Steps to use and Tech Stack:-

  • This project is simple TS-MCP server which uses pnpm for dependency management.
  • Steps to use this server:-
    • Clone the repo to your local machine.
    • Run pnpm install command.
    • Run pnpm build command. This creates dist/src/index.js file which will be used as MCPServer.
    • Add below config to claude_desktop_config.json file:-
        "currencyrate": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": [
      "/Users/sripadt/Projects/CurrencyRate-MCP/dist/src/index.js"
    ]
  }
    • With this step, MCPServer is available for usage with Claude desktop.
    Steps to run MCP server manually:-
    • If you wish to debug this using MCPInspector, you can run the command pnpm dlx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
      • This opens up MCPInspector UI on http://127.0.0.1:6274/ where you need to specify node as command to run with dist/src/index.js as argument. This gives us UI to connect with out mcp server for debugging.
