import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { z } from "zod";

// Create the server
const server = new McpServer({
  name: "my-mcp-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
});

// Add a simple tool
server.tool(
  "hello_world",
  {
    name: z.string().describe("The name to greet"),
  },
  async ({ name }) => {
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: `Hello, ${name}!` }],
    };
  }
);

async function run() {
  const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
  await server.connect(transport);
  console.log("my-mcp-server is running on stdio");
}

run().catch(console.error);

Installation Instructions:

npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod

What is the Model Context Protocol?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard introduced by Anthropic that allows AI assistants (like Claude Desktop or Cursor) to securely interact with your local environment, databases, and APIs.

Instead of giving an AI full access to your system, you run an MCP Server. The server exposes specific Tools and Resources that the AI can call.

How to test your MCP Server

Generate and copy the boilerplate code from above.
Install the required dependencies (`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` for TS, or `mcp` for Python).
Run the server script. It communicates via Standard IO (stdio).
To use it with Claude Desktop, add it to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": {
  "my-server": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["/path/to/your/server.js"]
  }
}
