SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build MCP servers with the Node/TypeScript SDK to expose tools, resources, and prompts in a scalable, transport-agnostic way.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tools & Resources: Register tools and resources and surface reusable prompts with schema validation to enable reliable model interactions.
  • Transport Flexibility: Supports stdio for local clients and Streamable HTTP for remote deployments, with clear guidance on choosing the right transport.
  • Use Case: When building a new MCP server or upgrading an existing one, use this pattern to standardize tool/resource definitions and ensure correct registration and transport behavior.

Quick Start

Install the MCP SDK and initialize a basic MCP server with a single tool and transport.

FAQPage Schema
How do I register tools and resources in an MCP server using Node and TypeScript?

To register tools and resources in an MCP server, use the Node/TypeScript SDK to define schemas with Zod validation and surface reusable prompts, ensuring reliable model interactions and scalable server design.

When should I use stdio versus Streamable HTTP transport for an MCP server?

Use stdio transport for local MCP clients and Streamable HTTP for remote deployments; choosing the right transport ensures correct registration and transport-agnostic behavior when building or upgrading MCP servers.

What is the best way to add schema validation to MCP server prompts?

The best way to add schema validation to MCP server prompts is using Zod validation within the Node/TypeScript SDK, standardizing tool and resource definitions to enable reliable model interactions.

Can I use the Model Context Protocol SDK with Node.js for scalable server design?

Yes, you can use the Model Context Protocol SDK with Node.js to build scalable servers, exposing tools, resources, and prompts in a transport-agnostic way with clear guidance on choosing transports.

Do I need Zod validation to maintain an MCP server in TypeScript?

Yes, understanding Zod validation is required when maintaining an MCP server in TypeScript, as it standardizes tool and resource definitions to surface reusable prompts for reliable model interactions.
