How to Set Up and Use Sample Remote
The Sample Remote MCP Server is a minimal Python-based reference implementation that demonstrates how to build and deploy a remote (HTTP-accessible) MCP server. It serves as a learning template for developers who want to understand the structure of a remotely-hosted MCP server rather than a locally-spawned stdio process. This is useful for teams building shared MCP services that multiple clients can connect to over the network.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9 or later
- pip package manager
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- Basic familiarity with MCP server concepts and the Python MCP SDK
Clone the repository
Clone the sample remote MCP server repository from GitHub to get the reference implementation source code.
git clone https://github.com/campusx-official/sample-remote-mcp-server
cd sample-remote-mcp-serverInstall dependencies
Install the required Python packages for the MCP server.
pip install -r requirements.txtStart the MCP server
Run the server locally. It will listen for incoming MCP connections over HTTP on a configured port.
python server.pyConfigure your MCP client
Add the running server to your MCP client configuration. Use the URL transport type since this is a remote server rather than a local process.
{
"mcpServers": {
"sample-remote": {
"type": "url",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
}
}
}Explore and extend the implementation
Study the server source code to understand the patterns for defining tools, resources, and prompts in a remote MCP server. Use this as a starting point for your own remote MCP service.
Sample Remote Examples
Client configuration
URL-based MCP client configuration for connecting to the locally-running sample remote server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"sample-remote": {
"type": "url",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Basic prompts to verify the sample remote server is connected and responding.
- "What tools does the sample remote MCP server expose?"
- "List the available capabilities of the connected MCP server"
- "Test the connection to the remote MCP server"Troubleshooting Sample Remote
Client cannot connect to the remote server
Confirm the server is running and listening on the expected port. Check that the URL in your client config matches the actual host and port. For localhost testing, ensure no firewall is blocking the port.
Server starts but MCP client reports protocol errors
Ensure the MCP Python SDK version in requirements.txt is compatible with your client. Update both server dependencies and client to the latest stable versions of the MCP SDK.
How to deploy the sample server for multiple clients to share
Deploy the server to a cloud provider (e.g., Railway, Render, or a VPS) and update the client config URL to point to the public endpoint. Add authentication middleware if exposing the server publicly.
