FAQ from MCP Create Server

What languages are currently supported?

Only TypeScript is supported. JavaScript and Python support are planned for future releases.

How do I install and run MCP Create Server?

Docker is the recommended method. Build the image with docker build -t mcp-create . and run with docker run -it --rm mcp-create. Manual installation via npm (Node.js 18+) is also available.
