# Microsoft MCP — Official Model Context Protocol SDK

> Microsoft MCP provides official Model Context Protocol building blocks and samples so teams wire reliable tools into agents without ad‑hoc contracts.

## Install

Merge the JSON below into your `.mcp.json`:

## Quick Use

1. Install / run:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mcp && cd mcp
   ```
2. Start / smoke test:
   ```bash
   sed -n '1,220p' README.md
   ```
3. Verify:
   - From the README, run one sample end-to-end and confirm your MCP client can list tools and call a non-destructive method.

## Intro

Microsoft MCP provides official Model Context Protocol building blocks and samples so teams wire reliable tools into agents without ad‑hoc contracts.

- **Best for:** Teams adopting MCP who want an official reference implementation and reusable patterns
- **Works with:** MCP clients + MCP servers; use the repo samples as the baseline
- **Setup time:** 15 minutes

## Practical Notes

- Setup time ~15 minutes (clone + follow the smallest sample in the README)
- Two measurable checks: tools list returns >0, and one read-only call returns structured output
- GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks

The biggest MCP pitfall is treating it as ‘just another plugin’. Make it boring: define a small set of servers, lock down credentials, and require a smoke test that proves tool calls are deterministic. Use this repo to standardize the contract before you scale to more tools.

### FAQ

**Q: What do I get from this repo?**
A: An official starting point: core components, examples, and conventions you can standardize on.

**Q: Do I need to adopt everything?**
A: No. Start with one sample, then copy only the patterns that fit your stack.

**Q: How do I keep it safe?**
A: Treat MCP servers as privileged: restrict credentials, scope permissions, and log tool calls.

## 快速使用

1. 安装 / 运行：
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mcp && cd mcp
   ```
2. 启动 / 冒烟测试：
   ```bash
   sed -n '1,220p' README.md
   ```
3. 验证：
   - 按 README 跑通一个最小示例，确认你的 MCP 客户端能列出工具并调用一个“只读/无副作用”的方法。

## 简介

Microsoft MCP 提供官方的 Model Context Protocol 组件与示例，帮助团队把“可调用工具”接入 agent，并用统一约定保持接口稳定、可维护，减少重复造轮子。

- **适合谁：** 准备采用 MCP 的团队，希望先用官方参考实现把模式跑通
- **可搭配：** 支持 MCP 的客户端 + MCP server；以仓库示例为基线
- **准备时间：** 15 分钟

## 实战建议

- 上手约 15 分钟（clone 后按 README 的最小示例跑通）
- 两项可量化验收：tools 列表数量 >0；一次只读调用返回结构化结果
- GitHub stars + forks（已核验）：见「来源与感谢」

MCP 最常见的坑是把它当成“随便接个插件”。正确做法是把它做成可控基础设施：限定少量 server、锁紧凭证、并要求可重复的冒烟测试。先用该仓库把契约标准化，再扩展更多工具。

### FAQ

**这个仓库能直接给我什么？**
A: 一套官方起步模板：核心组件、示例与约定，适合做团队统一标准。

**必须全部照搬吗？**
A: 不必。先跑通一个示例，再挑适合你技术栈的模式复用。

**怎么保证安全？**
A: 把 MCP server 当作高权限组件：收紧凭证、最小权限、并记录工具调用日志。
