Provides a foundation for developing serverless MCP using Express.js routing capabilities, allowing for customized URL paths and endpoint handling
Enables deployment of MCP servers as Netlify Functions, with support for serverless execution and customized URL routing through Netlify redirects
Uses TOML configuration to set up proper redirects for the MCP server routes within the Netlify environment

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:
