Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Example servers and clients for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), in five languages. These are companion examples for two official tutorials:

  • Build an MCP server – a simple MCP weather server exposing two tools backed by the US National Weather Service API
  • Build an MCP client – an LLM-powered chatbot MCP client that connects to any stdio server and lets Claude call its tools

What's in this repository

Each example lives in its own directory with its own README covering prerequisites, setup, and how to run it:

All servers communicate over stdio and expose the same two tools: get_forecast and get_alerts (or get-forecast and get-alerts in TypeScript).

All clients launch a server, list its tools, and start an interactive chat loop in which Claude can call those tools. The Python, TypeScript, and Ruby clients take a path to a server script; the Go and Rust clients take the command to

Questions

What is the Quickstart Resources MCP server?

A repository of servers and clients from the Model Context Protocol tutorials

What tools does Quickstart Resources expose?

4 in total: 4 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Quickstart Resources safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does Quickstart Resources need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Quickstart Resources run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as mcp-quickstart-ts at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e810b20b3c78), read on 2026-09-25. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
