This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE?

MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE is a TypeScript-based starter template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using the official MCP SDK. It acts as an interface between user queries and tool execution, enabling AI assistants and external systems to dynamically call tools, interpret prompts, and manage resources in a modular and extensible way.

How to use MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE?

Clone the repository, run npm install, configure environment variables (e.g., TRANSPORT_TYPE, HTTP_PORT) in a .env file, then start the server with npm start (production) or npm run dev (development). Use npm run test:http to test the HTTP transport, npm run mcp:inspector to launch the MCP Inspector GUI for debugging.

Key features of MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE

Modular architecture with separation of concerns
Transport abstraction for HTTP (stateless) and stdio (stateful)
Dependency injection for testability and decoupling
Tool system with Zod schema validation and auto-generated JSON schema
Extensible prompt and resource scaffolding for LLM workflows
Built-in testing with Jest and MCP Inspector GUI

Use cases of MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE

Building conversational MCP servers for AI assistants
Creating a backend to manage callable tools for LLM-based workflows
Prototyping LLM toolchains or integrating with proprietary systems
Preparing a scalable production MCP assistant backend

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites to run MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE?

Node.js version 18.x or later, npm, and Git are required.

What transport types does MCP-SERVER-TEMPLATE support?

It supports HTTP (stateless, each request creates a new server instance) and stdio (stateful, for persistent communication). The transport is set via the `TRANSPORT_TYPE` environment variable (default: `'stdio'`).

How do I configure the server?

Configuration is done through environment variables in a `.env` file, such as `TRANSPORT_TYPE`, `HTTP_PORT`, `HTTP_HOST`, `SESSION_SUPPORT`, and `LOG_LEVEL`. Defaults are provided for each option.

How can I test the server?

Run unit tests with `npm test` (Jest). For HTTP transport, start the server with `TRANSPORT_TYPE=http`, then run `npm run test:http` to send a `tools/list` JSON-RPC request and validate the response.

What is the MCP Inspector and how do I use it?

The MCP Inspector is a web-based debugging GUI for visualizing tool calls and server state. Run `npm run mcp:inspector` after building the project to launch it locally (default port 6274).
