Short summary

A quick guide to building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using the create-mcp-server scaffolding tool. Covers project setup, defining a custom tool handler in TypeScript, building and running the server, and connecting it to Claude Desktop. The MCP SDK handles transport, so you only need to define tool logic.

  • Scaffold an MCP server with npx create-mcp-server and define tool handlers in TypeScript
  • The SDK handles transport via StdioServerTransport — no HTTP or port management needed
  • Add the server to Claude Desktop config to expose custom tools to the AI assistant

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
