This is a basic example of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that demonstrates core functionality including tools and resources.

Setup Steps

1. Initialize the project (Go to any local folder and launch powershell or cmd):

uv init mcp-server-basic
cd mcp-server-basic

2. Create virtual environment and activate it

  uv venv
  .venv\Scripts\activate
