Overview

What is Simple MCP Server?

Simple MCP Server is a basic example of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built with TypeScript and the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. It provides a single echo tool that repeats back any message sent to it, intended as a starting point for developers learning MCP.

How to use Simple MCP Server?

Clone the repository, run npm install, then npm run build to compile TypeScript. Run the server with node build/index.js; it listens over stdio. To use with an MCP client like Claude Desktop, configure the client’s claude_desktop_config.json to launch the server by specifying "command": "node" and "args": ["/absolute/path/to/simple-mcp-server/build/index.js"], then restart the client.

FAQ from Simple MCP Server

What does the server do?

It is a minimal MCP server that provides one tool called echo, which simply repeats back any message sent to it.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js version 16 or higher and npm are required.

How do I run the server locally?

After building the project (npm run build), execute node build/index.js to start the server on stdio.

How do I connect it to an MCP client?

Edit the client’s configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) to add a new mcpServers entry, using node as the command and the absolute path to build/index.js as the argument. Then restart the client.
