=============================
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications
and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface,
or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.
mcp-rs-template is a simple application template that demonstrates how to implement MCP CLI server in Rust.
# How to use template?
1. Clone the repository
2. Modify project information in Cargo.toml and src/mcp/mod.rs
3. Modify server handlers:
src/mcp/prompts.rs: prompts handlers
src/mcp/resources.rs: resources handlers
src/mcp/tools.rs: tools handlers
4. Modify src/mcp/templates/.json if you prefer to use json files for prompts, resources, and tools
mcp-rs-template is based on rust-rpc-router, a JSON-RPC routing
library for Rust.
# CLI options
--mcp: Enable MCP server
--resources: display resources
--prompts: display prompts
--tools: display tools
# How to use MCP CLI server in Claude Desktop?
1. Edit claudedesktopconfig.json: Claude Desktop -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config
2. Add the following configuration to the servers section:
json
"mcpServers": {
"current-time": {
"command": "mcp-rs-template",
"args": [
"--mcp"
],
"env": {
"APIKEY": "xxxx"
