HTTP MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides GitHub repository information via both HTTP and stdio transports. This server enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to fetch GitHub repositories for any user.

🚀 Features

• GitHub Repository Fetcher: Retrieve all repositories for any GitHub username

• Dual Transport Modes:

  • HTTP Mode: Run as a web server for remote access

  • stdio Mode: Run locally for MCP client integration

• Type-Safe: Built with TypeScript and Zod for schema validation

• Express Integration: Modern HTTP server with JSON support

📋 Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)

• npm or yarn

🔧 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/kh-mahmoud/streamable-mcp.git
cd streamable-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the project:

npm run build

🎯 Usage

HTTP Mode (Web Server)

Start the server in HTTP mode:

npm run server

The server will start on http://localhost:3000 (or the port specified in PORT environment variable).

API Endpoint:

• POST /mcp - MCP JSON-RPC endpoint

stdio Mode (Local MCP Client)

For local MCP client integration:

node build/index.js stdio

Development Mode

Run with hot-reload during development:

npm run server

MCP Inspector

Inspect the MCP server:

npm run inspect

🛠️ Available Tools

🔌 MCP Client Integration

To use this server with an MCP client, configure it in your MCP client settings:

For stdio mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "http_mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

For HTTP mode:

npm i mcp-remote

"http-mcp": {
      "command": "mcp-remote",
      "args": [
        "http://localhost:3000/mcp" or "your/deployment/link/mcp"
      ],
      "env":{
        "NODE_OPTIONS":"--no-deprecation"
      }
    }
