MCP Server Template 🛠️

A starter template for building your own Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This template provides the basic structure and setup needed to create custom MCPs that can be used with Cursor or Claude Desktop.

Features

  • Basic MCP server setup with TypeScript
  • Sample tool implementation
  • Ready-to-use project structure
  • Built with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

Project Structure

mcp-server-template/ ├── index.ts # Main server implementation ├── package.json # Project dependencies ├── tsconfig.json # TypeScript configuration └── build/ # Compiled JavaScript output

Getting Started

  1. Clone this template:
git clone [your-repo-url] my-mcp-server cd my-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:
pnpm install
  1. Build the project:
pnpm run build

This will generate the /build/index.js file - your compiled MCP server script.

Using with Cursor

  1. Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new MCP server
  2. Configure your MCP:
    • Name: [choose your own name]
    • Type: command
    • Command: node ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_MCP_SERVER/build/index.js

Using with Claude Desktop

Add the following MCP config to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "your-mcp-name": { "command": "node", "args": ["ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_MCP_SERVER/build/index.js"] } } }

Development

The template includes a sample tool implementation in index.ts. To create your own MCP:

  1. Modify the server configuration in index.ts:
const server = new McpServer({ name: "your-mcp-name", version: "0.0.1", });
  1. Define your custom tools using the server.tool() method:
server.tool( "your-tool-name", "Your tool description", { // Define your tool's parameters using Zod schema parameter: z.string().describe("Parameter description"), }, async ({ parameter }) => { // Implement your tool's logic here return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Your tool's response", }, ], }; } );
  1. Build and test your implementation:
npm run build
