Geometry Engine MCP Server

An Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing geometry utilities (like hypotenuse calculation and shape registration) over Server-Sent Events (SSE) via FastMCP and Docker.

📋 Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker installed and running.

• Visual Studio Code with an MCP-compatible Chat Extension (e.g., GitHub Copilot Agent / VS Code MCP Client).

• Git installed.

🚀 Quick Start Guide

1. Clone the Repository

git clone [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)<your-username>/<your-repo-name>.git
cd <your-repo-name>

2. Build and Run the Docker Container

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t geometry-mcp-clean .

Run the container in detached mode on port 8000:

docker run -d --rm -p 8000:8000 --name geometry-mcp-server geometry-mcp-clean

Verify that the server is running by checking the active containers:

docker ps

3. Connect to VS Code

1. Create a local configuration folder inside the repository (if it doesn't already exist):

   mkdir -p .vscode

2. Create or update .vscode/mcp.json with the following configuration:

   {
     "servers": {
       "geometry-engine": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
       }
     }
   }

3. Open VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P).

4. Search for and execute: MCP: Restart Server $\rightarrow$ select geometry-engine.

🛠 Available Tools

• calculate_hypotenuse(a: float, b: float): Calculates the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle given legs $a$ and $b$.

• register_circle_shape(circle: CustomCircle): Saves circle properties (shape_name, radius) to the server state registry.

💬 Usage Example

In your VS Code Chat panel:

"Calculate the hypotenuse for a right-angled triangle with sides 6 and 8 using geometry-engine."
