Frequently asked questions

What is included in mcp-template?

A minimal, barebones starting point with no pre-built functionality—you add the logic yourself using an AI coding assistant.

Do I need a specific runtime or environment?

The README does not list specific runtime requirements; the focus is on using an AI coding assistant as the development tool.

Is mcp-template a complete, runnable server?

No. It is a starting template that you extend to build your own MCP server.

What AI assistants are supported?

Cursor and Windsurf are explicitly mentioned; any AI coding assistant that can work with the directory may also be used.

Where can I learn more about building an MCP server?

The README references the MCP tutorial at modelcontextprotocol.io and a companion YouTube video for guidance.
