+# ZeroMCP — Ruby
+
+Drop a `.rb` file in a folder, get a sandboxed MCP server. Stdio out of the box, zero dependencies.
+
+## Getting started
+
+```ruby
+# tools/hello.rb — this is a complete MCP server
+tool description: "Say hello to someone",
+     input: { name: "string" }
+
+execute do |args, ctx|
+  "Hello, #{args['name']}!"
+end
+```
+
+```sh
+ruby -I lib bin/zeromcp serve ./tools
+```
+
+That's it. Stdio works immediately. Drop another `.rb` file to add another tool. Delete a file to remove one.
+
+## vs. the official SDK
+
+The official Ruby SDK requires server setup, transport configuration, and explicit tool registration. ZeroMCP is file-based — each tool is its own file, discovered automatically. Zero external dependencies.
+
+In benchmarks, ZeroMCP Ruby handles 15,327 requests/second over stdio versus the official SDK's 12,935 — 1.2x faster with 50% less memory (12 MB vs 24 MB). Over HTTP (Rack+Puma), ZeroMCP serves 3,217 rps at 26 MB versus the official SDK's 2,163 rps at 49–56 MB. The official SDK crashed on binary garbage input and corrupted responses under slow tools in chaos testing. ZeroMCP survived 22/22 attacks.
+
+The official SDK has **no sandbox**. ZeroMCP lets tools declare network, filesystem, and exec permissions.
+
+Ruby passes all 10 conformance suites.
+
+## HTTP / Streamable HTTP
+
+ZeroMCP doesn't own the HTTP layer. You bring your own framework; ZeroMCP gives you a `handle_request` method that takes a Hash and returns a Hash (or `nil` for notifications).
+
+```ruby
+# response = server.handle_request(request)
+```
+
+**Sinatra**
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra'
+require 'json'
+
+post '/mcp' do
+  request_body = JSON.parse(request.body.read)
+  response = server.handle_request(request_body)
+
+  if response.nil?
+    status 204
+  else
+    content_type :json
+    response.to_json
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Ruby 3.0+
+- No external dependencies
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+gem build zeromcp.gemspec
+gem install zeromcp-0.1.0.gem
+```
+
+## Sandbox
+
+```ruby
+tool description: "Fetch from our API",
+     input: { url: "string" },
+     permissions: {
+       network: ["api.example.com", "*.internal.dev"],
+       fs: false,
+       exec: false
+     }
+
+execute do |args, ctx|
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Directory structure
+
+Tools are discovered recursively. Subdirectory names become namespace prefixes:
+
+```
+tools/
+  hello.rb          -> tool "hello"
+  math/
+    add.rb          -> tool "math_add"
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```sh
+ruby -I lib -I test -e 'Dir["test/**/*_test.rb"].each { |f| require_relative f }'
+```
