MCP Server Playground

This repository is a playground for experimenting with an MCP Server built with TypeScript. It is a personalized version of the tutorial and video on building an MCP Server, and it is intended both as a learning resource and a platform to test integrations with Calude Desktop and Cursor IDE.

Background

This project is based on the material from:

The original tutorial provided a foundation which I have extended. Alongside the examples from the tutorial, I plan to add additional tools and functionalities to evolve this code into a robust playground for MCP Server experiments.

Features

TypeScript-based server: Leveraging TypeScript for better structure and error-checking.
Modular design: Easy to extend with new commands, features, and integrations.
Integration-ready: Designed to work with Calude Desktop and Cursor IDE for an improved development experience.
Expandable playground: A sandbox environment to experiment with additional tools and modifications beyond the tutorial examples.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js (v12 or higher)
npm (or Yarn, based on your preference)
TypeScript (if not installed globally)

Configuration

This project uses environment variables. Create a .env file to set your configuration options. If an example file (.env.example) is provided in the future, use it as a template.

Development

IDE Integration:
- Designed to work smoothly with Cursor IDE and Calude Desktop.
- Leverage the built-in tools and extensions supported by these IDEs to maximize productivity.
Extending the Project:
- Feel free to add new commands, integrations, or modify existing functionalities.
- The modular structure of the server makes it easy to plug in additional tools and features.
