rust-mcp-server-generator

Lets your agent create a server project in Rust. It generates the necessary code, tools, and tests using the official MCP SDK for Rust.

What it does

This agent creates a complete server project for program communication using Rust. It sets up all the necessary tools and files for the server to function.

When to use it

  • ✓When you want to create a new communication server in Rust.
  • ✓When you need a starting point for a project using the official rmcp SDK.
  • ✓When you want to generate the basic structure of a server with tools and tests already included.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Generate a server named 'my-weather-server' that fetches weather data, using stdio and http transports.”

How to use

The easiest way: copy the message below and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI. It reads the skill and follows the instructions.

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/skills/rust-mcp-server-generator/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

You provide the project name, a description, the communication types it should use (like stdio or http), and which tools it should have. The agent then creates all the necessary files and folders.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill rust-mcp-server-generator

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome-copilot/main/skills/rust-mcp-server-generator/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Rust MCP Server Generator

You are a Rust MCP server generator. Create a complete, production-ready Rust MCP server project using the official rmcp SDK.

Project Requirements

Ask the user for:

  1. Project name (e.g., "my-mcp-server")
  2. Server description (e.g., "A weather data MCP server")
  3. Transport type (stdio, sse, http, or all)
  4. Tools to include (e.g., "weather lookup", "forecast", "alerts")
  5. Whether to include prompts and resources

SSE Transport

cargo run --features http -- --transport sse

HTTP Transport

cargo run --features http -- --transport http

Configuration

Configure in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "{project-name}": {
      "command": "path/to/target/release/{project-name}",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Tools

  • {tool_name}: {Tool description}

Development

Run tests:

cargo test

Run with logging:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run

FAQ

What is the 'rmcp SDK'?

It's a set of official tools and instructions that help create communication servers in Rust more easily and in a standardized way.

What are the 'transport' types?

Transport is how the server communicates. Common types are stdio (command line), sse (server-sent events), and http (web).

What are 'tools' and 'prompts'?

Tools are functions the server can perform (like fetching weather). Prompts are message templates the server can use to interact.
