Build and Deploy a Remote MCP Server to GKE in 30 Minutes

Math MCP server

Large language models are excellent at non-deterministic tasks, such as generating text, summarizing ideas, and reasoning about concepts. However, they can be unreliable for deterministic tasks like math operations. To solve this, developers can create tools that provide valuable context. Using FastMCP, a framework for building MCP servers in Python, it is possible to create a simple math server with two tools: add and subtract.

First, add FastMCP as a dependency.
