This MCP server example shows how to run a simple web server directly from a GitHub repository using a temporary environment. It demonstrates a practical, minimal setup you can reproduce to host or test an MCP-enabled service quickly.

How to use

You run the MCP server by launching the virtual execution environment tool to fetch the code and start the application. The server is accessible on your local machine after it starts, typically at http://127.0.0.1:8000. Use an MCP client to connect, send requests, and observe responses from the server. If you want to stop the server, terminate the running process in your terminal or close the session.

How to install

Prerequisites You need to have the MCP runtime tool installed on your system.

Install the MCP runtime tool (uvx) on your system.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

For Windows PowerShell:

irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

Additional sections

Configuration and running guidance are provided through a direct command that fetches the server code from GitHub and starts the application in a temporary environment.

Start command to run the MCP server using uvx:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/sakthigcp/mcpserverexample.git mcp-server

After this command executes, the server will be available on your local machine, typically at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
