MCP-RS Documentation

Model Context Protocol implementation in Rust - Production Ready

Overview

🚀 Production-Ready Rust implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI-agent integration with WordPress and beyond.

MCP-RS provides a comprehensive, battle-tested implementation of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) in Rust with complete WordPress integration. Built with a layered architecture, it enables AI agents to perform sophisticated content management through a standardized JSON-RPC interface.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Installation

    
mcp-rs = "0.1.0"

  2. Basic Usage

    
    server::McpServer,
    config::Config,
    handlers::wordpress::WordPressHandler
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Load configuration
    let config = Config::load("mcp-config.toml")?;

    // Create server
    let mut server = McpServer::new();

    // Add WordPress handler if configured
    if let Some(wp_config) = config.wordpress {
        let handler = WordPressHandler::new(wp_config);
        server.add_handler("wordpress", Box::new(handler));
    }

    // Start server
    server.serve(config.server.address()).await?;
    Ok(())
}

  3. Configuration

    ```toml

mcp-config.toml

[server] host = “127.0.0.1” port = 8080

[wordpress] url = “https://your-wordpress-site.com” username = “your_username” password = “your_application_password” timeout_seconds = 30
