MCP-Wait

A simple MCP server that provides waiting functionality to pause until other tasks finish.

Features

• Wait for a specified number of seconds
• Progress reporting during waiting
• Simple to use via CLI or as an HTTP server with SSE

Installation

npm install

Usage

CLI Testing

Test the server directly using the FastMCP CLI:

npm run dev

This will start the server and let you interact with it through the CLI.

Inspect with MCP Inspector

Inspect the server using the MCP Inspector web UI:

npm run inspect

Start as SSE Server

Start the server with SSE support for integrating with other applications:

TRANSPORT_TYPE=sse PORT=8080 npm start

Wait Tool

The server provides a simple wait tool that accepts a seconds parameter:

• seconds: The number of seconds to wait (0-300)

Example:

{
  "seconds": 5
}

This will wait for 5 seconds and report progress during the wait.
