Model Context Protocol: Build MCP Servers with TypeScript
Are you a forward-thinking front-end developer watching the rise of AI and wondering how your applications will integrate with this new conversational world? You see users wanting for more intuitive, natural language interactions with their software. You realize that traditional UIs, while essential, are no longer the only gateway. The future is about applications seamlessly exposing their capabilities to Large Language Models (LLMs), and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the key.
This book is your guide to becoming a developer who doesn't just build interfaces, but architects intelligent experiences. If you've felt the limitations of basic function calling and longed for a standardized way to connect your apps to AI, then MCP is the breakthrough you've been waiting for.
Why MCP is a Game-Changer for
Imagine your carefully crafted application logic and data, not hidden behind clicks and forms, but intelligently accessible through natural language. MCP is the "USB-C port for AI applications," a standard protocol that lets your applications "talk" to LLMs, exposing tools, resources, and even complex workflows.
With MCP, you can empower users
Execute complex tasks via simple instructions.Use multiple tools via one conversational interface.Access backend power without complex API knowledge.This isn't just about adding a "chat" feature; it's about fundamentally redefining how users interact with software, making your applications more powerful, accessible, and intuitive than ever before.
Inside This Hands-On Guide, You'll
MCP Grasp core concepts – Hosts, Servers, Clients, and capabilities like Tools, Resources, Prompts.Your First MCP Build a "Hello World" server, covering project setup, basic tool creation, and MCP Host integration.Practical Tool Develop a file metadata tool (file system).Create a GitHub issue search tool (external APIs, auth).Interactive Applications with Resources & Construct an advanced Help Center MCP, featuring dynamic resources, interconnected tools, data persistence, and server-side prompts for complex workflows.Real-World Learn to install, debug, and use MCP servers in environments like Claude Desktop and Cursor.Start Your MCP Journey
This book is designed to be your launchpad into the world of the Model Context Protocol. Each contains a coding example that you can complete in your spare time, with practical examples and clear explanations. You'll start with the basics and progressively build more sophisticated MCP servers, gaining the confidence and knowledge to apply these principles to your own projects.
By the end of this book, you'll be equipped
Design & build robust MCP servers (TypeScript).Expose app functions as tools/resources.Create server prompts for LLM interactions.Grasp MCP's impact on app development.
Chapter 1: MCP Introduction – What it is & its importance.Chapter 2: First MCP Server – Hello World, setup & debugging.
