You can run a TypeScript MCP server that communicates with clients over stdio (in-process) streams. This approach lets you embed the MCP server in any process and interact via standard input and output, making it easy to connect with MCP clients and tooling.

How to use

To use this MCP server with a client, start the server so it listens on the in-process stdio streams. Your client connects through the same process channels (stdin/stdout) and sends requests that the server handles. This setup is ideal when you want tight, low-latency communication inside a single process or when you’re orchestrating multiple components that communicate via standard streams.

Key steps you’ll typically follow: - Build the server to produce a runnable output file that the stdio transport can execute. - Run the start command to launch the server so it can accept and respond to MCP requests from a connected client. - Configure your MCP client to connect via stdio to the server entry point, so requests flow through the process channels.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and npm must be installed on your machine. Ensure you have a working environment for building and running a TypeScript project.

Step by step, run these commands in your project directory to set up and start the server after you have the source files available:

npm run compile
npm start

Additional notes

Here is the example configuration showing how a client can connect to this MCP server using stdio. This config points to the compiled server entry point and uses the stdio transport.
