Summary
This is a simple greeting tool that generates personalized welcome messages by name. Based on the source code provided, it appears to be built from a Python quickstart template that originally demonstrated a character counter, so the actual greeting functionality may be minimal or still in development. The description suggests it's meant for adding a warm touch to onboarding flows and demos, but without seeing the actual implementation, it's hard to say what greeting styles or customization options are available. If you need basic name personalization for user-facing interactions, this could work, though you'll want to verify what greeting templates or options it actually exposes through its tools.

Character Counter MCP Server - Python Quickstart
A simple example of creating an MCP server using FastMCP and Python, designed to work with Smithery.
What This Does
This server provides a character counter tool called count_character that counts how many times a specific character appears in a given text. You'll test it using the Smithery Playground for interactive development.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- A Python package manager (uv recommended, but pip, poetry, etc. also work)
- Node.js and npx (optional, for Smithery Playground)
Quick Start
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/smithery-ai/smithery-cookbook.git cd smithery-cookbook/servers/python/quickstart -
Install dependencies:
With uv (recommended):
uv syncWith poetry:
poetry installWith pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Run the server:
You have two options:
Option A: Just run the server
# With uv uv run smithery dev # or use the shorter script alias: uv run dev # With poetry poetry run smithery dev # or use the shorter script alias: poetry run dev # With pip (after installing dependencies) smithery devThis starts the MCP server on
http://localhost:8081and keeps it running.Option B: Run server + open playground (recommended for testing)
# With uv uv run smithery playground # or use the shorter script alias: uv run playground # With poetry poetry run smithery playground # or use the shorter script alias: poetry run playground # With pip (after installing dependencies) smithery playgroundThis starts the MCP server AND automatically opens the Smithery Playground in your browser where you can:
- Interact with your MCP server in real-time
- Test the
count_charactertool with different text and characters - See the complete request/response flow
- Debug and iterate on your MCP tools quickly
Testing the Character Counter
Try asking: "How many r's are in strawberry?"
- Deploy to Smithery:
To deploy your MCP server:
- Push your code to GitHub (make sure to include the
smithery.yaml) - Connect your repository at https://smithery.ai/new
- Push your code to GitHub (make sure to include the
Your server will be available over HTTP and ready to use with any MCP-compatible client!
Stopping the Server
Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the server.
