Echo Service - ChukMCP Server Test Project

ChukMCP Echo Service

An async-native demonstration MCP (Model Context Protocol) service built using the ChukMCP Server framework. This service showcases various MCP capabilities including text processing, data manipulation, and testing features with full async/await support.

Features

• Async-Native Architecture: All tools and resources implemented with async/await
• Text Processing: Echo, uppercase, reverse text operations
• Data Manipulation: JSON echoing with metadata, list processing, number operations
• Testing Utilities: Delayed responses for async testing, error simulation
• Resource Management: Configuration, status, examples, and documentation resources
• Non-blocking I/O: Handles concurrent requests efficiently

Installation

Using pip

pip install chuk-mcp-echo

Using uv

uv pip install chuk-mcp-echo

Using uvx (for running directly)

uvx chuk-mcp-echo

Development Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/chuk-mcp-echo.git
cd chuk-mcp-echo
make dev-install

Quick Start

Running the Service

The echo service can run in two modes: HTTP mode (default) and stdio mode (for MCP clients).

HTTP Mode (Default)

# Using the installed command
chuk-mcp-echo

# Or explicitly specify HTTP mode
chuk-mcp-echo http

# With custom host and port
chuk-mcp-echo http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000

# Or using make
make run

# Or using uvx
uvx chuk-mcp-echo

The service will start on http://localhost:8000 with the MCP endpoint at http://localhost:8000/mcp.

Stdio Mode (For MCP Clients)

# Run in stdio mode for MCP clients
chuk-mcp-echo stdio

# With debug logging (sent to stderr)
chuk-mcp-echo stdio --debug

# Using uvx
uvx chuk-mcp-echo stdio

MCP Client Configuration

To use this service with an MCP client (like Claude Desktop or mcp-cli), add the following to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echo": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["chuk-mcp-echo", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Or if you have it installed locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echo": {
      "command": "chuk-mcp-echo",
      "args": ["stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Or if you want to run it from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echo": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "chuk_mcp_echo.main", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/chuk-mcp-echo/src"
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing with MCP Inspector

1. Open MCP Inspector
2. Set Transport Type to "Streamable HTTP"
3. Enter URL: http://localhost:8000/mcp
4. Connect and explore available tools and resources

Available Tools

Text Processing

• echo_text(message, prefix="", suffix="") - Echo text with optional formatting
• echo_uppercase(text) - Convert text to uppercase
• echo_reverse(text) - Reverse the text

Data Processing

• echo_json(data) - Echo JSON data with metadata
• echo_list(items, sort=False, reverse=False) - Process and echo lists
• echo_number(number, multiply=1.0, add=0.0) - Perform number operations

Testing & Utility

• echo_delay(message, delay_seconds=1.0) - Test async delayed responses
• echo_error(should_error=False, error_message="Test error") - Test error handling
• get_service_info() - Get service information

Available Resources

• echo://config - Service configuration and features (JSON)
• echo://status - Current service status and health (JSON)
• echo://examples - Comprehensive usage examples (JSON)
• echo://docs - Complete service documentation (Markdown)

Usage Examples

Using with Python Client

import asyncio
from chuk_mcp_client import ChukMCPClient

async def main():
    client = ChukMCPClient("http://localhost:8000/mcp")
    
    # Echo text
    result = await client.call_tool("echo_text", {
        "message": "Hello, World!",
        "prefix": ">>> ",
        "suffix": " <<<"
    })
    print(result)  # >>> Hello, World! <<<
    
    # Process a list
    result = await client.call_tool("echo_list", {
        "items": [3, 1, 4, 1, 5],
        "sort": True
    })
    print(result["processed"])  # [1, 1, 3, 4, 5]
    
    # Test async behavior with delay
    result = await client.call_tool("echo_delay", {
        "message": "Delayed message",
        "delay_seconds": 2.0
    })
    print(result["actual_delay"])  # ~2.0

asyncio.run(main())

Concurrent Execution Example

async def test_concurrent_requests():
    # Multiple requests execute concurrently
    tasks = [
        client.call_tool("echo_delay", {"message": f"Message {i}", "delay_seconds": 2.0})
        for i in range(3)
    ]
    
    # All complete in ~2 seconds (concurrent) not 6 seconds (sequential)
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    return results
