TypeScript MCP Project

This project implements a Model Context Protocol server using TypeScript.

Getting Started

1. Build:

npm install

2. Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
	"servers": {
		"binance-ts-mcp": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": [
				"-y",
				"/FULL_PATH_GOES_HERE/typescript_mcp"
			]
		}
	},
	"inputs": []
}

3. Type "what's the BTC price now" into Copilot, and you'll see it use this mcp to answer

4. Debug with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node /home/presence/AndroidStudioProjects/mcp-course/typescript_mcp/src/binance_mcp.ts

5. Optionally, publish it to npmjs.com

• npm login

• npm publish

• results: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gaborb-binancemcp

• the mcp will still run locally when using npmjs, but it will be downloaded

• remotely running MCPs would mean going along the lines of https://github.com/cloudflare/ai/tree/main/demos/remote-mcp-auth0

Tools, resources

This project has a tool that connects to the Binance API to give the price of a given crypto symbol.
