Integrates with Amazon Q CLI, allowing the MCP server to be configured and used with Amazon Q for command center functionality and mathematical operations.
Leverages Pydantic for data validation and settings management within the MCP server implementation.
Built on Python with specific version requirements (3.11+), using Python's ecosystem for implementing the Mondel Context Protocol server.
MCP Server Bootstrap: A Template for Building Modular Command Center Servers
MCP Server Bootstrap is a Python-based template for creating modular command center servers using the Mondel Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a structured foundation for building scalable command center applications with support for basic mathematical operations and modular arithmetic functions.
The project implements a modular architecture that combines individual function files into a single server core at runtime. This approach maintains code organization during development while accommodating current MCP SDK limitations regarding modularity. The template provides a foundation for building scalable command center applications with custom functionality.

Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions:
Module Not Found Errors
Error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastmcp'Solution: Ensure you've activated the virtual environment and installed dependencies:
source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
Build Failures
Error:
FileNotFoundError: core_combined.py not foundSolution: Run the build script from the project root:
python mcp_server/build_mcp.py
Version Compatibility
Error:
Python version X.X is less than required 3.11Solution: Install Python 3.11 or higher and ensure it's in your PATH
Data Flow
The MCP server processes function calls by combining individual function modules into a single core server file, which then handles incoming requests and routes them to the appropriate function implementation.
Component interactions:
The build script combines individual function files into a single core server file
The MCP server initializes with the combined functions
Client requests are received by the server core
Requests are routed to the appropriate function based on the tool name
Functions process the input and return results
The server core formats and sends the response back to the client
Error handling is managed at both the server and function levels
