Full WebSocket support with automatic reconnection, exponential backoff, and keepalive ping/pong.
HTTP transport with Server-Sent Events for real-time notifications and long-polling support.
Native support for model sampling operations with the createMessage API:
let result = client.create_message(CreateMessageRequest {
messages: vec![SamplingMessage {
role: Role::User,
content: Content::Text { text: "Hello!".to_string() },
}],
..Default::default()
}).await?;Powerful middleware chain for request/response processing:
use pmcp::{MiddlewareChain, LoggingMiddleware, AuthMiddleware};
let mut chain = MiddlewareChain::new();
chain.add(Arc::new(LoggingMiddleware::default()));
chain.add(Arc::new(AuthMiddleware::new("token".to_string())));Optimize notification delivery with batching and debouncing:
use pmcp::{MessageBatcher, BatchingConfig};
let batcher = MessageBatcher::new(BatchingConfig {
max_batch_size: 10,
max_wait_time: Duration::from_millis(100),
..Default::default()
});use pmcp::{Client, StdioTransport, ClientCapabilities};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create client with stdio transport
let transport = StdioTransport::new();
let mut client = Client::new(transport);
// Initialize connection
let server_info = client.initialize(ClientCapabilities::default()).await?;
println!("Connected to: {}", server_info.server_info.name);
// List available tools
let tools = client.list_tools(None).await?;
for tool in tools.tools {
println!("Tool: {} - {:?}", tool.name, tool.description);
}
// Call a tool
let result = client.call_tool("get-weather", serde_json::json!({
"location": "San Francisco"
})).await?;
Ok(())
}use pmcp::{Server, ServerCapabilities, ToolHandler};
use async_trait::async_trait;
use serde_json::Value;
struct WeatherTool;
#[async_trait]
impl ToolHandler for WeatherTool {
async fn handle(&self, args: Value) -> pmcp::Result<Value> {
let location = args["location"].as_str()
.ok_or_else(|| pmcp::Error::validation("location required"))?;
// Implement weather fetching logic
Ok(serde_json::json!({
"temperature": 72,
"condition": "sunny",
"location": location
}))
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let server = Server::builder()
.name("weather-server")
.version("1.0.0")
.capabilities(ServerCapabilities::tools_only())
.tool("get-weather", WeatherTool)
.build()?;
// Run with stdio transport
server.run_stdio().await?;
Ok(())
}let transport = StdioTransport::new();use pmcp::{HttpTransport, HttpConfig};
let config = HttpConfig {
base_url: "http://localhost:8080".parse()?,
sse_endpoint: Some("/events".to_string()),
..Default::default()
};
let transport = HttpTransport::new(config);use pmcp::{WebSocketTransport, WebSocketConfig};
let config = WebSocketConfig {
url: "ws://localhost:8080".parse()?,
