Model Context Protocol (MCP) Practice

This repository is for hands-on learning, demos, and experiments with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard for passing context and enabling secure/structured LLM integrations.

What’s in this repo

• mcp-remote-demo/

  • Contains a Python virtual environment and installed MCP packages (such as mcp, pywin32, adodbapi, and others).
  • Vendor code includes examples and class implementations for MCP servers and clients, protocol features, and authentication. (See the mcp/server, mcp/client, and related modules under .venv/Lib/site-packages/mcp/.)
  • You will find code for:
    • Setting up & running MCP servers (see classes like FastMCP and modules such as session.py and request_context.py).
    • Handling server-to-client and client-to-server requests, task management, protocol versioning, and authentication.
    • Experimental MCP request context and task support, validation helpers, and sample protocol implementations.

• weather/

  • Minimal Python project that declares a dependency on mcp[cli] and httpx in its pyproject.toml.
  • Serves as an example of installing and using the MCP library in a new project.

What has been done

• The repo demonstrates:

  • Installation and local experimentation with the official MCP Python library and ecosystem tools.
  • Bootstrapping MCP-enabled Python environments for running example servers, exploring client APIs, and experimenting with MCP authentication and session handling.
  • Code review and exploration of internals, including examples of custom request contexts, task handling, and official core MCP concepts.

• No custom, user-authored (non-vendor) code implementing MCP protocol servers, resources, or tools was found here—the work focuses on integrating, running, and sandboxing existing MCP Python packages and examples.

How to try it out

1. Navigate to weather/ or mcp-remote-demo/.
2. Use your preferred Python environment. The MCP package is already listed as a dependency.
3. Review vendor code and examples in .venv/Lib/site-packages/mcp/ for extensibility tips and hands-on protocol reference.
