Mcp Rust Sdk
What is Mcp Rust Sdk
mcp-rust-sdk is an unofficial SDK for MCP servers implemented in Rust, designed to facilitate communication using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Use cases
Use cases include testing MCP server functionalities, developing custom tools that interact with MCP, and learning about the Model Context Protocol through practical implementation.
How to use
To use mcp-rust-sdk, first build the server using ‘cargo build’. Then, configure an MCP client to launch the executable located at ‘target/debug/mcp-rust-sdk’, ensuring it uses newline-delimited JSON for stdio communication. Set the ‘RUST_LOG’ environment variable to control logging verbosity.
Key features
Key features include handling MCP initialization handshake, basic list commands such as ‘tools/list’, ‘resources/list’, ‘prompts/list’, and a dummy tool call ‘tools/call’.
Where to use
mcp-rust-sdk can be used in applications that require integration with MCP servers, particularly in development and debugging scenarios.

Rust MCP Stdio Server Test
This repository contains a simple example of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implemented in Rust using a newline-delimited JSON stdio transport.

Status
This is currently a basic test implementation created for learning and debugging purposes. It handles the MCP initialization handshake and basic list commands (tools/list, resources/list, prompts/list) as well as a dummy tool call (tools/call).
Usage
-
Build the server:
cargo build -
Configure an MCP client (like Claude Desktop) to launch the executable found at
target/debug/mcp-rust-sdk. Ensure the client uses newline-delimited JSON for stdio communication.For example, in
claude_desktop_config.json(or similar client configuration), you might add an entry like this, replacing thecommandpath with the absolute path to your built executable:(Remember to use the correct absolute path for your system)
-
Set the
RUST_LOGenvironment variable (e.g.,RUST_LOG=debugorRUST_LOG=trace) to control logging verbosity. Logs are written to$HOME/.screenpipe/logs/rust_stdio_test_logs/.
