# Everything MCP Server **[Architecture](docs/architecture.md) | [Project Structure](docs/structure.md) | [Startup Process](docs/startup.md) | [Server Features](docs/features.md) | [Extension Points](docs/extension.md) | [How It Works](docs/how-it-works.md)** This MCP server attempts to exercise all the features of the MCP protocol. It is not intended to be a useful server, but rather a test server for builders of MCP clients. It implements prompts, tools, resources, sampling, and more to showcase MCP capabilities. ## Tools, Resources, Prompts, and Other Features A complete list of the registered MCP primitives and other protocol features demonstrated can be found in the [Server Features](docs/features.md) document. ## Usage with Claude Desktop (uses [stdio Transport](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports#stdio)) Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "everything": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything" ] } } } ``` ## Usage with VS Code For quick installation, use of of the one-click install buttons below...

Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P`) and run `MCP: Open User Configuration`. This will open your user `mcp.json` file where you can add the server configuration. **Method 2: Workspace Configuration** Alternatively, you can add the configuration to a file called `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others. > For more details about MCP configuration in VS Code, see the [official VS Code MCP documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers). #### NPX ```json { "servers": { "everything": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"] } } } ``` ## Running from source with [HTTP+SSE Transport](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/basic/transports#http-with-sse) (deprecated as of [2025-03-26](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports)) ```shell cd src/everything npm install npm run start:sse ``` ## Run from source with [Streamable HTTP Transport](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports#streamable-http) ```shell cd src/everything npm install npm run start:streamableHttp ``` ## Running as an installed package ### Install ```shell npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything@latest ```` ### Run the default (stdio) server ```shell npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything ``` ### Or specify stdio explicitly ```shell npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything stdio ``` ### Run the SSE server ```shell npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything sse ``` ### Run the streamable HTTP server ```shell npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything streamableHttp ``` --- ## Fidensa Certification This file has been independently certified by [Fidensa](https://fidensa.com), an AI capability certification authority.
