Mcp Cpp
What is Mcp Cpp
mcp-cpp is a C++ SDK designed for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a framework for developing MCP servers and clients using modern C++17 best practices.
Use cases
Use cases for mcp-cpp include developing communication frameworks for applications that require real-time data exchange, creating tools that leverage MCP capabilities, and building client-server architectures in C++.
How to use
To use mcp-cpp, clone the repository and build the library using CMake. After building, you can run the included examples, such as the echo server and client, to understand the basic functionality.
Key features
Key features include JSON-RPC 2.0 based messaging, support for multiple transport mechanisms (STDIO, HTTP/SSE planned), thread-safe design, memory-safe implementation using RAII and smart pointers, and comprehensive error handling.

mcp-cpp
A C++ SDK for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The SDK provides a framework for creating MCP servers and clients in C++ following modern C++17 best practices.
Features
- JSON-RPC 2.0 based messaging
- Multiple transport mechanisms (STDIO, HTTP/SSE planned)
- Support for MCP capabilities: Tools, Resources, and Prompts
- Thread-safe design
- Memory-safe implementation using RAII and smart pointers
- Comprehensive error handling
Building the Library
The library uses CMake for building:
# Configure the build
cmake -B build
# Build the library
cmake --build build
# Run tests
cd build && ctest
Examples
Echo Server/Client
The repository includes a simple echo server and client example that demonstrates the basic usage of the library.
To run the echo server:
./build/examples/simple_server/echo_server
To run the echo client in a different terminal:
./build/examples/simple_client/echo_client
The client sends a test request and notification on startup and then allows you to enter messages that will be echoed back by the server.
Development Status
The project is currently in development with the following components implemented:
- Core types and JSON serialization
- Error handling utilities
- Transport interface
- STDIO transport implementation
- Logging utilities
Upcoming features:
- Session management
- HTTP/SSE transport
- Server implementation
- Client implementation
