}MCP Server TypeScript Template
A template for creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using TypeScript. This project demonstrates how to implement a simple MCP server with custom tools.
Overview
This template implements a basic MCP server that provides tools for:
- Example operation: A simple demonstration operation
- Addition: A tool that adds two numbers
The server uses the Model Context Protocol SDK to handle communication between AI models and external tools.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- npm or yarn
