Sample Serverless — Model Context Protocol server
README
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 Streamable HTTP protocol and deploy it via Amazon Lambda. The implementation leverages new features introduced in MCP v2025.03.26, including:
Stream transmission based on HTTP Chunked Transfer Encoding
Dynamic context priority control
Seamless integration with existing HTTP infrastructure
Key Features
Streamable HTTP MCP protocol support
Elastic deployment based on Amazon Lambda
Optimized cost-performance balance
MCP Server on Amazon Lambda Architecture

Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- AWS CLI configured
- OSS-Serverless CLI
Serverless Streamable HTTP MCP Server
- Github MCP Server
How to deploy Github MCP Server on Amazon Lambda :
This project needs to set up a GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, which has been stored in Amazon Lambda environment variables.
Never submit your serverless.yml to a GitHub public repository.
# Clone repository
git clone https://gitlab.aws.dev/wsuam/sample-serverless-mcp-server.git
cd sample-serverless-mcp-server/src/github/
# Install dependencies
npm install
npm install -g osls
#Set your github personal access token in serverless.yml
cp serverless.example.yml serverless.yml
#edit serverless.yml , GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN: <Your GitHub Personal Access Token>
# Test local
npm sls offline
# Deploy to AWS Lambda
npm sls deploy
Architecture Overview
The project utilizes the following architecture:
API Gateway: Handles HTTP requests
Lambda: Executes MCP Server logic
Streamable HTTP: Implements streaming responses
DynamoDB and S3 store request logs (this part is not ready yet).
Development Guide
- Configure AWS credentials
- Run
npm sls offline - Follow the prompts to complete deployment configuration
