The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with three basic tools: echo, add numbers, and get timestamp.
Supports both stdio and HTTP/WebSocket transport modes for flexible deployment options.

Deploy to AWS EC2 with automated setup using AWS CloudShell. See AWS_DEPLOYMENT.md for detailed instructions.
Quick Start:
# From AWS CloudShell
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joeleesuh/mcp-simple-server/main/scripts/deploy-to-ec2.sh
chmod +x deploy-to-ec2.sh
./deploy-to-ec2.shIncludes:
After deployment, access the server at:
http://<PUBLIC_IP>:3000/health - Health checkhttp://<PUBLIC_IP>:3000/ - Server infows://<PUBLIC_IP>:3000/ - WebSocket endpointThis project is configured for deployment on Smithery.ai with:
Dockerfile - Multi-stage Docker build for optimized container imagesmithery.yaml - Smithery configuration for stdio-based MCP server.dockerignore - Excludes unnecessary files from Docker builddocker build -t mcp-simple-server . git add .
git commit -m "Add Smithery deployment configuration"
git pushmcp-simple-server repositoryDockerfile and smithery.yamlnpx @smithery/cli install <your-server-name>After deployment, add this to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
