Performance Optimization
Learn how to optimize your MCP servers and clients for high performance and scalability.
Caching Strategies
Tool Result Caching
php
class CachingServer
{
private array $cache = [];
private int $ttl = 300;
public function cachedTool(string $name, array $params, callable $handler): array
{
$cacheKey = md5($name . json_encode($params));
if (isset($this->cache[$cacheKey])) {
$cached = $this->cache[$cacheKey];
if (time() - $cached['timestamp'] < $this->ttl) {
return $cached['result'];
}
}
$result = $handler($params);
$this->cache[$cacheKey] = [
'result' => $result,
'timestamp' => time()
];
return $result;
}
}Async Optimization
Parallel Operations
php
async(function () use ($client) {
// Execute tools in parallel
$promises = [
$client->callTool('tool1', $params1),
$client->callTool('tool2', $params2),
$client->callTool('tool3', $params3)
];
$results = Promise::all($promises)->await();
})->await();Memory Management
Streaming Large Responses
php
function streamLargeResource(string $filePath): \Generator
{
$handle = fopen($filePath, 'r');
while (!feof($handle)) {
yield fread($handle, 8192); // Read in 8KB chunks
}
fclose($handle);
}
