A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server template with Server-Sent Events transport, deployed on Shuttle. MCP servers enable AI agents to securely connect to external data sources and tools, providing real-time access to databases, APIs, and live data streams.

• MCP server with SSE transport
• Counter service with increment, decrement, get_value, and reset operations
• Ready-to-deploy on Shuttle

This MCP SSE server template is ideal for:

• AI Agent Integration: Connect AI assistants like Claude, GPT, or local models to real-time data streams
• Live Data Monitoring: Stream counter values, metrics, or status updates to AI agents for real-time decision making
• Interactive Applications: Build chatbots or AI assistants that can interact with stateful services
• Prototyping MCP Servers: Use as a starting point for custom MCP servers with Server-Sent Events transport

shuttle run

shuttle deploy

• http://localhost:8000/sse - SSE endpoint for MCP client connections
• http://localhost:8000/message - Message endpoint

After deployment, your MCP server will be available at:

• https://your-project-name.shuttle.app/sse - SSE endpoint for MCP client connections
• https://your-project-name.shuttle.app/message - Message endpoint

Replace your-project-name with the actual name of your deployed project (e.g., mcp-z8dz.shuttle.app).

To use this MCP server with Cursor, add the following to your mcp.json configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-sse": {
      "url": "https://your-project-name.shuttle.app/sse"
    }
  }
}

Or if connecting to your local development server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-sse-local": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Replace your-project-name with your actual deployed project name.

• increment - Increment counter by 1
• decrement - Decrement counter by 1
• get_value - Get current counter value
• reset - Reset counter to zero
