What is boot-mcp?

boot-mcp is a comprehensive starter template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications using TypeScript. It provides pre-built implementations for resources, tools, prompts, roots, transports, and sampling, enabling developers to quickly create MCP servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications.

How to use boot-mcp?

Install dependencies with npm install, pnpm install, or yarn install. Run the stdio server example with pnpm start:basic or the HTTP/SSE server with pnpm start:http. The project structure includes src/ for implementations and examples/ for ready-to-run servers.
