# My MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server built with Ruby and the official MCP Ruby SDK.
## Features
- ✅ Tools: greet, calculate
- ✅ Prompts: code_review
- ✅ Resources: example-data
- ✅ Input/output schemas
- ✅ Tool annotations
- ✅ Structured content
- ✅ Full test coverage
## Requirements
- Ruby 3.0 or later
## Installation
```bash
bundle install
```
## Usage
### Stdio Transport
Run the server:
```bash
bundle exec bin/mcp-server
```
Then send JSON-RPC requests:
```bash
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"ping"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"tools/list"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"greet","arguments":{"name":"Ruby"}}}
```
### Rails Integration
Add to your Rails controller:
```ruby
class McpController < ApplicationController
def index
server = MyMcpServer::Server.new(
server_context: { user_id: current_user.id }
)
render json: server.handle_json(request.body.read)
end
end
```
## Testing
Run tests:
```bash
bundle exec rake test
```
Run linter:
```bash
bundle exec rake rubocop
```
Run all checks:
```bash
bundle exec rake
```
## Integration with Claude Desktop
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-mcp-server": {
"command": "bundle",
"args": ["exec", "bin/mcp-server"],
"cwd": "/path/to/my-mcp-server"
}
}
}
```

## Generation Instructions
1. **Ask for project name and description**
2. **Generate all files** with proper naming and module structure
3. **Use classes for tools and prompts** for better organization
4. **Include input/output schemas** for type safety
5. **Add tool annotations** for behavior hints
6. **Include structured content** in responses
7. **Implement comprehensive tests** for all tools
8. **Follow Ruby conventions** (snake_case, modules, frozen_string_literal)
9. **Add proper error handling** with is_error flag
10. **Provide both stdio and HTTP** usage examplesRelated Skills
