Hands-On Implementation

import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
from typing import Any
@dataclass
class MCPTool:
    name: str
    description: str
    input_schema: dict
@dataclass 
class MCPResponse:
    content: list
    is_error: bool = False
class MCPServer:
    """Minimal Model Context Protocol server implementation."""
    
    def __init__(self, name, version="1.0"):
        self.name = name
        self.version = version
        self.tools = {}
    
    def tool(self, name, description, schema):
        """Decorator to register a tool."""
        def decorator(func):
            self.tools[name] = {
                "definition": MCPTool(name, description, schema),
                "handler": func
            }
            return func
        return decorator
    
    def handle_request(self, method, params=None):
        if method == "tools/list":
            return [asdict(t["definition"]) for t in self.tools.values()]
        elif method == "tools/call":
            tool_name = params.get("name")
            args = params.get("arguments", {})
            if tool_name in self.tools:
                result = self.tools[tool_name]["handler"](args)
                return MCPResponse(content=[{"type": "text", "text": str(result)}])
        return MCPResponse(content=[{"type": "text", "text": "Unknown method"}], is_error=True)
Example server

server = MCPServer("example-server")
@server.tool("add", "Add two numbers", {"a": "number", "b": "number"})
def add(a, b):
    return a + b
Test

tools = server.handle_request("tools/list")
print(f"Available tools: {json.dumps(tools, indent=2)}")
result = server.handle_request("tools/call", {"name": "add", "arguments": {"a": 5, "b": 3}})
print(f"Result: {result.content[0]['text']}")
