FastMCP Name Server

A simple FastMCP server that takes a name as input and provides various name-related operations.

Features

• get_name: Takes a name and returns a greeting message
• print_name: Takes a name and prints it to console
• format_name: Formats a name in different ways (uppercase, lowercase, title, reverse)

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Clone or download this project

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd fastmcp-name-project

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Server

To start the FastMCP server:

python server.py

The server will start and be ready to accept MCP connections.

Usage

The server provides three main tools:

1. get_name

• Input: name (string)
• Output: A greeting message with the provided name
• Example: Input "Alice" → Output "Hello, Alice! Nice to meet you."

2. print_name

• Input: name (string)
• Output: Prints the name to console and returns confirmation
• Example: Input "Bob" → Prints "Name received: Bob" and returns "Successfully printed: Bob"

3. format_name

• Input:
  • name (string) - The name to format
  • format_type (string, optional) - Format type: "uppercase", "lowercase", "title", "reverse"
• Output: The formatted name
• Examples:
  • Input "john", "uppercase" → Output "JOHN"
  • Input "MARY", "lowercase" → Output "mary"
  • Input "alice smith", "title" → Output "Alice Smith"
  • Input "hello", "reverse" → Output "olleh"

Development

To modify the server:

1. Edit server.py to add new tools or modify existing ones
2. Each tool is defined using the @mcp.tool() decorator
3. Tools can accept parameters with type hints
4. Tools should be async functions that return strings

Example Tool Definition

@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool(input_param: str) -> str:
    """
    Description of what the tool does.
    
    Args:
        input_param: Description of the parameter
        
    Returns:
        Description of the return value
    """
    return f"Processed: {input_param}"

Troubleshooting

• Make sure Python 3.8+ is installed
• Ensure all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Check that the server starts without errors
• Verify MCP client can connect to the server
