gRPC Transport for MCP
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@gRPC Transport for MCPcall my_tool with x=42"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
gRPC Transport for MCP
Experimental / Proof of Concept
This package is a proof of concept for experimentation purposes. It is not intended for production use. The official Python package is being developed at GoogleCloudPlatform/mcp-grpc-transport-py — please follow/star that repo to stay updated.
A gRPC transport implementation for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) using FastMCP.
Background
SEP: gRPC as a native MCP transport — the specification enhancement proposal
Related MCP server: fal
Features
Server: expose a FastMCP server over gRPC
Client: call a gRPC MCP server and get back native
mcp.typesobjectsTool calls with text and image content, structured output, and progress reporting
Proto definitions sourced from GoogleCloudPlatform/mcp-grpc-transport-proto
Installation
uv syncThe proto package (mcp-transport-proto) is fetched directly from GitHub via [tool.uv.sources] — no manual proto compilation needed.
