Python MCP Server Template
A minimal template for creating a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using the Python SDK.
:wrench: Setup
[!TIP] If you want to create your own server, create a new repository using this template.
:package: Prerequisites
- uv for package management
- Python 3.13+ (
uv python install 3.13)
:gear: Setup Python environment
Install all dependencies and activate the virtual environment
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate
:rocket: How to use
The server can be run in multiple ways:
:robot: Visual Studio Code
The configuration to run this server in VSCode is already included in .vscode/mcp.json.
All you need to do is Open VS Code Copilot Edits (Agent Mode)
[!NOTE] At the time of writing this, MCP is only available in Visual Studio Code Insiders version
:microscope: Development Mode
The fastest way to test and debug your server is with the MCP Inspector:
mcp dev server/main.py
or you can run your server directly
python server/main.py
