A FastAPI application that demonstrates Server-Sent Events (SSE) integration with the Model Context Protocol

This project showcases how to use Server-Sent Events (SSE) as a transport layer for MCP in a FastAPI application. It provides a simple echo service that can:

• Handle FastAPI HTTP requests
• Implement MCP tools, resources and prompts using the MCP python-sdk

• Python 3.12+
• FastAPI 0.115.11+
• MCP 1.4.1+

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ragieai/fastapi-sse-mcp.git
   cd fastapi-sse-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

   uv sync --dev

Start the FastAPI server:

uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload

The server will be available at https://127.0.0.1:8000.

• GET / - Returns a simple JSON greeting
• GET /sse/ - SSE endpoint for establishing connections
• POST /messages/ - Endpoint for sending messages over SSE

The application provides three example MCP functions:

1. Tool Function: Echoes messages

   @mcp.tool()
   def echo_tool(message: str) -> str:
       """Echo a message as a tool"""
       return f"Tool echo: {message}"

2. Prompt Function: Creates echo prompts

   @mcp.prompt()
   def echo_prompt(message: str) -> str:
       """Create an echo prompt"""
       return f"Please process this message: {message}"

3. Resource Function: Handles resource requests

   @mcp.resource("echo://{message}")
   def echo_resource(message: str) -> str:
       """Echo a message as a resource"""
       return f"Resource echo: {message}"
