Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
MCP Server: TypeScript Project InitializerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
The server can be run using the provided Makefile (make install, make build, make inspect) or manually (npm install, npm run build, then node build/index.js). It does not require any environment variables; it listens for MCP tool calls from the client.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

}MCP Server: TypeScript Project Initializer
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a tool to initialize a basic TypeScript project structure.
The server exposes a single tool, init-typescript, which takes a project name and destination folder as input and creates:
A project directory.
package.json (via npm init -y).
Installs typescript as a dev dependency.
tsconfig.json with basic settings.
A src directory with a simple index.ts file.
Adds build and start scripts to package.json.
Prerequisites
Node.js and npm (or a compatible package manager)
Make
Usage with Makefile
A Makefile is provided for common tasks. Run these commands from the root directory of this project (mcp-server-typescript-init):
Install Dependencies:
make install
(Runs npm install)
Build the Project:
make build
(Runs
npm run build, which compiles TypeScript to JavaScript in the build/ directory)
Inspect the Server:
make inspect
(Runs make build first, then starts the MCP inspector using npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js)
Install, Build, and Inspect (Default):
make
or
make all
(Runs
make install, make build, and make inspect sequentially)
Clean Project:
make clean
(Removes node_modules, build, dist, and .tsbuildinfo files)
Running Manually
If you prefer not to use Make:
1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Build the project: npm run build
3. Run the server (e.g., with the inspector):
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
Or run the server directly if connecting with a client:
node build/index.js
