Overview
ExMCP Test Server is a test implementation of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built in Elixir. It allows developers to experiment with the MCP protocol and provides a JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant interface.
To use the server, you need to run it locally using the command: sh mix run --no-halt To generate a release for the server, use the command: sh mix release and configure it in your claude_desktop_config.json.
- JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant server implementation - Supports standard MCP protocol methods - Pluggable validation and middleware pipeline - Schema-driven request/response validation - OpenRPC specification included
- Testing MCP protocol interactions
- Developing applications using the MCP protocol
- Validating requests and responses for MCP servers

Use these steps to connect ExMCP Test Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ex-mcp-test-y86": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ex-mcp-test-y86"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ex-mcp-test-y86": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ex-mcp-test-y86"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ex-mcp-test-y86": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ex-mcp-test-y86"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{

"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-ex-mcp-test-y86"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
