DillyDallyMCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server ready for Dedalus deployment.

Setup

1. Initialize Git Repository

cd dedalus-mcp
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: Dedalus MCP server"

2. Create Remote Repository

Create a new repository on GitHub/GitLab/etc. named DillyDallyMCP, then:

git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

3. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the dedalus-mcp folder:

CONVEX_URL=https://your-deployment.convex.cloud

You can find your Convex URL in:

• The monorepo root .env.local file (if running locally)

• Your Convex dashboard

• By running npx convex dev from the monorepo root

Note: The .env.local file is gitignored and should not be committed.

4. Install Dependencies

npm install

5. Build

npm run build

Testing Locally

STDIO Mode (for MCP clients)

npm run dev:stdio

HTTP Mode (for testing/debugging)

npm run dev:http

The server will start on http://localhost:3002

Using MCP Inspector

npm run build
npm run inspector

Deployment to Dedalus

This server follows Dedalus deployment standards:

• ✅ Entry point: src/index.ts (or index.ts at root)

• ✅ TypeScript server structure

• ✅ Proper package.json configuration

Simply connect your repository to Dedalus and it will automatically detect and deploy the MCP server.
