create_mcp_server
Generate new MCP servers from specifications using templates for Python, Gradio, or TypeScript with built-in error handling and proper SDK patterns.
Instructions
Create a new MCP server based on specifications.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- AI sampling (ctx.sample) is not currently supported in Claude Desktop
- Use modern typing: dict, list, str | None instead of Dict, List, Optional
- Generated servers include proper process cleanup and error handling
- All generated code uses working MCP SDK patterns
Args:
name: Name of the MCP server (must be valid Python identifier)
description: Description of what the server does

template_type: Type of template (basic, fastmcp_server)
features: list of features to include (tools, resources, prompts)
output_dir: Output directory (defaults to configured default)
Returns:
Status message with creation details and next steps

Implementation Reference
- main.py:82-131 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'create_mcp_server' tool. It is registered via the @mcp.tool() decorator and delegates the server creation to the ServerGenerator instance from the application lifespan context. Includes input parameters with type hints serving as the schema, comprehensive docstring, error handling, and logging.@mcp.tool() async def create_mcp_server( ctx: Context, name: str, description: str, language: str = "python", template_type: str = "basic", features: list[str] | None = None, output_dir: str | None = None, ) -> str: """ Create a new MCP server based on specifications.
