About create-typescript-server

create-typescript-server is a command line tool that scaffolds a new TypeScript MCP server project. It suits developers who want a quick starting point for building an MCP server. The generated project can be built and watched with npm scripts.

Key features

  1. 01Creates an MCP server project via npx
  2. 02Accepts name and description options
  3. 03Provides npm build and watch scripts

Use cases

  1. 01Starting a new TypeScript MCP server quickly
  2. 02Setting up the initial structure for a custom MCP server

MCP support

The tool creates the skeleton of an MCP server project. The generated project is an MCP server intended to expose tools to MCP clients.

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-typescript-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/create-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @modelcontextprotocol/create-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.

Packages
npm@modelcontextprotocol/create-server

Tools

No tool list yet

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.
