Run the sample

Create virtual environment

python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

pip install "mcp[cli]"

Run the server

uvicorn server:app --port 8000

Test the server out with GitHub Copilot and VS Code

Add the entry to mcp.json like so:

"servers": {
    "my-mcp-server-999e9ea3": {
        "url": "http://localhost:8001/sse",
        "type": "http"
    }
}

Make sure you click "start" on the server.

In GitHub Copilot paste the following prompt:

create a blog post named "Where Python comes from", the content is "Python is actually named after Monty Python Flying Circus"

The first time you will be asked whether to accept a Sampling action, then you will be asked to accept the tool to run "create_blog". You should see a response similar to:

{
  "result": "{\"id\": \"Where Python comes from\", \"abstract\": \"# Python's Origin\\n\\nPython, the popular programming language, derives its name from **Monty Python's Flying Circus**, the British comedy troupe, rather than the snake. This naming choice reflects the creator's desire to make programming more fun and accessible.\"}"
