Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@hello-world-mcp say hello"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Hello World MCP
Minimal Model Context Protocol server written in TypeScript.
What it does
This project starts a stdio-based MCP server with one tool:
helloreturnsHello, world!
Related MCP server: hello-world-mcp
Requirements
Node.js 18 or newer
npm
Install
npm installBuild
npm run buildRun
npm startFor development, you can recompile on change with:
npm run devCheck with MCP Inspector
MCP Inspector is a browser-based tool for testing MCP servers.
Build the server first:
npm run buildStart Inspector and point it at the TypeScript source directly:
npm run inspectOpen the Inspector UI in your browser at:
http://localhost:6274In the Inspector, connect to the server and call the
hellotool to verify the response.
This runs Inspector against src/index.ts through tsx, so you can test changes without rebuilding first.
Project files
src/index.ts contains the MCP server.
tsconfig.json contains the TypeScript compiler settings.
package.json contains the scripts and dependencies.

TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: datetime returns the current date/time, and hello returns a greeting. There is no ambiguity or overlap.
Both tool names are single-word, lowercase nouns that directly describe their function. The naming pattern is consistent and intuitive.
With exactly two tools, the server is minimal but well-scoped for its 'hello world' purpose. Each tool serves a clear role without unnecessary complexity.
For a simple demonstration server, the tool set is complete. It provides a greeting and a current date/time, which covers typical 'hello world' use cases. No obvious gaps.
