This is a quickstart guide for setting up an MCP server using TypeScript.
The MCP TS Quickstart provides a basic implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using TypeScript. It leverages the `stdio` transport to fetch top stories from Hacker News. The server is designed to work without a build step by utilizing Node v23, making it efficient and straightforward to set up. The guide includes instructions for cloning the repository, installing dependencies, and configuring the server to work with Claude Desktop. Additionally, it provides guidance on extending the server by adding new tools and using the MCP Inspector UI for development and testing. The quickstart is based on examples from the official MCP documentation.
Features
- TypeScript Implementation: The server is written in TypeScript, allowing for type safety and modern JavaScript features.
- No Build Step: Utilizes Node v23 to run directly without a build step, simplifying the development process.
- Integration with Claude Desktop: Provides configuration examples for integrating the server with Claude Desktop.
- MCP Inspector UI: Includes instructions for using the MCP Inspector UI to interact with and test the server.
- Extensible Design: Offers guidance on extending the server by adding new tools.
