About MCP Server Demo

What is MCP Server Demo: Future-Proof Reliability & Seamless Performance?

The MCP Server Demo is an educational implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, designed to demystify core protocol mechanics. Built with Ruby, it serves as a hands-on playground for understanding how MCP handles JSON-RPC communication and tool integration. Unlike production systems, this demo prioritizes clarity over optimization, making it ideal for developers exploring protocol design principles.

How to Use MCP Server Demo: Future-Proof Reliability & Seamless Performance?

Begin by cloning the repository and configuring your environment:

  1. Install dependencies: Ruby runtime and Node.js/npm
  2. Configure Claude with the provided JSON snippet (replace path literals with absolute paths)
  3. Test via two validated methods:
    • Use mcp-inspector tool for interactive debugging
    • Execute raw JSON-RPC commands through STDIO using examples like tools/call for parameterized tool testing

MCP Server Demo Features

Key Features of MCP Server Demo: Future-Proof Reliability & Seamless Performance?

  • Protocol fidelity: Adheres strictly to MCP's JSON-RPC 2.0 spec
  • Modular architecture: Separates protocol logic (mcp_server.rb) from application code
  • Development readiness: Includes starter tool implementations like calculate_sum for rapid prototyping
  • Diagnostic support: Built-in compatibility with mcp-inspector for real-time protocol validation

Use Cases of MCP Server Demo: Future-Proof Reliability & Seamless Performance?

Primary applications include:

  • Protocol learning: Study how server-client handshakes and tool discovery work in practice
  • API prototyping: Test new tool interfaces before integrating into production systems
  • Error pattern analysis: Observe protocol compliance checks through failed initialization attempts
  • Tool chain testing: Validate parameter handling with edge cases like null values or type mismatches

MCP Server Demo FAQ

FAQ from MCP Server Demo: Future-Proof Reliability & Seamless Performance?

What if my JSON-RPC calls fail?
Check the official spec for version compatibility and validate JSON syntax with tools like jq
Can this run in production?
No - this is a learning implementation. Production systems require additional security layers and concurrency handling
Why use Ruby?
Chosen for its readability and built-in JSON handling, making protocol mechanics more transparent for learners
How do I add new tools?
Extend the tools/call handler in demo.rb following the MCP tool specification

Integration with Claude | 與 Claude 整合

與 Claude 整合的步驟:

  1. 複製或下載此專案到本地端。
  2. 修改 Claude 的設定檔,加入以下 JSON 結構:

To integrate this MCP server with Claude:

  1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
  2. Configure your Claude settings by modifying the configuration file with the following JSON structure:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_server_demo": {
      "command": "ruby",
      "args": [
        "<path_to_repository>/demo.rb"
      ]
    }
  }
}

注意:請將 <path_to_repository> 替換為您本地端專案的絕對路徑。

Note: Replace <path_to_repository> with the absolute path to your local copy of this repository.

  1. 重新啟動 Claude 以套用新設定。

  2. Restart Claude to apply the configuration changes.
