Overview

MCP Server Template is a foundational template for creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using TypeScript, designed to provide a robust structure for building MCP-compatible servers with best practices.

To use the MCP Server Template, clone the repository, install the dependencies, and follow the provided instructions to start the development server, build the project, and run tests.

  • Full TypeScript support - Container-based dependency injection - Service-based architecture with DataProcessor interface - Example tool implementation with tests - Vitest testing framework - Type definitions - MCP SDK integration
  1. Building custom tools for data processing using the MCP framework.
  2. Developing and testing MCP-compatible servers in a structured environment.
  3. Integrating various services and tools within an MCP server architecture.

Use these steps to connect MCP Server Template 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": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-stevennevins-mcp-server-template-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
