hello-world

A minimal MCP server you can deploy to Volken in about five minutes. It exposes three trivial tools so you can see the whole loop end to end: deploy from GitHub, connect an AI client, watch the calls land.

Tool

Does

echo

Returns the message you send it

add

Adds two numbers

current_time

Returns the current time as ISO 8601

The server speaks the MCP Streamable HTTP transport at the root path and listens on the port Volken provides in PORT (it falls back to 8080 locally).

Deploy it

You need Node.js 20+, a GitHub account, and an AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor).

  1. Make it yours. Click Use this template (or fork), then clone your copy.

  2. Install the CLI and sign in:

    npm install -g volken
    volken login
  3. Initialise and deploy:

    volken init
    volken deploy

    volken init detects the runtime and writes your volken.toml. volken deploy builds from your repository and prints your endpoint and a gateway token.

  4. Connect an AI client:

    volken connect --install --token <your-token>

    Restart the client, then ask it to "add 2 and 3" or "what time is it".

  5. Watch the calls:

    volken calls --tail

Run it locally

volken dev

This runs the server in the MCP Inspector so you can call the tools from a browser before you deploy.

Add your own tool

Each tool is a server.registerTool(name, config, handler) call in src/index.ts. Copy one, give it a name, an input schema, and a handler, then redeploy.
