MCP support

Details
From the project README@madisonbullard/mcp-servers
A monorepo containing a TUI (@madisonbullard/mcp-server-tui) to aid in the installation of Model Context Protocol servers. Bring your own MCP server and publish it to NPM or your JS package manager of choice in minutes.
Here is an example the TUI in action, used to install @madisonbullard/shortcut-mcp-server:
It also contains MCP servers for various use cases, all installed via the TUI.

Development
- Install dependencies:
bun install
- Build the MCP server and CLI of the server you want to develop (this command builds every package in the monorepo):
bun run build
-
This will create a
distfolder in each package folder required for the server you want to develop. -
Run the CLI
bun run packages/shortcut-mcp-server-installer/dist/index.js # or the path to the dist folder of the CLI you want to run
- Run the MCP server
bun run packages/shortcut-mcp-server/dist/index.js
- The client (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) will run and connect to the MCP server without the above command, so you usually don't need to run it unless you want to manually make requests to the MCP server.
Coding style
Ensure bun typecheck and bun check pass. You can run bun fix to format the code.
To use the git hooks in the repo's .githooks folder, which will save you from waiting for CI to tell you that you forgot to these commands, run this:
git config core.hookspath .githooks

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.
