My First MCP Server

Project Purpose

This project is my first implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server as part of the Nextflows Academy MCP training.

The server exposes a simple tool called greet, which accepts a user's name as input and returns a greeting message. The project demonstrates the basic structure of an MCP server using the official TypeScript SDK and shows how tools are registered and tested using MCP Inspector.

Technologies Used

  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK v1.29.0
  • Zod
  • MCP Inspector
