# 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
