mcp-creator

Create, build, and publish Python MCP servers to PyPI — conversationally.

Install mcp-creator, add it to your AI assistant, and it walks you through the entire process: naming your package, scaffolding a complete project, building, and publishing to PyPI.

Install

pip install mcp-creator

Setup

Add to Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-creator": { "command": "mcp-creator", "args": [] } } }

Or for Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-creator": { "command": "mcp-creator", "args": [] } } }

Tools

Tool

What it does

get_creator_profile

Load your persistent profile — setup status, project history. Called first every session.

update_creator_profile

Save setup state, usernames, and project history across sessions

check_setup

Detect what's installed (uv, git, gh, PyPI token) — only walks through missing steps

check_pypi_name

Check if a package name is available on PyPI

scaffold_server

Create a complete MCP server project from a name + description + tool definitions

add_tool

Add a new tool to an existing scaffolded project

build_package

Run uv build on the project

publish_package

Run uv publish to PyPI

setup_github

Initialize git, create a GitHub repo, and push the code

generate_launchguide

Create LAUNCHGUIDE.md for marketplace submission

How It Works

  1. Tell your AI what you want to build: "I want an MCP server that checks the weather"

  2. It checks the name: calls check_pypi_name to verify availability on PyPI

  3. It scaffolds the project: calls scaffold_server with your tool definitions — generates a complete, runnable project

  4. You fill in the logic: replace the TODO stubs in services/ with your real API calls

  5. Build & publish: build_packagepublish_package → live on PyPI

  6. Push to GitHub: setup_github creates a repo and pushes your code

  7. Submit to marketplace: generate_launchguide creates the submission file with your repo URL

What Gets Generated

For a project named my-weather-mcp with a get_weather tool:

my-weather-mcp/ ├── pyproject.toml ← hatchling build, mcp[cli] dep, CLI entry point ├── README.md ← install instructions + MCP config JSON ├── .gitignore ├── src/my_weather_mcp/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── server.py ← FastMCP + @mcp.tool() for each tool │ ├── transport.py │ ├── tools/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ └── get_weather.py │ └── services/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── get_weather_service.py ← TODO: your logic here └── tests/ ├── test_server.py └── test_get_weather.py

The generated server runs immediately — stub services return placeholder data so you can test before implementing real logic.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+

  • uv (for building and publishing)

Development

git clone https://github.com/gmoneyn/mcp-creator.git cd mcp-creator uv venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install -e ".[dev]" pytest -v
