Build MCP Server from Scratch with FastAPI — No SDK, No Magic, Just the Protocol

Description

🚀 Build an MCP server completely from scratch using FastAPI — no SDKs, no decorators, and no hidden magic. In this video, I break down how the MCP protocol actually works under the hood and show you how to implement the entire flow yourself using nothing but Python and FastAPI. You’ll learn how to create your own MCP server that GitHub Copilot (and any MCP‑compatible client) can talk to, including: - How the MCP protocol works internally - How to build the manifest, tools list, and execution endpoints - How to dispatch tools dynamically - How to handle requests and parse arguments - How to add streaming support using pure FastAPI - How to build a fully functional MCP server without using any MCP libraries This is the cleanest, most transparent way to understand MCP — perfect for developers who want to learn the protocol itself instead of relying on abstractions. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more tutorials on Azure, AI agents, and cloud-native development. 📌You can support me here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/shwetalodha 📌Article link: https://medium.com/@shweta-lodha/deploy-and-run-your-mcp-server-on-azure-app-service-in-minutes-570a7bd59169 🎉 ................
