# TypeScript MCP Project
This project implements a Model Context Protocol server using TypeScript.
## Getting Started
1. Build:
```bash
npm install
```
2. Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```
{
"servers": {
"binance-ts-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"/FULL_PATH_GOES_HERE/typescript_mcp"
]
}
},
"inputs": []
}
```
3. Type "what's the BTC price now" into Copilot, and you'll see it use this mcp to answer
4. Debug with ` npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node /home/presence/AndroidStudioProjects/mcp-course/typescript_mcp/src/binance_mcp.ts`
5. Optionally, publish it to npmjs.com
- `npm login`
- `npm publish`
- results: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gaborb-binancemcp
- the mcp will still run locally when using npmjs, but it will be downloaded
- remotely running MCPs would mean going along the lines of https://github.com/cloudflare/ai/tree/main/demos/remote-mcp-auth0
## Tools, resources
This project has a tool that connects to the Binance API to give the price of a given crypto symbol.
MCP resources provide easy access to files, database tables, API results, e.g. this project writes MCP activity log to a file resource.
## Dependencies
- `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`: Core MCP functionality
- `zod`: Runtime type checking
- `typescript`: Development dependency for TypeScript compilation
- `@types/node`: Type definitions for Node.js
