demo-mcp-server MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server

A TypeScript-based MCP server demonstrating core concepts through a ​project management system. Key components:

​Resources: Query projects via URIs and hierarchical paths ​Tools: Create and open projects programmatically

goal: Tell AI to open the project, and AI will call MCP Server to open the project and run it locally

Features

Resources

• List and access projects via project:// URIs
• Each project has a project name, path and metadata
• Plain text mime type for simple content access

Tools

• create_project - Create new text projects
  • Takes title and content as required parameters
  • Stores project in server state
• open_project - open project

Development

• Install dependencies:

npm install

• Build the server:

npm run build

• For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

• Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node .../demo-mcp-server/build/index.js

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
