Module 02 of 8~16 minAccount
Your First FastMCP Server, Authored From Scratch
Build a real Python MCP server with FastMCP: define a tool, run it over stdio, connect it to a client, and watch the agent call it. Establish the local dev loop and the seed server that grows into the capstone.
§ You will learn
- Install FastMCP and scaffold a minimal but real MCP server in Python that runs over stdio.
- Define a single tool with a typed signature and a clear docstring, and explain why those two things are what the model actually reads.
- Connect your server to a client (Claude Code or Claude Desktop) and confirm the agent discovers and calls the tool.
- Establish a tight local dev loop (edit, restart, re-test) so iterating on a server feels fast instead of mysterious.
