MCP Server Integration — Build Exercise

Scaffold for the CCA-F prep exercise from 2.4 MCP Server Integration. Nothing here is solved — every task below has a TODO for you to fill in.

Task checklist

  • 1. Project-level config — .mcp.json has a github server entry (command/args). Swap it for whichever community server you want, if not GitHub.

  • 2. Env var expansion — the github entry references ${GITHUB_TOKEN} instead of a hardcoded credential. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in a real token.

  • 3. User-level config — not created here on purpose, since ~/.claude.json lives outside the project and is personal to your machine. Template and steps: docs/user-level-config.md.

  • 4. Expose an MCP resource — src/server.ts has a stub catalogue://TODO resource. Replace it with a real content catalogue (e.g. a DB schema or docs hierarchy) with a proper URI, name, description, and mimeType.

  • 5. Enhance tool descriptions — same file, example_tool has a placeholder description. Write 3-5 sentences covering capability, output, use case, and how it compares to a built-in alternative.

Setup

npm install
npm run dev        # starts the stdio server directly
npm run inspect     # opens MCP Inspector against the server for manual testing

Layout

.mcp.json                   Task 1 & 2 — project-level server config
.env.example                Task 2 — template for the secret .mcp.json expands
docs/user-level-config.md   Task 3 — template + steps for ~/.claude.json
src/server.ts                Task 4 & 5 — custom MCP server with resource/tool stubs

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
