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
