## What it 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.

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install rust-mcp-development@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
