SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide a reusable, standardized pattern for building MCP servers using the Node/TypeScript SDK, simplifying tool/resource registration, prompts, and transport configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enables consistent tool and resource registration, prompt templating, and input validation (Zod) across MCP servers.
Guides developers through choosing between stdio for local clients and Streamable HTTP for remote clients, ensuring correct transport setup.
Useful for building new MCP servers, updating existing ones, debugging registration flows, and ensuring compatibility with Context7 and MCP docs.

Quick Start

Create a new MCP server project and follow the example setup to register tools and resources.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build an MCP server using TypeScript?▼

You can build an MCP server using TypeScript by applying a reusable Node/TypeScript SDK pattern that standardizes tool and resource registration, prompt templates, and Zod input validation.

What is the best way to register tools and resources in an MCP server?▼

The best way to register tools and resources in an MCP server is by using a standardized SDK pattern that ensures consistent registration flows, Zod input validation, and compatibility with Context7 and MCP docs.

Should I use stdio or Streamable HTTP transport for my MCP server?▼

You should use stdio transport for local clients and Streamable HTTP transport for remote clients, with the SDK pattern guiding the correct transport setup and configuration for your MCP server.

Can I use Zod for input validation when creating MCP prompts and tools?▼

Yes, you can use Zod for input validation when creating MCP prompts and tools, as the Node/TypeScript SDK pattern implements Zod validation to ensure robust input handling across server components.

How do I debug tool registration flows in an existing MCP server?▼

To debug tool registration flows in an existing MCP server, apply the standardized SDK pattern to verify consistent registration logic, validate Zod schemas, and ensure transport compatibility.
