mcp_sdk_petstore_api_v11 -

You run an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes API endpoints as tools you can call from AI assistants via Server-Sent Events (SSE). It connects to a target API, presents its endpoints as reusable tools, and serves them over SSE so clients can stream responses and interact with the API capabilities.

How to use

Start the server and connect your MCP client to the SSE URL to begin using the available tools. You will interact with the server by listing tools, invoking them, and receiving streamed responses over the SSE endpoint.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.10 or higher and pip.

Step 1: Extract the package.

unzip mcp_sdk_petstore_api_v11.zip
cd mcp_sdk_petstore_api_v11

Step 2: Install dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Configure authentication if needed.

# Edit the configuration file to set up authentication as required
# Example: update auth_config sections in config.json

Step 4: Run the MCP server.

python main.py

Step 5: Note the MCP URL from the startup output.

MCP Connection URL:
  http://localhost:8000/sse

Additional sections

Configuration details and server behavior are described below to help you tailor the server to your environment.

Starting and stopping the server, changing host and port, and verifying health are shown in practical steps.

Authentication can be configured to secure the target API calls by updating the auth_config in config.json.

Test health and connectivity to ensure the server and target API are reachable.

If the server needs to be accessible from other machines, adjust the host to 0.0.0.0 in config.json and ensure proper network access.

The server is designed to handle multiple clients concurrently via SSE.
