MicroMcp is a tiny framework for building MCP servers in Ruby. It ships with a Rust extension that handles the low level protocol while your Ruby code focuses on registering tools.
The gem is available on RubyGems.
Add the gem to your application's Gemfile:
gem "micro_mcp"
Then execute:
bundle install
Or install it directly with RubyGems:
gem install micro_mcp
Define one or more tools and start the server:
require "micro_mcp"
MicroMcp::ToolRegistry.register_tool(name: "say_hello") do
"Hello World!"
end
# Tools can also accept arguments defined using JSON Schema.
# The arguments hash is provided as the first block parameter.
MicroMcp::ToolRegistry.register_tool(
name: "add_numbers",
description: "Adds two integers",
arguments: {
"type" => "object",
"properties" => {
"a" => {"type" => "integer"},
"b" => {"type" => "integer"}
},
"required" => ["a", "b"]
}
) do |args, _runtime|
(args["a"] + args["b"]).to_s
end
MicroMcp.start_server
