}You can run an MCP server locally to host modular tools that clients can interact with. This server hosts MCP tools, executes them on demand, and integrates with clients to enable model context workflows.
You connect to the MCP server from an MCP client or Claude Desktop by configuring the client to reach the server. The server loads your available MCP tools at startup, and clients can request tool execution, pass input data, and receive results. Practical usage patterns include starting the server locally for development, building new tools, and testing tool execution end-to-end with a client.
Prerequisites you need installed on your machine before starting are Node.js and npm. You will also build the project to generate runnable artifacts.
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run buildYou can run the MCP server locally using a standard Node.js runtime or via a package runner. The server is designed to load tools on startup and expose them to MCP clients.
# Run locally after building (example)
node dist/index.jsChange tools or add new ones, then rebuild and verify startup loads the updated tools. You can test locally by running the built server and exercising tool execution from your MCP client.
# Build after changes
npm run build
# Optional: test locally with the runtime
node dist/index.jsWhen you publish or deploy your MCP server, clients reference the server through a runtime command configuration. A typical local development setup uses a direct Node.js invocation, while a published setup can be invoked via a package runner such as npx.
