SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build MCP servers with the Node/TypeScript SDK to expose tools, resources, and prompts in a scalable, transport-agnostic way.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tools & Resources: Register tools and resources and surface reusable prompts with schema validation to enable reliable model interactions.
  • Transport Flexibility: Supports stdio for local clients and Streamable HTTP for remote deployments, with clear guidance on choosing the right transport.
  • Use Case: When building a new MCP server or upgrading an existing one, use this pattern to standardize tool/resource definitions and ensure correct registration and transport behavior.

Quick Start

Install the MCP SDK and initialize a basic MCP server with a single tool and transport.

FAQPage Schema
How do I register tools and resources in an MCP server using Node and TypeScript?▼

To register tools and resources in an MCP server, use the Node/TypeScript SDK to define schemas with Zod validation and surface reusable prompts, ensuring reliable model interactions and scalable server design.

When should I use stdio versus Streamable HTTP transport for an MCP server?▼

Use stdio transport for local MCP clients and Streamable HTTP for remote deployments; choosing the right transport ensures correct registration and transport-agnostic behavior when building or upgrading MCP servers.

What is the best way to add schema validation to MCP server prompts?▼

The best way to add schema validation to MCP server prompts is using Zod validation within the Node/TypeScript SDK, standardizing tool and resource definitions to enable reliable model interactions.

Can I use the Model Context Protocol SDK with Node.js for scalable server design?▼

Yes, you can use the Model Context Protocol SDK with Node.js to build scalable servers, exposing tools, resources, and prompts in a transport-agnostic way with clear guidance on choosing transports.

Do I need Zod validation to maintain an MCP server in TypeScript?▼

Yes, understanding Zod validation is required when maintaining an MCP server in TypeScript, as it standardizes tool and resource definitions to surface reusable prompts for reliable model interactions.
