A modern CLI tool for generating production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers

Installation
Run this command in your terminal to add the MCP server to Claude Code.
Run in terminal:
Command
claude mcp add --transport stdio linuxdevil-create-mcp npx mcp-server-generator linuxdevil-create-mcp

How to use

This MCP server generator is a modern CLI tool that builds production-ready MCP servers by assembling a comprehensive, unified example that demonstrates all MCP features. It emphasizes a clean architecture and extensible design, so you can start from a complete, working server and then add or replace components as needed. The generator creates a ready-to-run project that includes data analysis capabilities, elicitation workflows, multiple analysis methodologies, MCP Inspector integration, testing scripts, and a solid development setup. You can use it to explore tools, resources, prompts, services, transports, and utilities in a single cohesive example, then extend or customize those components for your own use cases.

To get started, run the generator with your project name (for example, linuxdevil-create-mcp). The CLI scaffolds the full server project, installs dependencies (unless skipped), and provides built-in scripts to run quick tests, start a development server, and invoke the MCP Inspector for validation. You’ll have access to a broad set of capabilities, including data analysis with multiple methodologies, sampling, elicitation workflows, and testing pipelines, all wired together in one unified project. Use the generated commands and helper scripts to explore tools, resources, prompts, and services, then extend with your own components as needed.

How to install

Prerequisites:

  • Node.js (LTS version) and npm installed on your system
  • Optional: Git for cloning or versioning

Installation steps:

  1. Install the MCP Server Generator globally (recommended): npm install -g mcp-server-generator
  2. Use npx to generate a new MCP server project (example name provided below): npx mcp-server-generator linuxdevil-create-mcp
  3. Change into the generated project directory and install dependencies if prompted: cd linuxdevil-create-mcp npm install
  4. Start the development or test workflow as described in the generated README (the project includes scripts like npm run dev, npm run test, etc.).

Notes:

  • If you prefer not to install globally, you can still run the generator via npx as shown in step 2.
  • You can add --skip-install to the generator command to skip automatic dependency installation if you want to install later manually.

Additional notes

Tips and considerations:

  • The generator produces a unified example that showcases all MCP features; you can expand it by adding new tools, resources, prompts, services, transports, and utils using the provided add commands.
  • Review MCP Inspector integration in the generated project to validate behavior and run visual or CLI-based checks.
  • Common issues often relate to environment setup (Node version, npm permissions) or network access during dependency installation. Ensure Node.js and npm are correctly installed and that your network allows npm registry access.
  • Environment variables and configuration options in the generated project can be tuned via .env files or the project’s config files; check the docs within the generated project for specifics on available variables.
  • If you run into conflicts when extending components, use the backup and rollback features described in the docs to safely revert changes.
