tool showcasing remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) calls using a Ping-Pong server built with FastAPI. It demonstrates how to interact with MCP tools via API endpoints or Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Question 2

How can I run the MCP Tool through the API?

Accepted Answer

First, install dependencies using `poetry install`. Then, start the FastAPI server with `python mcp-api-server.py`. Interact with the server through the `mcp-api-client.html` UI or directly using the API endpoints.

Question 3

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

Accepted Answer

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a protocol likely designed for communication between different software components or services, particularly in the context of AI models or workflows.  Remote Call Ping-Pong demonstrates using it via common web protocols like API and SSE.

Question 4

What are the key features of Remote Call Ping-Pong?

Accepted Answer

Key features include a FastAPI/FastMCP backend, MCP integration for command handling (ping, pong, count), thread-safe session management, an example API client, and SSE-based communication examples.

Question 5

How can I use SSE to communicate with the MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Run the SSE server using `python mcp-sse-server.py` and the SSE client with `python mcp-sse-client.py`. Follow the prompts in the client to send commands and receive results.
