rust-mcp-development — GitHub Copilot plugin: MCP servers in Rust

Q: How do I install rust-mcp-development in GitHub Copilot?

Through Copilot CLI: `copilot plugin install rust-mcp-development@awesome-copilot`.

A GitHub Copilot plugin for building Model Context Protocol servers in Rust with the official rmcp SDK. Useful when you need your own server for AI agents.

What rust-mcp-development does

Two pieces ship inside. The slash command /rust-mcp-development:rust-mcp-server-generator scaffolds a full Rust MCP server project: tools, prompts, resources and tests, all on the official rmcp SDK. The rust-mcp-expert subagent is there for talking through server code and tokio async details.

The generator leans on procedural macros and type-safe implementations, so you get a project structure that runs, not a sketch. Async runtime is tokio, which means the server is built for concurrent request handling.

Worth installing if you already write Rust and need an MCP server for a specific job. Without Rust in the project the generator just adds a layer you have to maintain, and the command won't teach you the language.

What it helps with

scaffold a Rust MCP server with tools and resources
add tests to an rmcp server project
figure out async request handling on tokio
wire prompts and resources into one MCP server
get a typed server example instead of assembling one by hand

Example prompts for the agent

generate a Rust MCP server with a file search tool
/rust-mcp-development:rust-mcp-server-generator
help me finish the resources and tests in my rmcp server
