MCP Server Starter Kit

A production-ready TypeScript template for building MCP servers. MCP is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and APIs. If you want Claude to call your API, read your database, or use your custom tools, this is how you do it.

Includes the scaffolding, working examples, and a decision guide for the choices that trip people up (stdio vs SSE, tools vs resources, error handling, auth).

• 3 working tool examples (fetch URL, read file, call API)
• 1 working resource and 1 working prompt example
• 12-page decision guide covering transport, auth, versioning, and deployment
• Debugging checklist for the 8 most common MCP integration failures
• Cursor rules file that enforces MCP server conventions

Build a working MCP server in under an hour.
