Overview
Axe Handle is a TypeScript-based code generator designed for creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, specifically targeting Express.js applications.
To use Axe Handle, clone the repository, install the dependencies, and run the generation command with your Protobuf schema to create an MCP server.
- Schema-driven development using Protobuf schemas. - Compliance with the official MCP protocol. - Optimized TypeScript code generation. - Robust error handling with clear messages. - Developer-friendly workflow for building, running, and testing.
- Generating Express.js servers from Protobuf schemas.
- Creating production-ready implementations of MCP services.
- Facilitating rapid development and iteration of server applications.

Use these steps to connect Axe Handle Project in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"axe-handle-dkoosis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-axe-handle-dkoosis"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{

]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)

"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-axe-handle-dkoosis"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
