Local Development
Prerequisites:
Python 3.9+
pip
Install dependencies:
Run the server locally over HTTP:
The MCP endpoint will be available at http://localhost:8000/mcp.
Optional: Test with a simple client script.
Create client_test.py:
Run it:
Deploy to FastMCP Cloud
FastMCP Cloud hosts MCP servers from your GitHub repository and provides a URL like https://your-project-name.fastmcp.app/mcp ([1]).
Steps:
Push this repository to GitHub (ensure
requirements.txtis present).Sign in to FastMCP Cloud with your GitHub account and create a project.
Set the entrypoint to
my_server.py:mcp(Cloud imports the server object and ignores__main__) ([2]).Deploy; your server becomes available at
https://<project>.fastmcp.app/mcp.
Notes:
Cloud automatically installs dependencies from
requirements.txt([1]).Entry-point configuration accepts
file.py:object_namesyntax if you rename the server instance ([1]).
