Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

@mcptdotdirect/template-mcp-server is a CLI tool designed to help developers quickly set up their own Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

To use the template, you can either run it using npx or npm: bash # with npx npx @mcpdotdirect/create-mcp-server # Or with npm npm init @mcpdotdirect/create-mcp-server After setting up, install dependencies and start the server using npm commands.

  • Dual Transport Support: Operate your MCP server over stdio or HTTP. - TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript integration for enhanced type safety. - MCP SDK: Built on the official Model Context Protocol SDK. - Extensibility: Easily add custom tools, resources, and prompts.
  1. Setting up a custom MCP server for AI applications.
  2. Developing tools that require context-aware interactions.
  3. Rapid prototyping of server-based applications using the MCP framework.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

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

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

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

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

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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