- Updated October 3, 2025

Phionx MCP Hello Server is a MCP server that sends personalized greetings (with optional Pirate Mode) to verify agent MCP integrations.
About
Phionx MCP Hello Server is a deliberately small MCP surface for developers who need to confirm that Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex can reach a remote server, invoke tools, and return structured results. It belongs in Build agent-tooling: the first hop after generating API keys and editing mcp.json, before you attach databases or security scanners. Personalized greetings and Pirate Mode make failures obvious and successes memorable during onboarding tutorials or custom skill development. Version 1.16.0 is published on Smithery with source on GitHub, suitable for copying patterns into your own MCP. Beginner complexity; no production credentials beyond Smithery. It is a protocol demo, not a product feature—swap it for domain servers once connectivity is proven.
- Send personalized greetings via MCP tools
- Optional Pirate Mode for demo salutations
- Reference hello server v1.16.0 with GitHub repo
- Streamable-http Smithery remote for quick tests
- Low-risk way to validate Bearer auth and tool routing

What it does
Verify MCP wiring and tool calling with a minimal hello/greeting server including optional Pirate Mode.
Who is it for?
Best when you're bootstrapping your first Smithery remote MCP or teaching agents how to call tools.
Skip if: Production workflows that need real data APIs, security controls, or business logic beyond smoke tests.
What you get
After adding the server, you get immediate greeting tool calls that prove streamable-http MCP and Smithery auth work end to end.
