Overview

What is MCP Server Template 🛠️?

A starter template for building your own Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It provides the basic structure and setup needed to create custom MCPs for use with Cursor or Claude Desktop, including TypeScript, a sample tool implementation, and a ready-to-use project structure built with the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

How to use MCP Server Template 🛠️?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with pnpm install, and build the project with pnpm run build. For Cursor, configure it in Settings → MCP with command node ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_MCP_SERVER/build/index.js. For Claude Desktop, add a JSON entry to its MCP config with the same command and arguments.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to run this template?

You need Node.js, a package manager like `pnpm` (or `npm`), and the ability to run a local build process.

Where do I define my own tools?

Edit `index.ts` and use the `server.tool()` method, providing a name, description, Zod parameters, and an async handler function.

Which transports or authentication does this template support?

The README does not specify transport or authentication details beyond the basic MCP server setup using the SDK.

Is this template ready for production use?

No, this is a starter template intended for development and prototyping. You must modify it with your own tool logic before deploying.

Can I use this template with other MCP clients?

The README specifically documents setup for Cursor and Claude Desktop, but the resulting server should be compatible with any MCP host if configured correctly.
