Mcp StarterSAFE
An opinionated starter template for making Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
A production-ready starter template for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with TypeScript.
🚀 Quick Start
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies:
bun install
✨ Key Features
- Bun for fast testing and development
- Biome for linting and formatting
- Automated version management with standard-version
- Clean, maintainable project structure

⚙️ Configuration
Creating New Tools
The project includes a script to help create new MCP tools:
bun run scripts/create-tool.ts
This will:
- Create a new tool directory under
src/tools/ - Generate the basic tool structure including:
- index.ts (main implementation)
- schema.ts (JSON schema for tool parameters)
- test.ts (test file)
- Update the tools index file to export the new tool
Example:
bun run scripts/create-tool.ts weather
🛠️ Development
- Run tests:
bun test - Format code:
bun run format - Lint code:
bun run lint - Build project:
bun run build
To add your development MCP server to Claude Desktop:
- Build the project:
bun run build
- Add to your Claude Desktop config:
// You only need the argument if you need to pass arguments to your server
{
"mcpServers": {
"your-server-name": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/your/project/dist/main.js", "some_argument"]
}
}
}📜 Version Management

Questions
What is the Mcp Starter MCP server?
An opinionated starter template for making Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers
What tools does Mcp Starter expose?
1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Mcp Starter 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 Mcp Starter need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Mcp Starter run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as mcp-starter.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (3f0f0df77bbf), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
