### Description (declared)

# mcp-utils-msgspec

A synchronous Python utility package for building Model Context Protocol (MCP)
servers with `msgspec`.

![Tests](https://github.com/pioreactor/mcp-utils/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg) ![PyPI - Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mcp-utils-msgspec)

This package targets **MCP protocol revision `2026-07-28`**. It implements the
modern stateless protocol: there is no `initialize` handshake, implicit MCP
session, or long-lived HTTP GET stream.

## Features

- Required `server/discover` support
- Per-request protocol version and client capability metadata
- Tools, prompts, resources, simple `{name}` resource templates, and completions
- Multi-round-trip input requests and retry metadata
- Required `resultType`, cache hints, and server identity metadata
- Synchronous, framework-independent request handling
- Optional validation of standard Streamable HTTP mirror headers
- `msgspec` models for the supported server surface

The core returns either one JSON response or no response for a JSON-RPC
notification. It does not implement optional request-scoped SSE streams or
`subscriptions/listen`, the tasks extension, or optional `x-mcp-header` tool
parameter annotations.

## Installation

```bash
pip install mcp-utils-msgspec
```

For development:

```bash
pip install -e '.[dev]'
```

Python 3.10 or newer and `msgspec` 0.18 or newer are required. Flask and
Gunicorn are optional and only needed for the HTTP example.

## Define a server

```python
from mcp_utils.core import MCPServer
from mcp_utils.schema import GetPromptResult, Message, Role, TextContent

mcp = MCPServer(
    name="weather",
    version="1.0.0",
    instructions="Use get_weather for current conditions.",
)

@mcp.tool()
def get_weather(city: str) -> dict[str, str]:
    """Return the current conditions for a city."""
    return {"city": city, "conditions": "sunny"}

@mcp.prompt()
def weather_report(city: str) -> GetPromptResult:
    """Create a prompt asking for a weather report."""
…
