unnecessary complexity

## How Has This Been Tested?
Locally

## Breaking Changes
No

MCP Kotlin Server Sample

A sample implementation of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Kotlin that demonstrates different server configurations and transport methods.

Features

  • Multiple server operation modes:
    • Standard I/O server
    • SSE (Server-Sent Events) server with plain configuration
    • SSE server using Ktor plugin
  • Built-in capabilities for:
    • Prompts management
    • Resources handling
    • Tools integration

Getting Started

Running the Server

The server defaults to SSE mode with Ktor plugin on port 3001. You can customize the behavior using command-line arguments.

Default (SSE with Ktor plugin):

./gradlew run

Standard I/O mode:

./gradlew run --args="--stdio"

SSE with plain configuration:

./gradlew run --args="--sse-server 3001"

SSE with Ktor plugin (custom port):

./gradlew run --args="--sse-server-ktor 3002"

Connecting to the Server

For SSE servers:

  1. Start the server
  2. Use the MCP inspector to connect to http://localhost:<port>/sse

For STDIO servers:

  • Connect using an MCP client that supports STDIO transport

Server Capabilities

  • Prompts: Supports prompt management with list change notifications
  • Resources: Includes subscription support and list change notifications
  • Tools: Supports tool management with list change notifications

Implementation Details

The server is implemented using:

  • Ktor for HTTP server functionality (SSE modes)
  • Kotlin coroutines for asynchronous operations
  • SSE for real-time communication in web contexts
  • Standard I/O for command-line interface and process-based communication

Example Capabilities

The sample server demonstrates:

  • Prompt: "Kotlin Developer" - helps develop small Kotlin applications with a configurable project name
  • Tool: "kotlin-sdk-tool" - a simple test tool that returns a greeting
  • Resource: "Web Search" - a placeholder resource demonstrating resource handling
