A straightforward greeting generator that takes a name and tone as inputs and returns a personalized message. Built as a learning example with the Smithery CLI, it demonstrates the basics of creating an MCP server with a single tool. The source shows this is essentially a "hello world" implementation (the example in the docs is literally "Say hello to John"), so think of it as a template for building your own custom greeting or message generation tools rather than a production-ready solution. Useful if you're prototyping conversational features or want to see how to structure a simple MCP server that processes text inputs and returns formatted responses.
An MCP server built with Smithery CLI
Run the server:
uv run dev
Test interactively:
uv run playground
Try saying "Say hello to John" to test the example tool.
Your server code is in src/hello_server/server.py. Add or update your server capabilities there.
