# MCP Inspector
A minimal demo showcasing the `use-mcp` React hook for connecting to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
## Features
- Connect to any MCP server via URL
- View available tools and their schemas
- Real-time connection status monitoring
- Debug logging for troubleshooting
- Clean, minimal UI focused on MCP functionality
## Getting Started
0. Make sure you've built the parent `use-mcp` directory at least once!
```bash
cd ../.. && pnpm build && cd -
```
Alternatively, run `pnpm dev` in the parent directory in a second terminal if you want to iterate on both the library and the example together.
1. Install dependencies:
```bash
pnpm install
```
2. Start the development server:
```bash
pnpm dev
```
3. Open your browser and navigate to the displayed local URL
4. Enter an MCP server URL to test the connection and explore available tools
## What This Demonstrates
This example shows how easy it is to integrate MCP servers into a React application using the `use-mcp` hook. The core functionality is just:
```tsx
import { useMcp } from 'use-mcp/react'
const connection = useMcp({
url: 'your-mcp-server-url',
debug: true,
autoRetry: false
})
// Access connection.state, connection.tools, connection.error, etc.
```
The `McpServers` component wraps this hook to provide a complete UI for server management and tool inspection.
