---name: typescript-mcp-server-generatordescription: 'Generate a complete MCP server project in TypeScript with tools, resources, and proper configuration'--- # Generate TypeScript MCP Server Create a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in TypeScript with the following specifications: ## Requirements 1. **Project Structure**: Create a new TypeScript/Node.js project with proper directory structure2. **NPM Packages**: Include @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod@3, and either express (for HTTP) or stdio support3. **TypeScript Configuration**: Proper tsconfig.json with ES modules support4. **Server Type**: Choose between HTTP (with Streamable HTTP transport) or stdio-based server5. **Tools**: Create at least one useful tool with proper schema validation6. **Error Handling**: Include comprehensive error handling and validation ## Implementation Details ### Project Setup- Initialize with `npm init` and create package.json- Install dependencies: `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`, `zod@3`, and transport-specific packages- Configure TypeScript with ES modules: `"type": "module"` in package.json- Add dev dependencies: `tsx` or `ts-node` for development- Create proper .gitignore file ### Server Configuration- Use `McpServer` class for high-level implementation- Set server name and version- Choose appropriate transport (StreamableHTTPServerTransport or StdioServerTransport)- For HTTP: set up Express with proper middleware and error handling- For stdio: use StdioServerTransport directly ### Tool Implementation- Use `registerTool()` method with descriptive names- Define schemas using zod for input and output validation- Provide clear `title` and `description` fields- Return both `content` and `structuredContent` in results- Implement proper error handling with try-catch blocks- Support async operations where appropriate ### Resource/Prompt Setup (Optional)- Add resources using `registerResource()` with ResourceTemplate for dynamic URIs- Add prompts using `registerPrompt()` with argument schemas- Consider adding completion support for better UX ### Code Quality- Use TypeScript for type safety- Follow async/await patterns consistently- Implement proper cleanup on transport close events- Use environment variables for configuration- Add inline comments for complex logic- Structure code with clear separation of concerns ## Example Tool Types to Consider- Data processing and transformation- External API integrations- File system operations (read, search, analyze)- Database queries- Text analysis or summarization (with sampling)- System information retrieval ## Configuration Options- **For HTTP Servers**:   - Port configuration via environment variables  - CORS setup for browser clients  - Session management (stateless vs stateful)  - DNS rebinding protection for local servers  - **For stdio Servers**:  - Proper stdin/stdout handling  - Environment-based configuration  - Process lifecycle management ## Testing Guidance- Explain how to run the server (`npm start` or `npx tsx server.ts`)- Provide MCP Inspector command: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`- For HTTP servers, include connection URL: `http://localhost:PORT/mcp`- Include example tool invocations- Add troubleshooting tips for common issues ## Additional Features to Consider- Sampling support for LLM-powered tools- User input elicitation for interactive workflows- Dynamic tool registration with enable/disable capabilities- Notification debouncing for bulk updates- Resource links for efficient data references Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server with comprehensive documentation, type safety, and error handling.
