MCP support
It connects to Claude Desktop as an MCP server and exposes tools for creating, updating, and managing other MCP servers. Users can invoke these tools through Claude Desktop's integration interface.
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.

- Claude Desktop installed
Installation
-
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/SerhatUzbas/mcp-server-generator.git cd mcprotocol -
Install dependencies (only first installation):
npm install -
Register the creator server with Claude Desktop:
-
Macos:
open ~/Library/"Application Support"/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json -
Windows (Command Prompt):
start %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json -
Or from Claude Desktop: Settings > Developer > Edit Config
example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-generator": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/username/Documents/GitHub/mcprotocol/creator-server.js"]
}
}
}
Note for Windows users: Remember to use backslashes for file paths and escape them properly in your JSON configuration. Example:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-generator": { "command": "node", "args": ["C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\GitHub\\mcprotocol\\creator-server.js"] } } }
Using the MCP Server Creator
Once registered, you can use the MCP Server Creator through Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop
- Select resources and prompts from choose an integration dropdown
- Ask Claude to create or manage your MCP servers
Creating a New Server
Ask Claude to create a server for your specific needs:
Create an simple MCP server that integrates with PostgreSQL to provide database operations and query capabilities.
Claude will (probably):
- Check the server list if it exist
- Generate the server code
- Save it to the
serversdirectory - Register it with Claude Desktop
- Identify and install required dependencies
Available Tools

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.
