A MCP-Server for Ky2Help leveraging the MCP TypeScript SDK.
Features
This project provides:
- TypeScript - Full TypeScript support with strict configuration
- Vite - Fast build system with ES modules output
- Express - Fast, unopinionated web framework for HTTP server
- ESLint + Prettier - Code quality and formatting
- Docker - Containerization support
Getting Started
The easiest way to get started is using degit:
Install dependencies
npm installBuild the project
npm run buildStart the server
npm start
The server will be available at http://localhost:3000 for MCP connections.
Development
Watch mode for development (with hot reloading)
npm run dev
Build the project
npm run build
Linting
- Lint the project
npm run lint
- Fix all auto-fixable lint errors
npm run lint:fix
Formatting
- Format files in the project
npm run format
- Check formatting
npm run format:check
Testing Your MCP Server
You can test your MCP server using the MCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
This will launch a web interface that allows you to:
- Connect to your MCP server
- Test your tools interactively
- View request/response messages
- Debug your MCP implementation
Make sure your server is running (using npm start or npm run dev) before connecting with the inspector.
Available Tools
The MCP server includes the following tools:
getChanges
Get Ky2Helpü Changes.
Parameters:
message(string) - The message to echo back
Customizing Your MCP Server
- Update package.json - Change name, description, and keywords
- Modify src/index.ts - Replace the echo tool with your custom tools
- Add your logic - Create additional TypeScript files for your business logic
- Update README - Document your specific MCP server functionality

Architecture
This template follows a simple architecture:
- HTTP Transport - Uses Express with StreamableHTTPServerTransport for remote MCP connections
- Tool Registration - Tools are registered with JSON schemas for input validation
- Error Handling - Proper MCP-formatted error responses
- Session Management - Handles MCP session initialization and management
Example: Adding a New Tool
import { createTextResult } from "./lib/utils.js";
server.registerTool(
"my_tool",
{
title: "My Custom Tool",
description: "Description of what this tool does",
inputSchema: {
param1: z.string().describe("Description of param1"),
param2: z.number().optional().describe("Optional parameter"),
},
},
async (args) => {
// Your tool logic here
const result = await myCustomLogic(args.param1, args.param2);
return createTextResult(result);
},
);
Why Express?
This template uses Express for the HTTP server, which provides:
- MCP SDK Compatibility - Full compatibility with the MCP TypeScript SDK's StreamableHTTPServerTransport
- Mature & Stable - Battle-tested HTTP server with extensive ecosystem
- TypeScript Support - Excellent TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
- Middleware Ecosystem - Rich ecosystem of middleware for common tasks
- Documentation - Comprehensive documentation and community support
- Reliability - Proven reliability for production applications
