Adding Components

The project comes with an example tool in src/tools/ExampleTool.ts. You can add more tools using the CLI:

# Add a new tool
mcp add tool my-tool

# Example tools you might create:
mcp add tool data-processor
mcp add tool api-client
mcp add tool file-handler

Tool Development

Example tool structure:

import { MCPTool } from "mcp-framework";
import { z } from "zod";

interface MyToolInput {
  message: string;
}

class MyTool extends MCPTool<MyToolInput> {
  name = "my_tool";
  description = "Describes what your tool does";

  schema = {
    message: {
      type: z.string(),
      description: "Description of this input parameter",
    },
  };

  async execute(input: MyToolInput) {
    // Your tool logic here
    return `Processed: ${input.message}`;
  }
}

export default MyTool;

Publishing to npm

1. Update your package.json:

   • Ensure name is unique and follows npm naming conventions
   • Set appropriate version
   • Add description, author, license, etc.
   • Check bin points to the correct entry file

2. Build and test locally:

   npm run build
   npm link
   filesystem  # Test your CLI locally
   

3. Login to npm (create account if necessary):

   npm login
   

4. Publish your package:

   npm publish
   

After publishing, users can add it to their claude desktop client (read below) or run it with npx
