MCP Server: Notes Manager (TypeScript Starter)

A simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that manages notes. This is the companion repository for the Gheware DevOps AI YouTube tutorial: "Build Your Own MCP Server (TypeScript)".

What You'll Learn

  • How to create an MCP server from scratch

  • Implementing TOOLs (operations AI can perform)

  • Implementing RESOURCEs (data AI can read)

  • Testing with Claude Desktop and MCP Inspector

Features

Tools (AI Operations)

Tool

Description

add_note

Create a new note with title, content, and tags

list_notes

List all notes with IDs and titles

search_notes

Search notes by title, content, or tags

delete_note

Delete a note by ID

Resources (AI Data Access)

URI

Description

notes://list

JSON list of all notes

notes://note/{id}

Individual note by ID

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+

  • npm or yarn

  • Claude Desktop (for testing)

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/brainupgrade-in/mcp-server-typescript-starter.git cd mcp-server-typescript-starter # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build

Test with MCP Inspector

npm run inspector

This opens a browser-based inspector to test your tools and resources.

Configure Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "notes": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-typescript-starter/dist/index.js"] } } }

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Usage Examples

Once connected to Claude Desktop, try these prompts:

"Add a note about Docker networking with tags devops and docker" "List all my notes" "Search for notes about devops" "Delete the welcome note"

Code Walkthrough

1. Server Setup

const server = new Server( { name: "notes-manager", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: { tools: {}, resources: {} } } );

2. Defining a Tool

server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: [{ name: "add_note", description: "Create a new note", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { title: { type: "string", description: "Note title" }, content: { type: "string", description: "Note content" } }, required: ["title", "content"] } }] }));

3. Handling Tool Calls

server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => { const { name, arguments: args } = request.params; if (name === "add_note") { // Create the note... return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Note created!" }] }; } });

4. Exposing Resources

server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => ({ resources: [{ uri: "notes://list", name: "All Notes", mimeType: "application/json" }] }));

Next Steps

  • Add persistence (save notes to a file or database)

  • Implement Prompts (pre-defined instruction templates)

  • Add authentication for multi-user support

  • Deploy as a standalone service
