Overview

What is MCP Starter Project?

MCP Starter Project is a template for building AI applications with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes a Python server that defines documentation search tools and a TypeScript client that connects to the server and integrates with HuggingFace models. It is designed for developers who want to learn or quickly prototype MCP‑based AI assistants.

How to use MCP Starter Project?

Set up the Python server by creating a virtual environment, installing dependencies, adding a .env file with SERPER_API_KEY, and running python main.py. For the client, install Node.js dependencies, add a .env with HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY, build the TypeScript code, then start it with node build/index.js ../mcp-server/main.py. Use the POST /chat endpoint with a JSON body containing query and sessionId to interact with the system.
