MCP Server (TypeScript)

A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with TypeScript.

It currently exposes one MCP tool:

• createUser: Creates a new user and appends it to src/data/users.json.

Features

• MCP server over stdio transport

• Input validation with Zod

• JSON-based data persistence for users

Project Structure

src/
  server.ts            # MCP server entrypoint and tool registration
  data/
    users.json         # Local user datastore
  types/
    user.types.ts      # User input type

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

• npm

Install

npm install

Run (Development)

npm run server:dev

Build

npm run server:build

Compiled output goes to build/.

Build Watch Mode

npm run server:build:watch

Inspect with MCP Inspector

Use the MCP Inspector to test tool calls interactively:

npm run server:inspect

Then call the createUser tool with this shape:

{
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "email": "jane.doe@example.com",
  "address": "123 Main St, Springfield, IL",
  "phone": "+1-555-555-5555"
}

Successful calls append a new user record to src/data/users.json and return the created ID.

Available Scripts

• server:dev - Run server from TypeScript source with tsx

• server:build - Compile TypeScript to build/

• server:build:watch - Compile in watch mode

• server:inspect - Launch MCP Inspector against the server

• client:dev - Reserved script in package.json (no src/client.ts file currently in this workspace)

Notes

• Data is persisted by writing directly to src/data/users.json.

• User IDs are assigned as users.length + 1.

• If you manually edit users.json, keep it valid JSON.
