Template-MCP

Template repository for creating MokoStandards-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) API servers. Provides the scaffolding, configuration patterns, and architecture conventions used by all Moko Consulting MCP servers, enabling AI assistants like Claude to interact with REST APIs through a standardized tool interface.

Features

• MCP server scaffolding -- pre-configured TypeScript project structure with entry point, tool registration, and stdio transport ready to go
• Multi-connection support -- built-in config.json pattern for managing multiple named API connections with a default fallback; all tools accept an optional connection parameter
• REST API bridge architecture -- standardized pattern for bridging any REST API as MCP tools, with typed request/response handling
• TypeScript-first -- full TypeScript setup with tsconfig.json, strict mode, and ES module output
• Build tooling -- Makefile with build, dev, clean, and lint targets; npm scripts for compilation and development
• MokoStandards compliant -- follows all Moko Consulting governance conventions: file headers, commit messages, .gitattributes, .gitmessage, PR/issue templates
• Example configuration -- config.example.json demonstrates the connection configuration schema
• Documentation templates -- wiki pages for API reference, architecture overview, and installation pre-generated

Installation

1. Create a new repository from this template (or clone directly):

   git clone https://git.mokoconsulting.tech/MokoConsulting/Template-MCP.git my-mcp-server
   cd my-mcp-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Copy and configure the connection file:

   cp config.example.json config.json
   # Edit config.json with your API credentials
   

4. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

5. Run the server:

   node build/index.js
