Rust MCP Stdio Server Test

This repository contains a simple example of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implemented in Rust using a newline-delimited JSON stdio transport.

Status

This is currently a basic test implementation created for learning and debugging purposes. It handles the MCP initialization handshake and basic list commands (`tools/list`, `resources/list`, `prompts/list`) as well as a dummy tool call (`tools/call`).

Usage

1. Build the server:

cargo build

2. Configure an MCP client (like Claude Desktop) to launch the executable found at `target/debug/mcp-rust-sdk`. Ensure the client uses newline-delimited JSON for stdio communication.

For example, in `claude_desktop_config.json` (or similar client configuration), you might add an entry like this, replacing the `command` path with the absolute path to your built executable:

{
        "mcpServers": {
            "rust_stdio_test": {
                "command": "/path/to/your/mcp-rust-sdk/target/debug/mcp-rust-sdk"
            }
            // ... other servers ...
        }
    }

*(Remember to use the correct absolute path for your system)*

3. Set the `RUST_LOG` environment variable (e.g., `RUST_LOG=debug` or `RUST_LOG=trace`) to control logging verbosity. Logs are written to `$HOME/.screenpipe/logs/rust_stdio_test_logs/`.
