Overview

What is MCP Server Template?

MCP Server Template is a comprehensive template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with TypeScript/Node.js. It provides a standardized structure, best practices, error handling utilities, a testing framework, and example implementations for developers creating MCP servers.

How to use MCP Server Template?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, build the project with npm run build, and run the example server with npm start. For AI-assisted development, copy the prompts from PROMPT_TEMPLATE.md or AI_ASSISTANT_PROMPT.md into an LLM conversation. Test your implementation with npm test.

Key features of MCP Server Template

  • MCP server implementation with protocol version negotiation
  • Capability declaration and tool registration
  • Resource management and prompt templates
  • Error handling and logging utilities
  • Testing framework for unit and integration tests
  • Example implementations (Weather, GitHub, Local Files)

Use cases of MCP Server Template

  • Building custom MCP servers from a standardized starting point
  • Integrating with external APIs (e.g., National Weather Service, GitHub)
  • Managing local filesystem access and operations
  • Rapid prototyping with LLM-assisted development
  • Developing and testing MCP tools and resources
