概览

What is MCP Server Starter?

MCP Server Starter is a basic project structure for building your own MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It enables running local tools with Cursor, Claude, and other MCP-compatible clients. The starter supports multiple transport protocols—stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE—and is written in TypeScript. It is intended for developers who want to create custom local tooling that integrates with AI assistants.

How to use MCP Server Starter?

After ensuring Node.js is installed, clone or set up the starter project. You then configure an MCP-compatible client (e.g., Cursor) by adding a JSON snippet to .cursor/mcp.json that points to the server’s CLI. For local testing with stdio, run node ./bin/cli.mjs --stdio; for Streamable HTTP, run node ./bin/cli.mjs --http --port 4200. The server can also be published to npm and used via npx.

FAQ from MCP Server Starter

Which transport should I use?

Use stdio for local setups and Streamable HTTP for remote usage. Streamable HTTP is not supported in Cursor yet. SSE is deprecated.

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js and an MCP-compatible client like Cursor are required.

How do I run the server with Streamable HTTP?

Start the server with node ./bin/cli.mjs --http --port 4200 (port defaults to 3000). Then configure your client with a url pointing to http://localhost:4200/mcp.
