MCP TypeScript Simple Template

Integrations

  • Provides the runtime environment for the MCP server, enabling server-side execution of the tools and communication via standard I/O.

  • Supports package management for the MCP server, allowing easy installation of dependencies and execution of build scripts.

  • Serves as the foundation for building custom MCP tools, providing type safety and structure for implementing tools that can be integrated with AI systems.

MCP TypeScript Simple Template

A simple TypeScript template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This project provides a foundation for creating custom MCP tools that can be integrated with AI systems.

Overview

This template implements a basic MCP server with a sample BMI calculator tool. It demonstrates how to:

  • Set up an MCP server in TypeScript
  • Define and implement MCP tools with input validation using Zod
  • Connect the server to standard I/O for communication

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v20 or higher recommended)
  • npm or yarn

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Install dependencies:
npm install

Project Structure

  • index.ts - Main server implementation with sample tool
  • package.json - Project dependencies and scripts
  • tsconfig.json - TypeScript configuration

Usage

Building and Running

Build and start the server:

npm start

This will compile the TypeScript code and start the MCP server.

Development

For development, you can:

  1. Modify index.ts to add your own tools
  2. Run the build command to compile:
npm run build

Creating Custom Tools

To create a new tool, follow this pattern in index.ts:

server.tool( "your-tool-name", { // Define input schema using Zod paramName: z.string(), // Add more parameters as needed }, async ({ paramName }) => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: "Your tool's response" }] }) );

Dependencies

  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk - Core MCP SDK
  • zod - Schema validation
  • dotenv - Environment variable management
  • typescript - TypeScript compiler
