MCP Server Builder

PyPI version CI Python 3.13+ License: MIT

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for searching MCP protocol and FastMCP documentation.

This MCP server helps you build correct MCP servers by providing searchable access to the official MCP specification and FastMCP framework documentation, always reflecting the current state of the protocol.

Features

  • BM25 Search — Advanced full-text search with Porter stemming and n-gram indexing

  • Stop Word Removal — 179 common English stop words filtered for better relevance

  • Domain Term Preservation — MCP-specific terms (mcp, json, rpc, stdio) kept intact

  • Lazy Loading — Fast startup with on-demand content fetching

  • Always Current — Indexes live documentation from llms.txt sources on startup

Data Sources

The server indexes documentation from these curated llms.txt sources:

Source

Description

modelcontextprotocol.io/llms.txt

Official MCP protocol specification

gofastmcp.com/llms.txt

FastMCP Python framework documentation

Prerequisites

  1. Install uv from Astral

  2. Install Python 3.13 or newer using uv python install 3.13

Installation

Configure in your MCP client:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-builder": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-builder@latest"], "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Config file locations:

  • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windsurf: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

  • Kiro: .kiro/settings/mcp.json in your project

Install from PyPI

# Using uv uv add mcp-server-builder # Using pip pip install mcp-server-builder

Basic Usage

Example prompts to try:

  • "How do I define tools in FastMCP?"

  • "What is the MCP lifecycle?"

  • "Show me stdio transport configuration"

  • "How to handle tool errors in MCP?"

  • "What are MCP resources and how do I use them?"

Available Tools

search_mcp_docs

Search MCP protocol and FastMCP documentation with ranked results and snippets.

search_mcp_docs(query: str, k: int = 5) -> list[dict]

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

query

str

required

Search query (e.g., "tool input schema", "stdio transport")

k

int

5

Maximum number of results to return

Returns: List of results with url, title, score, and snippet.

Example:

search_mcp_docs("how to define tools", k=3) # Returns top 3 matching documents with snippets

fetch_mcp_doc

Retrieve full documentation page content by URL.

fetch_mcp_doc(uri: str) -> dict

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

uri

str

required

Document URL (http/https)

Returns: Dictionary with url, title, content (or error on failure).

Example:

fetch_mcp_doc("https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/tools") # Returns full page content

Workflow Example

Step 1: Search for relevant documentation

search_mcp_docs("FastMCP tool decorator", k=5)

Step 2: Fetch full content of the most relevant result

fetch_mcp_doc("https://gofastmcp.com/tutorials/tools")

Architecture

llms.txt URLs (MCP + FastMCP) ↓ startup BM25 index with stemmed tokens + n-grams (titles only, fast) ↓ search request Stem query → match unigrams/bigrams/trigrams → BM25 rank ↓ top-k Lazy content hydration → snippet extraction ↓ response { url, title, score, snippet }

Development
