This MCP server appears to be a demonstration instance named CF-MCP-SERVER-DEMO. Once running, it will expose the standard MCP endpoints and tooling facilities defined by the MCP protocol for interacting with a Minecraft-style command and event system. You can connect to the server using the MCP client tools provided by the repository or your own MCP-compatible client, send initialization or diagnostic requests, and utilize any built-in admin commands or query endpoints documented in the project. The server should respond to lifecycle commands (start, status, stop) and provide access to status metrics or event streams if implemented in the demo.

To interact with it, start the server using your typical Node.js workflow (npm install to fetch dependencies, then node server.js). After startup, connect your MCP client to the host and port configured by the server (default ports may be 8080 or as defined in the config). Use the available commands and diagnostics listed in the MCP protocol support within the demo to exercise status inquiries, command execution, and event subscriptions. If the demo includes any tooling scripts (such as cli.js or scripts for reproduction), run those to familiarize yourself with the capabilities.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (LTS version) and npm installed on your machine
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

Step-by-step:

1. Clone the repository or download the demo package: git clone <repository-url> cd cf-mcp-server-demo

2. Install dependencies: npm install

3. Configure environment if needed (optional):

   • Create a .env file to override defaults (e.g., PORT, HOST, MCP_CONFIG_PATH)

4. Start the server: npm start

   or, if a direct node run is preferred:

   node server.js

5. Verify startup:

   • Check console output for listening port and ready status
   • Connect an MCP client to the server using the configured host/port

6. (Optional) Run any provided admin or diagnostic scripts to validate functionality.

Notes:

• If the server does not start, verify that port 80 or the configured port is not in use by another process.
• Ensure your Node.js version is compatible with the server code (prefer LTS releases).
• The demo may expose placeholder or sample endpoints; do not rely on them for production use.
• If environment variables are exposed (in .env), they may include PORT, HOST, LOG_LEVEL, and MCP_ENDPOINTS. Adjust as needed for your environment.
• Check logs for error messages related to MCP handshake, protocol compatibility, or missing dependencies.
