# My MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server built with Ruby and the official MCP Ruby SDK.

## Features

- ✅ Tools: greet, calculate
- ✅ Prompts: code_review
- ✅ Resources: example-data
- ✅ Input/output schemas
- ✅ Tool annotations
- ✅ Structured content
- ✅ Full test coverage

## Requirements

- Ruby 3.0 or later

## Installation

```bash
bundle install

Usage

Stdio Transport

Run the server:

bundle exec bin/mcp-server

Then send JSON-RPC requests:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"ping"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"tools/list"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"greet","arguments":{"name":"Ruby"}}}

Rails Integration

Add to your Rails controller:

class McpController < ApplicationController
  def index
    server = MyMcpServer::Server.new(
      server_context: { user_id: current_user.id }
    )
    render json: server.handle_json(request.body.read)
  end
end

Testing

Run tests:

bundle exec rake test

Run linter:

bundle exec rake rubocop

Run all checks:

bundle exec rake

Integration with Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-mcp-server": {
      "command": "bundle",
      "args": ["exec", "bin/mcp-server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/my-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

## Generation Instructions

1. **Ask for project name and description**
2. **Generate all files** with proper naming and module structure
3. **Use classes for tools and prompts** for better organization
4. **Include input/output schemas** for type safety
5. **Add tool annotations** for behavior hints
6. **Include structured content** in responses
7. **Implement comprehensive tests** for all tools
8. **Follow Ruby conventions** (snake_case, modules, frozen_string_literal)
9. **Add proper error handling** with is_error flag
10. **Provide both stdio and HTTP** usage examples
