About MCP-Server-Template-TS

What is MCP-Server-Template-TS: Rapid LLM Integration & Scalability?

This TypeScript template empowers developers to build MCP servers that act as bridges between Large Language Models (LLMs) and external systems. By following a modular design, it simplifies exposing structured data (resources), executing actions (tools), and generating context-aware responses (prompts) to LLMs. Think of it as a starter kit for anyone wanting to plug their own logic into the Model Context Protocol ecosystem without starting from scratch.

How to use MCP-Server-Template-TS: Rapid LLM Integration & Scalability?

Start by cloning the repo and installing dependencies with npm. Build, run, and test your server using standard scripts. The magic happens when you extend base classes in src/tools or src/base to add custom functionality. Need dynamic resources? Just tweak the index.ts registration logic. Oh, and the inspector tool makes debugging a breeze - no rocket science here.

MCP-Server-Template-TS Features

Key Features of MCP-Server-Template-TS: Rapid LLM Integration & Scalability?

  • TypeScript magic: Full type safety that prevents 90% of your headaches
  • Plug-and-play modules: Drop new tools/resources into their folders like LEGO pieces
  • MCP compliance built-in: Leverages the official TypeScript SDK for protocol correctness
  • Starter examples included: Get inspiration from pre-built tools and config templates
  • Watch mode dev: Hot-reloading for faster iteration cycles

Use cases of MCP-Server-Template-TS: Rapid LLM Integration & Scalability?

Perfect for scenarios where LLMs need to:

  • Fetch live data from databases (via resources)
  • Trigger API calls or computations (via tools)
  • Generate personalized responses based on user inputs (via prompts)

MCP-Server-Template-TS FAQ

FAQ from MCP-Server-Template-TS: Rapid LLM Integration & Scalability?

  • Do I need Node.js 18+? Absolutely - the async/await patterns rely on newer runtime features
  • Can I add custom authentication? Yep, just wrap your tool/resource handlers with auth middleware
  • Is dynamic parameter handling possible? Built-in support via Zod schema validation and template URIs
  • How do I troubleshoot? The MCP Inspector tool shows server status and test requests visually
  • Is community support available? Definitely - check the MCP forums for best practices

mcp-server-template-ts

A TypeScript template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with a modular and scalable structure.

Overview

This project provides a TypeScript-based template for creating MCP servers that can expose resources, tools, and prompts to Large Language Models (LLMs). The template follows a modular architecture that makes it easy to add new functionality.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables rich, bidirectional communication between LLMs and external services. This template helps you create servers that allow LLMs to:

  • Access structured data via resources
  • Perform actions and computations via tools
  • Generate context-specific responses via prompts

Features

  • TypeScript-based : Fully typed for better development experience
  • Modular Architecture : Add new tools and capabilities easily
  • MCP Standards : Built on the official MCP TypeScript SDK
  • Extensible : Simple base classes to extend for your custom functionality
  • Ready to use : Includes example tools and configuration

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm or yarn

Adding New Tools

  1. Create a new class that extends BaseTool in the src/tools directory:
import { BaseTool, ToolResult } from "../base/base-tool.js";
import { z } from "zod";

export class MyNewTool extends BaseTool {
    name = "my-new-tool";
    description = "Description of my new tool";
    schema = z.object({
        // Define your parameters with Zod
        param1: z.string().describe("Description of parameter 1"),
        param2: z.number().describe("Description of parameter 2")
    });

    async execute(input: z.infer<this["schema"]>): Promise<ToolResult> {
        // Implement your tool logic here
        const result = `Processed ${input.param1} with value ${input.param2}`;
        
        return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: result }]
        };
    }
}
  1. Register your tool in src/index.ts:
import { MyNewTool } from "./tools/my-tool.js";

// Inside the main function
(new MyNewTool()).register(server);

Adding Resources

To add a resource to your MCP server, modify the index.ts file:

// Register a static resource
server.resource(
  "example-resource",
  "example://resource",
  async (uri) => ({
    contents: [{
      uri: uri.href,
      text: "Example resource content"
    }]
  })
);

// Register a dynamic resource with parameters
server.resource(
  "dynamic-resource",
  new ResourceTemplate("dynamic://{param}", { list: undefined }),
  async (uri, { param }) => ({
    contents: [{
      uri: uri.href,
      text: `Dynamic resource with parameter: ${param}`
    }]
  })
);

Adding Prompts

To add a prompt template to your MCP server, modify the index.ts file:

// Register a prompt template
server.prompt(
  "example-prompt",
  {
    param1: z.string(),
    param2: z.number().optional()
  },
  ({ param1, param2 = 0 }) => ({
    messages: [{
      role: "user",
      content: {
        type: "text",
        text: `Process this with ${param1} and value ${param2}`
      }
    }]
  })
);
