Documentation

mcp-streamable-http-python-server

This is a starting place for a new streamable-http MCP Server built with python.

Streamable HTTP Transport was introduced on 2025-03-26. See MCP Spec Changelog.

Starts with the MCP Python SDK Quickstart Example and contains dependencies for MCP to get rolling.

Clone or fork this repo, make updates and start building your Streamable HTTP MCP Server with Python.

Running

Set up your environment:

bash

python3.11 -m venv my_env
. ./my_env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the server:

bash

python server.py

With a custom port:

bash

PORT=3002 python server.py

Connect a Client

You can connect a client to your MCP Server once it's running. Configure per the client's configuration. There is the mcp-config.json that has an example configuration that looks like this:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memvid": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    }
  }
}
