Integrations
The MCP server is built to run on Node.js as indicated in the prerequisites section.
Leverages TypeScript for building the MCP server with better structure and error-checking as mentioned in the 'Features' section.
MCP Server Playground
This repository is a playground for experimenting with an MCP Server built with TypeScript. It is a personalized version of the tutorial and video on building an MCP Server, and it is intended both as a learning resource and a platform to test integrations with Calude Desktop and Cursor IDE.
Background
This project is based on the material from:
The original tutorial provided a foundation which I have extended. Alongside the examples from the tutorial, I plan to add additional tools and functionalities to evolve this code into a robust playground for MCP Server experiments.
Features
- TypeScript-based server: Leveraging TypeScript for better structure and error-checking.
- Modular design: Easy to extend with new commands, features, and integrations.
- Integration-ready: Designed to work with Calude Desktop and Cursor IDE for an improved development experience.
- Expandable playground: A sandbox environment to experiment with additional tools and modifications beyond the tutorial examples.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v12 or higher)
- npm (or Yarn, based on your preference)
- TypeScript (if not installed globally)
