🎯 Why MCP Rust SDK?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing how AI assistants interact with external systems. While the official rmcp SDK provides basic functionality, mcp-rust-sdk fills the gap for production applications that need:

  • 🏢 Enterprise-grade reliability with comprehensive error handling and monitoring
  • 🌐 Multiple transport options beyond just STDIO (HTTP, WebSocket)
  • ⚡ Advanced session management with auto-reconnection and connection pooling
  • 🚀 Production-ready features like validation, performance optimization, and extensive testing

Perfect For:

  • Enterprise Applications requiring reliability and monitoring
  • Multi-Client Systems with WebSocket or HTTP transports
  • Real-time Applications with live data streaming
  • Complex Integrations needing advanced session management
  • Production Deployments requiring comprehensive error handling

🚀 Quick Start

30-Second Server

use mcp_rust_sdk::{server::McpServer, transport::stdio::StdioServerTransport};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut server = McpServer::new("my-server".to_string(), "1.0.0".to_string());
    
    // Add your tools, resources, and prompts
    server.add_tool("echo".to_string(), None, json!({}), EchoTool).await?;
    
    // Start with any transport (STDIO, HTTP, WebSocket)
    let transport = StdioServerTransport::new();
    server.start(transport).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Simple Client Connection

use mcp_rust_sdk::{client::{McpClient, ClientSession}, transport::websocket::WebSocketClientTransport};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = McpClient::new("my-client".to_string(), "1.0.0".to_string());
    let session = ClientSession::new(client);
    
    // Connect via WebSocket, HTTP, or STDIO
    let transport = WebSocketClientTransport::new("ws://localhost:8080").await?;
    let init_result = session.connect(transport).await?;
    
    // Use the connected client
    let result = session.client().lock().await.call_tool("echo".to_string(), None).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

🎯 Use Cases & Examples

Enterprise Applications

// Financial trading platform with real-time data
let transport = WebSocketServerTransport::new("0.0.0.0:8080");
server.add_tool("get_market_data", MarketDataTool).await?;
server.start(transport).await?; // Supports 1000+ concurrent connections

Multi-Client Systems

// Customer support platform with live chat
let transport = HttpServerTransport::new("0.0.0.0:3000");
server.add_tool("create_ticket", TicketTool).await?;
// RESTful API: POST /mcp/request + SSE events: GET /mcp/events

Real-time Applications

// Live collaboration with AI assistance  
let session_config = SessionConfig {
    auto_reconnect: true,
    max_reconnect_attempts: 10,
    // ... resilient configuration
};
