Install Node.js v18 or newer, run npm install, then add the provided JSON configuration to Cursor's MCP settings, replacing <absolute_path_to> with the absolute path to stdio-example.ts. After setup, ask an LLM in Cursor a question ending with "yes or no" to invoke the tool.

MCP Example: Server over stdio

This repository demonstrates a simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation that communicates over stdio using TypeScript.

Features

- Example MCP server using stdio - Written in TypeScript - Easily extensible for custom MCP commands

Prerequisites

- Node.js (v18 or newer recommended) - npm

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new MCP:

   {

       "mcpServers": {

           "Yes or No MCP": {

               "command": "npx",

               "args": [

                   "-y",

                   "tsx",

                   "<absolute_path_to>/stdio-example.ts",

                   "--stdio"

               ]

           }

       }

   }

Replace <absolute_path_to> with the absolute path to your stdio-example.ts file.

3. Use MCP server:
Ask LLM in Cursor some question and add "yes or no" in the end, Cursor will call MCP tool.
