MCP TypeScript Simple Template MCP Server

A lightweight, ready-to-use TypeScript template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This template provides the essential scaffolding to create custom AI tools that can be seamlessly integrated with large language models. The mcp typescript simple template mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.

What it actually does

This template implements a basic MCP server with a sample BMI calculator tool. It demonstrates how to:

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Development — 1. Modify index.ts to add your own tools 2. Run the build command to compile:

Configuration

• Node.js (v20 or higher recommended) - npm or yarn

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

When to reach for it

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP TypeScript Simple Template's toolset — Development — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ChenReuven; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mcp typescript simple template mcp server does with a few real requests.
