Overview

AI-generated overview

A small remote MCP server that gives an assistant a random motivational quote and the current USD price of a cryptocurrency.

What you can do
  • Return a random motivational quote for inspiration
  • Look up the current USD price of a cryptocurrency by its id, such as bitcoin, ethereum or solana
When to use it
Useful as a lightweight demo or test server for trying MCP clients, or when you want quick quote and crypto price lookups without setting up anything locally.
Requirements
Remote endpoint over streamable HTTP; no authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. The README also describes a local Node.js version run via npm, but no package is declared in the manifest. The hosted instance is on free-tier hosting, so the first request after inactivity may take up to about 50 seconds.
Before you install
Crypto prices come from a third-party service (CoinGecko), so lookups are sent outside the server. Both tools are read-only and no credentials are requested.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open James's MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.JGPAS%2Fmcp-first-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

mcp-first-server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with the official MCP SDK, available both as a local stdio server (for Claude Desktop) and as a cloud-deployed HTTP server reachable over the network.

Live demo: https://mcp-first-server.onrender.com (note: free-tier hosting, first request after inactivity may take up to ~50s to wake the instance)

Tools

  • get_quote — returns a random motivational quote.
  • get_crypto_price — fetches the live USD price of any cryptocurrency (via CoinGecko).

Two ways to run this server

  • server.js — stdio transport, for local use with Claude Desktop or any MCP client that spawns a local process.
  • server-http.js — StreamableHTTP transport wrapped in Express, for cloud/network deployment (this is what's running at the live demo URL above). Listens on process.env.PORT.

Local setup

npm installnpm start          # runs server.js (stdio)node server-http.js  # or run the HTTP version locally

Try the live HTTP endpoint

curl -X POST https://mcp-first-server.onrender.com/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Tech
