MCP Server Boilerplate

A basic Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that can be used as a starting point for building MCP-compatible applications.

Features

• Basic MCP server setup with TypeScript
• Example function implementation
• Graceful shutdown handling
• Development and production build configurations

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm or yarn

Installation

npm install

Development

To run the server in development mode with hot-reload:

npm run dev

Building for Production

To build the project:

npm run build

To start the production server:

npm start

Adding New MCP Functions

To add new functions to the server:

1. Define a new function schema using Zod
2. Create a function implementation following the MCPFunction interface
3. Add the function to the server configuration

Example:

const myNewFunction: MCPFunction = {
  name: 'my_new_function',
  description: 'Description of what the function does',
  parameters: z.object({
    // Define your parameters here
  }),
  handler: async (params) => {
    // Implement your function logic here
    return {
      // Return your response here
    };
  }
};
