# sample-serverless-mcp-server A Github MCP Server implementation based on Amazon Lambda and Streamable HTTP protocol. ## Project Description This
Sample MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Sample directly instead of describing what you should do. # sample-serverless-mcp-server A Github MCP Server implementation based on Amazon Lambda and Streamable HTTP protocol. ## Project Description This project demonstrates how to transform the official TypeScript MCP Server to support.
Once Sample is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
OSS — Serverless CLILambda — Executes MCP Server logicPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
npm on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Sample's toolset — OSS, Lambda, Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aws-samples; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
