MCP RS Test MCP Server

Rust-based MCP server implementation for learning and testing MCP client interactions.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "andrewsah-mcp_rs_test": {
      "command": "<path to your mcp_rs_test.exe>",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

You can run a Rust-based MCP server that implements the MCP protocol to interact with MCP clients for development, testing, and learning. This server helps you experiment with client interactions, routing, and protocol exchanges in a local environment.

How to use

To use this MCP server, you run the compiled executable and connect an MCP client to it. The server is intended for learning and testing client behavior, and it accepts standard MCP connections from compliant clients. Start the server, then configure your MCP client to point at the running instance using the correct port and address as you set up in your environment.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing and running the server:

Rust 1.83 or later (cargo is used to build)

Step-by-step commands to install and run the server locally:

# Build a debug version
cargo build

# Build a release version
cargo build --release

Additional notes

The server is intended to be run as a local MCP service. To integrate it with a desktop workflow, you can point a launcher or a configuration entry at the executable you build and use the provided configuration snippet to start it from your desktop environment.
