+# Calculator Rust Binary Example
+
+Demonstrates packaging a compiled Rust binary as an MCP Bundle using the `binary` server type. Based on the [official Rust MCP SDK calculator example](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/tree/main/examples/servers).
+
+## What is Binary Server Type?
+
+Unlike `node` or `uv` server types where the source code is bundled and executed by a runtime, the `binary` server type packages a pre-compiled native executable. This is useful for:
+
+- Rust, Go, C/C++ MCP servers
+- Performance-sensitive workloads
+- Servers with no runtime dependencies
+
+The tradeoff is that binaries are platform-specific — you need a separate build for each target OS/architecture.
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+calculator-rust/
+├── manifest.json       # server.type = "binary"
+├── Cargo.toml          # Rust project
+├── .mcpbignore         # Exclude source from bundle
+└── src/
+    └── main.rs         # Calculator MCP server (~80 LOC)
+```
+
+After building, the `server/` directory is created with the compiled binary.
+
+## Building
+
+Requires [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) 1.85+.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/calculator-rust
+cargo build --release
+mkdir -p server
+cp target/release/mcp-calculator server/
+```
+
+## Packing
+
+```bash
+mcpb pack examples/calculator-rust
+```
+
+The `.mcpbignore` file excludes source code and build artifacts — only `manifest.json` and `server/mcp-calculator` end up in the bundle.
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# MCP protocol handshake
+echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' \
+  | ./server/mcp-calculator
+
+# Tool call
+(printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}\n'
+printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}\n'
+printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"sum","arguments":{"a":3,"b":4}}}\n'
+sleep 1) | ./server/mcp-calculator
+```
+
+Expected: `sum(3, 4)` returns `{"text":"7"}`.
+
+## Tools
+
+- **sum** — Calculate the sum of two numbers
+- **sub** — Calculate the difference of two numbers
+
+## Notes
+
+- Binary size: ~2.5 MB (stripped, LTO enabled)
+- The `Cargo.toml` uses `edition = "2024"` (Rust 1.85+)
+- Logs are written to stderr via `tracing`, so they don't interfere with MCP's stdio transport
+- Uses the [rmcp](https://crates.io/crates/rmcp) crate (official Rust MCP SDK)
