# Simple MCP

A simple TypeScript library for creating [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (Model Context Protocol) servers.

## Features

- **Simple API**: Create MCP servers with minimal code
- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript integration
- **Parameter Validation**: Built-in validation with Zod
- **MCP Compatible**: Fully implements the Model Context Protocol

## Installation

```bash
npm install simple-mcp
```

## Quickstart

```typescript
import { McpServer } from 'simple-mcp';
import { z } from 'zod';

// Create a server instance
const server = new McpServer({ name: 'my-server' });

// Register the tool with the server
server.tool({
  name: 'greet',
  parameters: {
    name: z.string().describe('Person\'s name')
  },
  execute: async ({ name }) => {
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: `Hello, ${name}! Nice to meet you.`
        }
      ]
    };
  }
});

// Start the server
server.start({ transportType: 'stdio' });
```

## Class-based Implementation

You can also implement MCP tools using classes:

```typescript
import { McpServer, type McpTool } from 'simple-mcp';
import { z, ZodObject } from 'zod';

const parameters = {
  name: z.string().describe('The name is required'),
};

class GreetTool implements McpTool<typeof parameters> {
  public readonly name = 'greet';
  public readonly parameters = parameters;

  public async execute({ name }: z.infer<ZodObject<typeof this.parameters>>) {
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: `Hello, ${name}! Nice to meet you.`,
        },
      ],
    };
  }
}

// Initialize a new MCP server with the name 'greet-server'
const server = new McpServer({ name: 'greet-server' });

// Create an instance of the GreetTool class
const greetTool = new GreetTool();

// Register the tool with the server
server.tool(greetTool);

// Start the server using stdio as the transport method
server.start({ transportType: 'stdio' });
```

D1.5/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool in the server, there is no possibility of overlap or confusion between tools. The agent does not need to distinguish competing operations.

Naming Consistency4/5

The single tool name 'greet' uses a clear lowercase verb with no conflicting naming style. However, one tool is too few to establish a meaningful naming pattern across a server.

Tool Count1/5

A server named MCPKit containing only one trivial tool is severely underprovisioned. This tool count earns no place in a coherent server surface.

Completeness1/5

The only tool, 'greet', provides a trivial single action with no description and no supporting operations. The server surface is severely incomplete for any plausible broader purpose.
