MCP Create Enhanced

An enhanced version of the dynamic MCP server management service that creates, runs, and manages Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers dynamically. This service runs as an MCP server itself and spawns/manages other MCP servers as child processes, enabling a robust and flexible MCP ecosystem.

🔄 Enhanced Version

This is an enhanced and improved version of tesla0225/mcp-create with significant improvements and new features.

📦 Installation

Note: Docker is the recommended method for running this service

Docker Installation (Recommended)

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t mcp-create .

# Run the Docker container
docker run -it --rm mcp-create

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PlumyCat/mcp-create-enhanced.git
cd mcp-create-enhanced

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Run
npm start

Testing Local Installation

After making changes to the code, you can test locally:

# Rebuild after changes
npm run build

# Test the server directly (it will wait for MCP protocol input)
npm start

# Or test with a simple echo command
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | npm start

Using Local Version with Claude Desktop

To use your modified local version with Claude Desktop, update your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-create-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./build/index.js"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/mcp-create-enhanced"
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/your/mcp-create-enhanced with the actual path to your local repository.

Building Docker Image with Local Changes

To create a Docker image with your local changes:

# Build Docker image with your changes
docker build -t mcp-create-local .

# Test the Docker image
docker run -it --rm mcp-create-local

# Use with Claude Desktop
# Update claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-create-local": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp-create-local"]
    }
  }
}

🤖 Claude Desktop Integration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-create": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp-create"]
    }
  }
}

🛠️ Available Tools

📋 Usage Examples

Creating a New Server

{
  "name": "create-server-from-template",
  "arguments": {
    "language": "python",
    "code": "# Custom Python MCP server code here"
  }
}

Executing a Tool with Validation

{
  "name": "execute-tool",
  "arguments": {
    "serverId": "ba7c9a4f-6ba8-4cad-8ec8-a41a08c19fac",
    "toolName": "echo",
    "args": {
      "message": "Hello, dynamic MCP server!"
    }
  }
}

Parameter Validation Example

If you try to execute a tool with missing required parameters:

{
  "name": "execute-tool",
  "arguments": {
    "serverId": "ba7c9a4f-6ba8-4cad-8ec8-a41a08c19fac",
    "toolName": "echo",
    "args": {}
  }
}

You'll get a proper MCP error response:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "error": {
    "code": -32602,
    "message": "Invalid parameters: Missing required parameter: 'message'"
  }
}

🔄 Complete Workflow After Modifications

1. Make your changes in the source code

2. Rebuild Docker: docker build -t mcp-create-local .

3. Test: docker run -it --rm mcp-create-local

4. Update Claude Desktop configuration if needed

💡 Practical Tips

• Different tag: If you want to keep the old version, use a different tag:

  docker build -t mcp-create-local:v2 .

• Cleanup: Remove unused old images:

  docker image prune

• Verification: List your images to confirm:

  docker images | grep mcp-create

🏗️ Technical Specifications

• Node.js 18 or higher

• TypeScript (required)

• Dependencies:

  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: MCP client/server implementation

  • child_process (Node.js built-in): Child process management

  • fs/promises (Node.js built-in): File operations

  • uuid: Unique server ID generation

  • zod: JSON schema validation

🔒 Security Considerations

• Code Execution Restrictions: Consider sandboxing as the service executes arbitrary code

• Resource Limitations: Set limits on memory, CPU usage, file count, etc.

• Process Monitoring: Monitor and forcefully terminate zombie or runaway processes

• Path Validation: Properly validate file paths to prevent directory traversal attacks

• Parameter Validation: All tool parameters are validated against JSON schemas before execution

🧪 Testing

The project includes comprehensive validation for MCP parameters:

• ✅ Valid parameters: Normal execution

• ✅ Missing required parameters: Returns MCP error -32602 with explicit message

• ✅ Wrong parameter types: Returns MCP error -32602 with type details

• ✅ Unknown tools: Returns MCP error -32601

• ✅ Optional parameters: Handled correctly
