## Installation

```bash
cargo build --release

Usage

Stdio Transport

cargo run

SSE Transport

cargo run --features http -- --transport sse

HTTP Transport

cargo run --features http -- --transport http

Configuration

Configure in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "{project-name}": {
      "command": "path/to/target/release/{project-name}",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Tools

• {tool_name}: {Tool description}

Development

Run tests:

cargo test

Run with logging:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run

Implementation Guidelines

1. Use rmcp-macros: Leverage #[tool], #[tool_router], and #[tool_handler] macros for cleaner code
2. Type Safety: Use schemars::JsonSchema for all parameter types
3. Error Handling: Return Result types with proper error messages
4. Async/Await: All handlers must be async
5. State Management: Use Arc<RwLock<T>> for shared state
6. Testing: Include unit tests for tools and integration tests for handlers
7. Logging: Use tracing macros (info!, debug!, warn!, error!)
8. Documentation: Add doc comments to all public items

Example Tool Patterns

Simple Read-Only Tool

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct GreetParams {
    pub name: String,
}

#[tool(
    name = "greet",
    description = "Greets a user by name",
    annotations(read_only_hint = true, idempotent_hint = true)
)]
async fn greet(params: Parameters<GreetParams>) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {}!", params.inner().name)
}

Tool with Error Handling

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct DivideParams {
    pub a: f64,
    pub b: f64,
}

#[tool(name = "divide", description = "Divides two numbers")]
async fn divide(params: Parameters<DivideParams>) -> Result<f64, String> {
    let p = params.inner();
    if p.b == 0.0 {
        Err("Cannot divide by zero".to_string())
    } else {
        Ok(p.a / p.b)
    }
}

Tool with State

#[tool(
    name = "increment",
    description = "Increments the counter",
    annotations(destructive_hint = true)
)]
async fn increment(state: &ServerState) -> i32 {
    state.increment().await
}

Running the Generated Server

After generation:

cd {project-name}
cargo build
cargo test
cargo run

For Claude Desktop integration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "{project-name}": {
      "command": "path/to/{project-name}/target/release/{project-name}",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Now generate the complete project based on the user's requirements!
