Using cURL

Initialize a session:

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" 
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl-client","version":"1.0.0"}},"id":1}' 
     http://localhost:8000/mcp

Send “initialized” notification (using the session ID from the response headers):

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" 
     -H "mcp-session-id: YOUR_SESSION_ID" 
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialized","params":{}}' 
     http://localhost:8000/mcp

List available tools:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" 
     -H "mcp-session-id: YOUR_SESSION_ID" 
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","params":{},"id":2}' 
     http://localhost:8000/mcp

Call the echo tool:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" 
     -H "mcp-session-id: YOUR_SESSION_ID" 
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"echo","input":{"message":"hello"}},"id":3}' 
     http://localhost:8000/mcp
