A CLI tool for quickly scaffolding Model Context Protocol (MCP) server applications with TypeScript support and modern development tooling
A CLI tool for quickly scaffolding Model Context Protocol (MCP) server applications with TypeScript support and modern development tooling. The create mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.
create-mcp-app is a monorepo project that provides tools and templates for building MCP applications. It uses modern development practices and tools to ensure a smooth development experience. The project is designed to help developers quickly set up and start building MCP applications with best practices and modern tooling.
The server ships on npm as create-mcp-server-app, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverAmong the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Create's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by boguan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
