MCP Boilerplate

# FastMCP Boilerplate (punkpeye) **Repository**: https://github.com/punkpeye/fastmcp-boilerplate ## Overview A simple MCP server built using FastMCP, TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier. This is a well-structured starting point for new MCP projects with emphasis on developer experience and code quality. ## Tech Stack - **TypeScript** - Type-safe development - **ESLint** - Code linting - **Prettier** - Code formatting - **FastMCP** - Custom MCP framework - **GitHub Actions** - CI/CD pipeline ## Project Structure ``` /src/ # Main source code directory /.github/workflows/ # CI/CD configuration eslint.config.ts # ESLint configuration tsconfig.json # TypeScript configuration package.json # Dependencies and scripts ``` ## Key Features - ✅ Preconfigured development environment - ✅ Automated testing setup - ✅ Linting and code formatting - ✅ Semantic versioning and release workflow - ✅ CLI interaction capabilities - ✅ GitHub Actions workflow with automated NPM publishing ## Implementation Patterns - **Modular Setup**: Clean separation of concerns - **Developer Experience Focus**: Emphasis on tooling and productivity - **Automated Quality Checks**: ESLint + Prettier + TypeScript ESLint - **Simplified Server Initialization**: Streamlined MCP server setup ## Dependencies - Prettier, ESLint, TypeScript ESLint for code quality - Semantic Release for automated package publishing - Testing framework (integrated but not explicitly specified) ## Unique Approaches - **Testing Philosophy**: Focus on "testing the tools you implement" rather than the MCP server itself - **CI/CD Integration**: Comprehensive GitHub Actions workflow - **Fork-Ready**: Explicitly designed as a starting template ## Recommended Use Cases - New MCP server projects requiring robust tooling - Teams prioritizing code quality and automated workflows - Projects needing semantic versioning and automated publishing ## Key Quote > "If you are starting a new project, you may want to fork fastmcp-boilerplate and start from there." ## Analysis This boilerplate excels in providing a production-ready foundation with emphasis on developer productivity and automated workflows. It's particularly valuable for teams that want to start with best practices already in place.
