Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
MCP WebSocket ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, install dependencies (pip install websockets mcp-sdk), then start both servers with python server.py. Clients connect to the WebSocket server at ws://localhost:8765 and send {"action": "subscribe"} to subscribe. Standard MCP requests are sent to http://localhost:8080 with a payload like {"method": "get_data"}.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

MCP WebSocket Server
This project implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with WebSocket enhancements for real-time data updates. It allows clients to make standard MCP requests while also enabling WebSocket-based subscriptions to receive push notifications when new data becomes available.
Features
- MCP Server (Port 8080): Handles standard MCP requests from clients. - WebSocket Server (Port 8765): Allows clients to subscribe for real-time updates. - Push Notifications: Sends updates to all subscribed clients when new data is available. - Async Architecture: Usesasyncio for efficient non-blocking operations.
Installation
1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/your-repo/mcp-websocket-server.git
cd mcp-websocket-server
2. Install dependencies:
pip install websockets mcp-sdk # Replace with actual MCP SDK package name
Usage
Start the Server
Run the following command to start both the MCP and WebSocket servers:python server.py
Connecting via WebSockets
Clients can connect to the WebSocket server (ws://localhost:8765) and subscribe to updates by sending:
{"action": "subscribe"}
Sending MCP Requests
MCP clients can send requests to the MCP server athttp://localhost:8080 with a payload like:
{"method": "get_data"}
The server will respond with:
{"result": "Here is your data!"}
