# MCP API Testing Server Workshop (Starter)

This `main` branch is the **starter** for the workshop. It intentionally contains only a minimal server scaffold and the workshop description.

To build the full MCP API testing server, start with `increment01-bootstrap` and follow the increments in `workshop/README.md`.

## Quickstart (starter only)

```bash
npm install
npm run server
```

The `/mcp` endpoint is a placeholder until you complete increment01.
