CLI tool for quickly creating and configuring new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server projects using the FastMCP framework, with TypeScript support and two transport options.

Installation

NPX

npx @mcpdotdirect/create-mcp-server

NPM Init

npm init @mcpdotdirect/mcp-server

Configuration

Cursor MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-mcp-stdio": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": [
        "start"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development"
      }
    },
    "my-mcp-sse": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
    }
  }
}

Features

• Built with the FastMCP framework for simplified implementation
• Support for two transports: run MCP server via stdio or HTTP
• Full TypeScript support for type safety
• Easy addition of custom tools, resources, and prompts
• Basic server configuration with stdio and HTTP transport options
• Development scripts and configuration included
• Development mode with hot reload

Environment Variables

Optional

• PORT - HTTP server port (default 3001)
• HOST - host binding address (default 0.0.0.0)
• NODE_ENV - Node.js environment setting

Notes

This is a template/tool for creating MCP servers, not a functional MCP server in itself. After creation, use 'npm start' for stdio mode or 'npm run start:http' for HTTP mode. Scripts use Bun as the runtime by default, but can be modified to use Node.js. FastMCP provides built-in testing tools with 'npx fastmcp dev' and 'npx fastmcp inspect' commands.
