A simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides friendly greetings and tools.

Installation

Global Installation (Recommended)

Install Ryan as a global command so you can use it from anywhere:

# Clone and setup
git clone git@github.com:EduardoGHdez/ryan-mcp.git
cd ryan
./bin/setup

# Install globally using rake
rake install

Now you can run ryan from anywhere in your terminal! 🎉

Manual Installation

If you prefer the manual approach:

gem build ryan.gemspec
gem install ryan-1.0.0.gem

Quick Start

1. Install Ryan globally (see installation section above)

2. Test it works:

   ryan        # Starts the MCP server (Ctrl+C to stop)
   rake test   # Run tests (from project directory)
   

Configure in Cursor

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ryan": {
      "command": "ryan"
    }
  }
}

Then ask Cursor: "Hey Ryan, can you greet Alice?"
