mcp -ts

The mcp-ts server is a versatile Model Context Protocol framework designed specifically for TypeScript, enabling seamless communication through standard input/output, streamable HTTP, and Server-Sent Events (SSE). Developers can leverage this server to create efficient, real-time applications that require robust data handling and flexible connection options.

Once connected to the mcp-ts server, you can send and receive data using standard input/output or HTTP requests. For optimal performance, utilize the SSE feature for real-time updates, which is especially effective for applications needing instant data reflection. You can issue commands and queries through a web interface or directly via the command line, depending on your application's architecture.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download it from nodejs.org.

Option A: Quick start with npx

If you're looking to quickly start using the mcp-ts server without installing it globally, you can run:

npx -y mcp-server-ts

Option B: Global install alternative

To install the mcp-ts server globally, use the following command:

npm install -g mcp-server-ts

When configuring the mcp-ts server, pay attention to your environment variables to ensure optimal performance with SSE and HTTP streaming. Common configurations include setting the appropriate port and any required headers for your requests. A common gotcha is neglecting to handle CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) if you're making requests from a browser, so make sure to configure that in your server setup.
