Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "template": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@qmmughal/mcp-server-template"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add template -- npx -y @qmmughal/mcp-server-template

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "template": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@qmmughal/mcp-server-template"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "template": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@qmmughal/mcp-server-template"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is MCP Server Template safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Enterprise MCP Server Template 🚀

A production-ready, enterprise-grade template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in TypeScript and Node.js. Designed for scalability, type safety, and seamless integration with AI agents like Claude Desktop and Cursor.

📖 About

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI models interact with local and remote resources. This template provides a robust foundation for building your own custom MCP servers, eliminating boilerplate and enforcing best practices.

Key Features

Strict TypeScript: Modern ECMAScript targets with rigorous type safety.
Zod Validation: Runtime schema validation for tool inputs and environment variables, ensuring your server never crashes from malformed AI payloads.
Fast Bundling (esbuild): Compiles the entire server into a single, optimized executable (dist/index.js), eliminating the need to deploy node_modules.
Safe Structured Logging: Pre-configured pino logger writing safely to stderr, preserving the integrity of the stdout JSON-RPC transport required by MCP.
Modular Architecture: Clean separation of Tools, Resources, Prompts, and Services.
Vitest Integration: Blazing fast unit testing out of the box.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/qmmughal/mcp-server-template.git

cd mcp-server-template npm install

2. Configuration

Copy the example environment file and configure your variables:

cp .env.example .env

3. Development Workflow

Start the server in watch mode for local development:

npm run dev

Run the test suite:

npm test

Verify typings:

npm run typecheck

4. Production Build

Bundle the server into a single, optimized executable:

npm run build

*The output will be generated at dist/index.js.*

🔌 Connecting to an MCP Client

Claude Desktop

To connect this server to the Claude Desktop app, edit your Claude configuration file (usually found at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Mac):

"mcpServers": { "enterprise-template-server": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-template/dist/index.js"], "env": { "LOG_LEVEL": "info", "EXAMPLE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Cursor

In Cursor, navigate to Settings -> Features -> MCP and add a new MCP server:

Type: command
Command: node /absolute/path/to/mcp-server-template/dist/index.js

🏗️ Architecture Overview

src/index.ts: Application entrypoint, capability registration, and stdio connection setup.
src/tools/: Definitions and JSON schemas for MCP Tools (actions the AI can take).
src/resources/: Dynamic resources via URI templating (data the AI can read).
src/prompts/: Reusable agent prompt templates.
src/services/: Core business logic, keeping protocol handlers thin and testable.
src/utils/errors.ts: Standardized error handling aligned with MCP error codes.

📦 Publishing & Registry

package.json is publish-ready (scoped name @qmmughal/mcp-server-template, license, repository, keywords), and server.json + .github/workflows/publish-mcp.yml are wired up to publish to both npm and the [MCP Registry](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/registry) automatically whenever a v* tag is pushed:

git tag v1.0.0

git push origin v1.0.0

The workflow needs one repo secret before it can run: NPM_TOKEN (an npm automation token with publish rights to the @qmmughal scope). MCP Registry auth uses GitHub OIDC, so no extra secret is needed there.
