An official rust Model Context Protocol SDK implementation with tokio async runtime.
rmcp = { version = "0.1", features = ["server"] }
## or dev channel
rmcp = { git = "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk", branch = "main" }Start a client in one line:
use rmcp::{ServiceExt, transport::TokioChildProcess};
use tokio::process::Command;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let client = ().serve(
TokioChildProcess::new(Command::new("npx").arg("-y").arg("@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"))?
).await?;
Ok(())
}1. Build a transport
use tokio::io::{stdin, stdout};
let transport = (stdin(), stdout());The transport type must implemented [Transport] trait, which allow it send message concurrently and receive message sequentially.
There are 3 pairs of standard transport types:
| transport | client | server |
|---|---|---|
| std IO | [child_process::TokioChildProcess] |
[io::stdio] |
| streamable http | [streamable_http_client::StreamableHttpClientTransport] |
[streamable_http_server::session::create_session] |
| sse | [sse_client::SseClientTransport] |
[sse_server::SseServer] |
IntoTransport trait
[IntoTransport] is a helper trait that implicitly convert a type into a transport type.
These types is automatically implemented [IntoTransport] trait
- A type that already implement both [
futures::Sink] and [futures::Stream] trait, or a tuple(Tx, Rx)whereTxis [futures::Sink] andRxis [futures::Stream]. - A type that implement both [
tokio::io::AsyncRead] and [tokio::io::AsyncWrite] trait. or a tuple(R, W)whereRis [tokio::io::AsyncRead] andWis [tokio::io::AsyncWrite]. - A type that implement Worker trait.
- A type that implement [
Transport] trait.
For example, you can see how we build a transport through TCP stream or http upgrade so easily. examples
2. Build a service
You can easily build a service by using ServerHandler or ClientHandler.
let service = common::counter::Counter::new();3. Serve them together
// this call will finish the initialization process
let server = service.serve(transport).await?;4. Interact with the server
Once the server is initialized, you can send requests or notifications:
// request
let roots = server.list_roots().await?;
// or send notification
server.notify_cancelled(...).await?;5. Waiting for service shutdown
let quit_reason = server.waiting().await?;
// or cancel it
let quit_reason = server.cancel().await?;Use toolbox and tool macros to create tool quickly.
Example: Calculator Tool
Check this file.
use rmcp::{ServerHandler, model::ServerInfo, schemars, tool};
use super::counter::Counter;
#[derive(Debug, serde::Deserialize, schemars::JsonSchema)]
pub struct SumRequest {
#[schemars(description = "the left hand side number")]
pub a: i32,
#[schemars(description = "the right hand side number")]
pub b: i32,
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct Calculator;
// create a static toolbox to store the tool attributes
#[tool(tool_box)]
impl Calculator {
// async function
#[tool(description = "Calculate the sum of two numbers")]
async fn sum(&self, #[tool(aggr)] SumRequest { a, b }: SumRequest) -> String {
(a + b).to_string()
}
// sync function
#[tool(description = "Calculate the difference of two numbers")]
fn sub(
&self,
#[tool(param)]
// this macro will transfer the schemars and serde's attributes
#[schemars(description = "the left hand side number")]
a: i32,
#[tool(param)]
#[schemars(description = "the right hand side number")]
b: i32,
) -> String {
(a - b).to_string()
}
}
// impl call_tool and list_tool by querying static toolbox
#[tool(tool_box)]
impl ServerHandler for Calculator {
fn get_info(&self) -> ServerInfo {
ServerInfo {
instructions: Some("A simple calculator".into()),
..Default::default()
}
}
}The only thing you should do is to make the function's return type implement IntoCallToolResult.
And you can just implement IntoContents, and the return value will be marked as success automatically.
If you return a type of Result<T, E> where T and E both implemented IntoContents, it's also OK.
For many cases you need to manage several service in a collection, you can call into_dyn to convert services into the same type.
let service = service.into_dyn();See docs/OAUTH_SUPPORT.md for details.
