# MCP Simple Pagination
A simple MCP server demonstrating pagination for tools, resources, and prompts using cursor-based pagination.
## Usage
Start the server using either stdio (default) or Streamable HTTP transport:
```bash
# Using stdio transport (default)
uv run mcp-simple-pagination
# Using Streamable HTTP transport on custom port
uv run mcp-simple-pagination --transport streamable-http --port 8000
```
The server exposes:
- 25 tools (paginated, 5 per page)
- 30 resources (paginated, 10 per page)
- 20 prompts (paginated, 7 per page)
Each paginated list returns a `nextCursor` when more pages are available. Use this cursor in subsequent requests to retrieve the next page.
## Example
Using the MCP client, you can retrieve paginated items like this using the STDIO transport:
```python
import asyncio
from mcp.client.session import ClientSession
from mcp.client.stdio import StdioServerParameters, stdio_client
async def main():
async with stdio_client(
StdioServerParameters(command="uv", args=["run", "mcp-simple-pagination"])
) as (read, write):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
await session.initialize()
# Get first page of tools
tools_page1 = await session.list_tools()
print(f"First page: {len(tools_page1.tools)} tools")
print(f"Next cursor: {tools_page1.nextCursor}")
# Get second page using cursor
if tools_page1.nextCursor:
tools_page2 = await session.list_tools(cursor=tools_page1.nextCursor)
print(f"Second page: {len(tools_page2.tools)} tools")
# Similarly for resources
resources_page1 = await session.list_resources()
print(f"First page: {len(resources_page1.resources)} resources")
# And for prompts
prompts_page1 = await session.list_prompts()
print(f"First page: {len(prompts_page1.prompts)} prompts")
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Pagination Details
The server uses simple numeric indices as cursors for demonstration purposes. In production scenarios, you might use:
- Database offsets or row IDs
- Timestamps for time-based pagination
- Opaque tokens encoding pagination state
The pagination implementation demonstrates:
- Handling `None` cursor for the first page
- Returning `nextCursor` when more data exists
- Gracefully handling invalid cursors
- Different page sizes for different resource types
