  3. 03Separate server and client setup
  4. 04Run components with tsx

Use cases

  1. 01Starting a new MCP server project
  2. 02Trying a simple MCP client and server

MCP support

Includes a basic MCP server and client implementation; the README does not describe server capabilities beyond that.

Configuration

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

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"starter-a17o": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"tsx"
]
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y tsx

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
npmtsx

Tools

No tool list yet

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.
