Scaffold for MCP Node Endpoint

This repository offers a foundational implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) intermediary layer, intended as the genesis point for crafting bespoke MCP-interoperable software components.

Key Functionality

Establishment of a fundamental MCP conduit utilizing TypeScript
Illustrative demonstration of a callable function implementation
Integration of protocols for safe, non-disruptive service stoppage
Pre-configured build artifacts tailored for staging/development versus live operation

Prerequisites

Runtime environment: Node.js (version 14 or newer)
Package manager: Either npm or yarn is acceptable

Setup Procedure

bash npm install

Iterative Development Mode

To initiate the service in a development configuration featuring live code reloading:

bash npm run dev

Production Artifact Generation

To compile the source code into deployable assets:

bash npm run build

To launch the optimized production instance:

bash npm start

Integrating Novel MCP Operations

To extend the service with new operational handlers:

Define the required schema for the operation using the Zod library.
Fabricate a handler adhering strictly to the predefined MCPFunction interface structure.
Register the newly defined operation within the primary service configuration mapping.

Exemplar structure:

typescript const novelOperationHandler: MCPFunction = { name: 'execute_new_utility', description: 'Details the purpose and effect of this specific utility', parameters: z.object({ // Schema definition for input arguments }), handler: async (inputParameters) => { // Core operational logic implementation return { // Structure and content of the resulting output object }; } };
