Or using pip:

pip install -e .

Usage

Running the MCP Server

Start the server using:

docker compose up -d

VS Code Configuration

To use this MCP server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code, create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "fastmcp-starter-kit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8100/sse", "--allow-http"]
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

Make sure your MCP server is running on the port specified in the configuration.
If you're running the server on port 8000 (default), update the URL to http://localhost:8000/sse
The --allow-http flag is required for local HTTP connections

Once you have the MCP server running, you can connect it to GitHub Copilot to access the custom tools. Here's how it looks in GitHub Copilot:

Development

To add new tools to your MCP server:

Add new tool functions in src/server.py using the @mcp.tool() decorator
Restart the server
The new tools will be automatically available to connected clients

Example:

@mcp.tool()
async def my_new_tool(param: str) -> str:
    """Description of what this tool does."""
    return f"Processed: {param}"
