⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ Please use the offical MCP Rust SDK

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Rust SDK

⚠️ Warning: This SDK is currently a work in progress and is not ready for production use.

A Rust implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed for seamless communication between AI models and their runtime environments.

Features

• 🚀 Full implementation of MCP protocol specification
• 🔄 Multiple transport layers (WebSocket, stdio)
• ⚡ Async/await support using Tokio
• 🛡️ Type-safe message handling
• 🔍 Comprehensive error handling
• 📦 Zero-copy serialization/deserialization

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mcp_rust_sdk = "0.1.0"

Quick Start

Client Example

use mcp_rust_sdk::{Client, transport::WebSocketTransport};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a WebSocket transport
    let transport = WebSocketTransport::new("ws://localhost:8080").await?;
    
    // Create and connect the client
    let client = Client::new(transport);
    client.connect().await?;
    
    // Make requests
    let response = client.request("method_name", Some(params)).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Server Example

use mcp_rust_sdk::{Server, transport::StdioTransport};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a stdio transport
    let (transport, _) = StdioTransport::new();
    
    // Create and start the server
    let server = Server::new(transport);
    server.start().await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Transport Layers

The SDK supports multiple transport layers:

WebSocket Transport

• Ideal for network-based communication
• Supports both secure (WSS) and standard (WS) connections
• Built-in reconnection handling

stdio Transport

• Perfect for local process communication
• Lightweight and efficient
• Great for command-line tools and local development

Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive error handling through the Error type:

use mcp_rust_sdk::Error;

match result {
    Ok(value) => println!("Success: {:?}", value),
    Err(Error::Protocol(code, msg)) => println!("Protocol error {}: {}", code, msg),
    Err(Error::Transport(e)) => println!("Transport error: {}", e),
    Err(e) => println!("Other error: {}", e),
}
