todo-mcp

The foro.sh example project: a small, stateful todo-list MCP server. Every new foro.sh workspace gets a deployed copy, so there is a live MCP endpoint to poke at before deploying anything of your own.

Tools

Tool

Description

add_task(title, priority)

It also exposes two resources: tasks://board, the current board rendered as markdown, and ui://todo/list, the interactive view described below.

The interactive view

Every todo tool carries _meta.ui.resourceUri pointing at ui://todo/list, per the MCP Apps extension. A host that supports the extension fetches that resource — view.html, served as text/html;profile=mcp-app — and renders it in a sandboxed iframe beside the tool result: a checkbox list you can tick to complete and untick to reopen.

The view talks back over postMessage using @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps: callServerTool to mutate the list, updateModelContext to tell the model what is on screen, and ontoolresult to re-render when the model changes the list itself. Because that SDK loads from a CDN, the resource declares unpkg.com under _meta.ui.csp — hosts build the iframe's Content-Security-Policy from that, and an undeclared origin means a blank view.

Hosts without the extension are unaffected: they ignore the metadata and show the plain tool results.

State

Tasks live in the server's memory. That is the point of the example: a tool call in one session mutates state the next call sees, because the container keeps running between calls. The ceiling is just as real: state resets whenever the server restarts or redeploys. For anything that must survive a restart, back your server with a database or external store.

Run it locally

uv run server.py

The server speaks MCP over streamable HTTP at http://localhost:8000/mcp (set PORT to change the port - the same name foro injects when it deploys you).

Deploy it

Its pyproject.toml is all foro.sh needs, so this repo deploys as-is: sign in, pick this repo, deploy.
