About create-mcp-server

create-mcp-server is a CLI scaffolder for TypeScript MCP server projects. It generates a structured foundation with optional web API, WebSocket, and database components, plus examples for tools, resources, and prompts.

Key features

  1. 01Generates a complete MCP server structure
  2. 02Optional web API, WebSocket, and database
  3. 03TypeScript with modern ES modules
  4. 04Examples for tools, resources, and prompts
  5. 05Error handling, logging, and environment configuration

Use cases

  1. 01Scaffold a new MCP server project
  2. 02Set up a server with selected web capabilities
  3. 03Start implementing MCP tools, resources, and prompts

MCP support

It scaffolds MCP server projects following the MCP Advanced Node specification and includes examples of tools, resources, and prompts.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"create-advanced": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"create-advanced-mcp-server"
]
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y create-advanced-mcp-server

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
