Everything MCP Server

This MCP server attempts to exercise all the features of the MCP protocol. It is not intended to be a useful server, but rather a test server for builders of MCP clients. It implements prompts, tools, resources, sampling, and more to showcase MCP capabilities.

Components

Tools

1. `echo`

2. `add`

3. `longRunningOperation`

4. `sampleLLM`

5. `getTinyImage`

6. `printEnv`

7. `annotatedMessage`

{
       "priority": 1.0,
       "audience": ["user", "assistant"]
     }

8. `getResourceReference`

Resources

The server provides 100 test resources in two formats:

• Even numbered resources:
  • Plaintext format
  • URI pattern: `test://static/resource/{even_number}`
  • Content: Simple text description

• Odd numbered resources:
  • Binary blob format
  • URI pattern: `test://static/resource/{odd_number}`
  • Content: Base64 encoded binary data

Resource features:

• Supports pagination (10 items per page)
• Allows subscribing to resource updates
• Demonstrates resource templates
• Auto-updates subscribed resources every 5 seconds

Prompts

1. `simple_prompt`

2. `complex_prompt`

3. `resource_prompt`

Logging

The server sends random-leveled log messages every 15 seconds, e.g.:

{
  "method": "notifications/message",
  "params": {
	"level": "info",
	"data": "Info-level message"
  }
}

Usage with Claude Desktop (uses stdio Transport)

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage with VS Code

For quick installation, use of of the one-click install buttons below...

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing `Ctrl + Shift + P` and typing `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`.

Optionally, you can add it to a file called `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

> Note that the `mcp` key is not needed in the `.vscode/mcp.json` file.
