Overview

What is MCP Server TypeScript Starter?

MCP Server TypeScript Starter is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides location services. It demonstrates how to build a production-ready MCP server using TypeScript with real-world functionality for looking up location data via geographic coordinates or IP addresses. The server is intended for developers who want a reference implementation or a starting point for their own MCP services.

How to use MCP Server TypeScript Starter?

Install the package via npm install mylocation-mcp, create a .env file with your IPInfo.io API token (IPINFO_TOKEN), then import and use the server in your TypeScript code. Alternatively, configure the server in your project’s MCP settings using the provided npx command with the environment variable set.

FAQ from MCP Server TypeScript Starter

What dependencies does the server use?

The server requires @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod for input validation, axios for HTTP requests, dotenv for environment variable management, and TypeScript development tools.

What API key is required?

You need an IPInfo.io API token (IPINFO_TOKEN) to use the IP-based location lookup. The token is set as an environment variable.

How do I configure the MCP server in my project?

Add an entry to your MCP configuration object with command npx, arguments ["-y", "mylocation-mcp-server"], and environment variable IPINFO_TOKEN.

What format do the tool responses follow?

Responses are JSON objects wrapped in a standard MCP content array. Each response contains a status (“success” or “error”), a source (“user_provided” or “ip_based”), a data field with location information (on success), and an error field with an error message (on failure).

Does the server support any other lookup methods?

The README describes three tools: coordinate-based lookup, IP-based lookup, and a health check. No other lookup methods are mentioned.
