SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod, express, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive instructions and best practices for developing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using the TypeScript SDK, simplifying the creation of robust and efficient AI services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server Implementation: Guides on using McpServer and Server classes for both high-level and low-level control.
  • Schema Validation: Emphasizes the use of zod for validating input and output schemas.
  • Tool, Resource, and Prompt Registration: Details on how to register various components with examples.
  • Transport Handling: Covers both HTTP (StreamableHTTPServerTransport) and stdio (StdioServerTransport) communication.
  • Use Case: Develop a TypeScript-based server that exposes tools for natural language processing, such as text summarization or sentiment analysis, accessible via an MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start

Install the MCP SDK for TypeScript by running npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server using TypeScript?

To build an MCP server using TypeScript, use the `McpServer` or `Server` classes from the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`, then register tools, resources, and prompts before configuring your transport layer.

How do I validate input schemas for MCP tools in TypeScript?

You validate input schemas for MCP tools in TypeScript using the `zod` library, ensuring robust type checking and schema validation before processing requests on your server.

Can I use Express with the Model Context Protocol SDK for HTTP transport?

Yes, you can use Express with the Model Context Protocol SDK by implementing the `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` to expose your TypeScript server endpoints over HTTP.

What is the difference between stdio and HTTP transports in MCP server development?

In MCP server development, stdio transport using `StdioServerTransport` is for local communication, while HTTP transport using `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` exposes your server over the network.

Does the TypeScript MCP SDK support dynamic resources and LLM integration?

Yes, the TypeScript MCP SDK supports dynamic resources and LLM integration through built-in sampling and completions features, allowing advanced natural language processing workflows.

What are the best practices for error handling in an MCP server?

Best practices for error handling in an MCP server involve using schema validation with `zod` and implementing structured error responses within your tool, resource, and prompt registration logic.
