About generator-mcp
generator-mcp is a Yeoman generator for quickly scaffolding a new MCP server project. It suits developers who want a starting project instead of writing the setup by hand.
Key features
- 01Generates an MCP server project with yo mcp
- 02Starts debugging in VS Code with F5
- 03Opens MCP Inspector automatically during debugging
Use cases
- 01Scaffolding a new MCP server project
- 02Debugging and testing an MCP server in VS Code
MCP support
The generator scaffolds the project structure for an MCP server and does not itself connect to or manage MCP servers.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
