Sample Building MCP Servers With Rust

MCP Sample

A Rust implementation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extending AI assistant capabilities.

Overview

This project provides sample MCP servers that can be used with Amazon Q or other MCP-compatible AI assistants. The servers implement various functionalities:

• Calculator Server: Performs basic arithmetic operations
• RDS Server: Interacts with Amazon RDS instances
• S3 Server: Manages Amazon S3 buckets and objects
• PostgreSQL Server: Connects to PostgreSQL databases and executes queries

Prerequisites

• Rust and Cargo
• AWS credentials configured for RDS and S3 operations
• An MCP-compatible AI assistant (like Amazon Q)

Installation

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-sample
cargo build

Usage

Build the executable files for each server:

# Build the calculator server
cargo build --release --bin calculator_server

# Build the RDS server
cargo build --release --bin rds_server

# Build the S3 server
cargo build --release --bin s3_server

# Build the PostgreSQL server
cargo build --release --bin postgresql_server

After building, you can run each server independently:

# Run the calculator server
./target/release/calculator_server

# Run the RDS server
./target/release/rds_server

# Run the S3 server
./target/release/s3_server

# Run the PostgreSQL server (requires a connection string)
./target/release/postgresql_server "postgresql://username:password@hostname:port/database"

Integration with Amazon Q CLI

To integrate these MCP servers with Amazon Q CLI or other MCP-compatible clients, add a configuration like this to your .amazon-q.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calculator": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-sample-servers-rust/target/release/calculator_server",
      "args": []
    },
    "s3": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-sample-servers-rust/target/release/s3_server",
      "args": []
    },
    "rds": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-sample-servers-rust/target/release/rds_server",
      "args": []
    },
    "postgres": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-sample-servers-rust/target/release/postgresql_server",
      "args": ["postgresql://username:password@hostname:port/database"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/mcp-sample-servers-rust/ with the actual path to your built binaries. Once configured, Amazon Q will be able to use these servers to extend its capabilities.

Server Descriptions

Calculator Server

Provides basic arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction.

RDS Server

Lists and manages Amazon RDS instances in specified regions.

S3 Server

Manages S3 buckets and objects, including listing buckets by region.

PostgreSQL Server

Connects to PostgreSQL databases and executes read-only queries, lists tables, and provides schema information.

Dependencies

• rmcp: Rust implementation of the Model Context Protocol
• AWS SDK for Rust (aws-sdk-s3, aws-sdk-rds, aws-config)
• Tokio for async runtime
• Serde for serialization/deserialization
• tokio-postgres for PostgreSQL database connectivity
