Hummingbird Mcp
What is Hummingbird Mcp
Hummingbird-MCP is a minimal example of an MCP server built using the Hummingbird framework and related libraries. It serves as a basic implementation to demonstrate the functionality of an MCP server.
Use cases
Use cases for Hummingbird-MCP include real-time notifications, live data updates in web applications, and any scenario where efficient server-client communication is needed using SSE.
How to use
To use Hummingbird-MCP, run the command ‘swift run HummingbirdMCP’ to start the server. Additionally, you can run the MCP Inspector with ‘npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector’ and set the transport type to SSE to connect to the server at http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp/sse.
Key features
Key features of Hummingbird-MCP include a simple setup for an MCP server, support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport, and the ability to configure server capabilities through the MCPServer.start() function.
Where to use
Hummingbird-MCP can be used in applications that require real-time data streaming and communication, particularly in web applications and services that utilize the Model Context Protocol.

Current code is purely for working out streaming server support.
Running…
Run like you would any hummingbird app
swift run HummingbirdMCP
run the standard MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
Set transport type to SSE and connect to:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp/streamer
