Provides a framework for running the MCP server, enabling route handling and request processing for Model Context Protocol interactions
Enables deployment of the MCP server as serverless functions, with custom URL routing and simplified deployment pipeline
Used for configuration of redirects to ensure proper routing of MCP requests to the serverless function

About this example site
This site shows a very a basic example of developing and running serverless MCP using Netlify Functions. It includes links to a deployed serverless function and an example of accessing the function using a customized URL.
Importantly, because of how Express handles mapping routes, ensure you set the netlify.toml
redirects to the correct path. In this example we have the following to ensure /mcp catches all of the requests to this server:
Speedily deploy your own version
Deploy your own version of this example site, by clicking the Deploy to Netlify Button below. This will automatically:
- Clone a copy of this example from the examples repo to your own GitHub account
- Create a new project in your Netlify account, linked to your new repo
- Create an automated deployment pipeline to watch for changes on your repo
- Build and deploy your new site
- This repo can then be used to iterate on locally using
netlify dev
Install and run the examples locally
You can clone this entire examples repo to explore this and other examples, and to run them locally.
This server cannot be installed
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
