What problem does it solve?

MCP Protocol Fundamentals provides a clear blueprint for implementing and reasoning about the MCP protocol, enabling bidirectional JSON-RPC communication between Claude and servers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tools (Model-Controlled) exposed by the server, with strict input/output schemas (Pydantic V2) and potential side effects.
  • Resources (App-Controlled) that provide context to Claude via URI-based identifiers (file://, db://, api://) and read operations.
  • Prompts (Optional) for standardizing workflows and templates.
  • Distinct server-to-client and client-to-server interactions: tools/list, tools/call, resources/list, resources/read, prompts/list, prompts/get.
  • Transport options: stdio and HTTP/SSE for communication.

Quick Start

Use MCP protocol fundamentals to implement a minimal server that exposes tools/list and tools/call for a test JSON-RPC exchange.
