Overview

What is MCP Server Cookie Cutter Template?

MCP Server Cookie Cutter Template is a project template for generating new Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It creates a fully functional MCP server with multi-transport support (stdio and streamable HTTP), advanced logging, automatic decorators, and a web-based management UI. It is intended for developers who want to quickly bootstrap custom MCP server projects with best practices baked in.

How to use MCP Server Cookie Cutter Template?

You use the template by running cookiecutter gh:codingthefuturewithai/mcp-cookie-cutter (or from a local clone) and answering prompts for project name, description, author details, and server port. After generation, you install dependencies with uv pip install -e ., run tests with pytest, and start the server with python -m your_project_name --transport stdio or --transport streamable-http. A Streamlit management UI is launched via streamlit run your_project_name/ui/app.py.
