by Syndicats

MCP Project Initializer

An intelligent MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that automates the setup of new AI-powered MCP server development projects. This tool acts as a conversational guide through any standard MCP client to set up projects with necessary context, rules, and documentation for AI-assisted development.

Features

  • πŸ€– Conversational Project Setup - Interactive step-by-step project initialization

  • πŸ“‹ AI-Enhanced PRD Generation - Transform basic concepts into comprehensive specifications

  • πŸ”§ Technology-Specific Context - Automatically downloads SDK documentation and best practices

  • πŸ“š Development Rules Integration - Includes coding standards and AI-optimized guidelines

  • 🎯 Context-Based Development - Prepares projects for AI agents to implement with creativity

  • πŸ›‘οΈ MCP Protocol Compliant - Full compatibility with MCP clients and standards

Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone <repository-url> cd mcp-initializer # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build

Using with MCP Clients

Windsurf IDE Configuration

Add this server to your Windsurf MCP settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-project-initializer": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mcp-initializer/build/index.js"], "description": "AI-powered project initialization server" } } }

Generic MCP Client Configuration

For any MCP client that supports STDIO transport:

{ "name": "mcp-project-initializer", "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mcp-initializer/build/index.js"], "transport": "stdio" }

Usage

Starting a New Project

  1. Start the conversation: Use the start_mcp_project tool

  2. Set project name: Use set_project_name with your desired project name

  3. Choose directory: Use set_project_directory with an absolute path

  4. Select technology: Use set_project_technology (typescript or python)

  5. Provide concept: Use set_project_description with a high-level overview

  6. Add documentation (optional): Use add_project_documentation for additional context

  7. Setup foundation: Use setup_project_foundation to create the project structure

  8. Generate context: Use generate_mcp_server to prepare for AI implementation

Example Conversation Flow

User: Use start_mcp_project AI: πŸš€ Welcome! I'll help you create a new MCP Server project... User: Use set_project_name with "task-manager-mcp" AI: βœ… Great! Project name set to: task-manager-mcp... User: Use set_project_directory with "/Users/yourname/Projects" AI: βœ… Perfect! Project directory set... User: Use set_project_technology with "typescript" AI: βœ… Excellent! Technology set to: typescript... User: Use set_project_description with "Help users manage daily tasks with reminders" AI: βœ… Perfect! Description captured... User: Use setup_project_foundation AI: πŸš€ Setting up project foundation... βœ“ Downloaded essential MCP documentation... User: Use generate_mcp_server AI: πŸŽ‰ Your Project is Ready for AI Implementation!
