MCP Server TypeScript Template

# MCP Server TypeScript Template A template for creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using TypeScript. This project demonstrates how to implement a simple MCP server with custom tools. ## Overview This template implements a basic MCP server that provides tools for: - Example operation: A simple demonstration operation - Addition: A tool that adds two numbers The server uses the Model Context Protocol SDK to handle communication between AI models and external tools. ## Prerequisites - Node.js (v16 or higher) - npm or yarn ## Project Structure The project is structured as follows: ``` mcp-server-typescript-template/ ├── common/ │ ├── constant.ts # Project constants │ ├── errors.ts # Error handling utilities │ └── types.ts # Type definitions │ └── utils.ts # Utility functions ├── operations/ │ └── example-operation.ts # Implementation of example operations ├── index.ts # Main server implementation ├── package.json └── tsconfig.json ``` ## Installation Clone the repository and install dependencies: ```bash git clone <repository-url> cd mcp-server-typescript-template npm install npm run test npm run build npm run start # this will start the server for testing ``` ## Configuration MCP Client (Claude Desktop) edit your `claude_desktop_config.json` file to add the following: ```json { "mcpServers": { "example": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/mcp-server-typescript-template/dist/index.js" ] } } } ```
